Slate is one of many stone types our products are suitable for. If you own slate surfaces, you probably know this stone type is resistant to most staining. However, it is highly vulnerable to spalling and scratching. With that in mind, you need to take proper care of these surfaces if you want them to remain in good condition. Cleaning Slate isn’t always the easiest task. This is because you need to be wary of which cleaning methods and products you use.
The easiest and fastest way to clean it is with a pressure washer if you have a large slate patio, walkway, or driveway. However, Slate is incredibly vulnerable to high pressures. So, if you were to use a pressure washer, your surfaces would spall, chip, and deteriorate over time. With that in mind, you’ll need to find a different method for keeping your slate surfaces free from dirt, grime, and other substances.
Here at TSS Pro Sealants, we offer a range of high-quality sealants designed to protect stone surfaces against a range of concerns. Applying a sealant means cleaning and maintenance won’t have to be carried out quite as often. Additionally, some of our sealants offer self-cleaning technology, so you won’t have to worry about such a thing.

Slate Cleaning
There are various cleaning solutions out there. However, not all of them will be suitable for slate cleaning. The best way to clean slate surfaces is to first sweep the surface to get rid of loose debris and dirt. Then, you should use a low-pressure cleaner or a soft-bristled brush with warm water. This should be enough to provide adequate and effective cleaning.
Although Slate is pretty resistant to stains, this doesn’t mean it never stains. If your slate surfaces are riddled with stains, a more heavy-duty cleaning will be needed. Of course, if you’re looking to prevent staining in the long run, the best way to do this is by sealing your surfaces. However, it’s not enough to use just any sealer.
Many products on the market don’t provide the level of protection that they promise. Additionally, the majority of sealants are known to leave a yellow hue on the surface of the stone, taking away from its natural beauty. If this is something you’re looking to avoid, you’ll need one of our high-quality products.
The TSS Pro sealants have been expertly created to outperform other sealants. What’s more, you’ll never have to worry about a coating being left on the surface of your stone. Instead, our products offer beautiful matte and gloss finishes to enhance the natural color and appearance of the stone.
