What is Limestone Exactly?
So according to Wikipedia, limestone is ancient sea life that has hardened over time. It’s true I have researched this for years. Not even a real stone that has been melted down like most of the rocks and boulders we see. Why am I telling you this? A couple of reasons.
One reason is that because it has not been molten lava at one time and then cured it is more fragile, and it is. Limestone is a very soft “stone” . This means you have to be very careful of it especially when pressure washing or cleaning it. Too many times I have seen etch marks put into limestone houses and buildings from people using too much pressure with their washers and not at the right angle.
The second reason is that because it has not been melted down it is not as dense. In truth, limestone because of this reason is a very porous stone. This brings me to my next section. The type of pollutants that contaminate limestone can ultimately make it look undesirable.

What Types of Pollutants Contaminate Limestone?
As a 1st Genuine limestone cleaning company in Chicago we know this. In fact, in Chicago, there are two types of pollutants that can make your limestone look dingy. The first is biological. This sounds so much more than it means. Honestly, it just means mold and mildew. Have you ever seen dark green or even black areas on your limestone? Chances are it is most likely mold and mildew.
The second type of pollutant is atmospheric and yes in Chicago we do get plenty of this. This is carbon deposits from all of the cars, trucks, buses, planes, trains, lawnmowers Etc. It is sort of gross because we are all breathing this in every day. However, it is a fact of life living in the city. This pollutant settles on everything, and when it settles on limestone it clings to it giving your limestone a more grey look, not the white or brighter look it once had.

Many reasons. However, I do want to show some before and after photos in this post so I won’t gloat too much. First, we are using $10,000 stem pressure washers, with specialty tips.

In conjunction with the heat from our pressure washers and the tips, then adding the fact that we have a proprietary blend of soaps that lift the mold, mildew, dirt, and carbon-free from the limestone surface.
