How to Clean a Filled & Honed Limestone Table Top

Natural limestone for quarrying is formed when dissolved limestone is re-deposited by water. The water eventually evaporates, leaving behind tiny air bubbles that are often filled with a cement mixture prior to finishing the surface of the limestone. Filled and honed limestone tabletops must be cleaned with a pH neutral stone cleaner to avoid damaging the surface.
