Zona 1 tip: Never clean cantería stone with hydrochloric acid or high pressure: it erodes. Low pressure and neutral products.
Cleaning stone without eroding it
Cantería is porous volcanic stone. Excess pressure strips the surface, and acids stain it permanently. We use low pressure, pH-appropriate products and always test on a hidden area first.
The north coast
In Bañaderos, El Puertillo and San Andrés, salt adds to the damp. We neutralise salt before cleaning and recommend a breathable sealer so the stone can breathe.
Frequently asked questions in Arucas
Can cantería stone be pressure washed?
Only with low, controlled pressure, the right nozzle and a compatible product. High pressure erodes it. We always test first.
