Slate Cleaning, Sealing & Repair
Specialized Care for Your Floors, and Surfaces
Slate is a distinctive natural stone valued for its texture, depth, and durability. Its layered structure and cleft surface create a bold, organic look—but also make slate one of the most challenging stones to maintain properly. Using harsh cleaners, incorrect sealers, or aggressive scrubbing can lead to fading, flaking, and permanent surface damage.
Restoria provides professional slate cleaning, sealing, and repair services throughout the Greater Milwaukee & SE Wisconsin area, focused on preserving slate’s natural character while extending its lifespan in both residential and commercial settings.

Our Slate Cleaning & Restoration Process
Slate requires controlled, stone-specific methods that clean effectively without stripping natural oils or weakening the stone’s layered structure. Unlike smooth stones, slate traps dirt within its clefts and texture, requiring a careful, step-by-step approach.
Our slate cleaning and restoration process may include:
- Deep cleaning with stone-safe solutions to remove embedded soil, residues, and contaminants
- Gentle agitation techniques designed to lift debris from textured surfaces without causing flaking
- Repair and stabilization of loose or damaged slate pieces, addressing minor movement and surface breakdown
- Edge smoothing and surface refinement to reduce sharp edges and uneven wear
- Application of penetrating or enhancing sealers for protection and visual balance
Sealers are selected based on the slate type, surface location, moisture exposure, and desired finish—whether maintaining a natural matte appearance or subtly enhancing color depth.

Did You Know?
Slate is a metamorphic stone formed under intense heat and pressure, giving it natural layers. Improper cleaning or sealing can cause those layers to separate—a process known as spalling—which is why professional care is essential for long-term slate preservation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can damaged slate be repaired, or does it need replacement?
A. In many cases, slate can be repaired. Loose tiles, minor flaking, and uneven areas can often be stabilized and restored without full replacement.
Q. Should slate floors or showers be shiny?
A. Most slate surfaces are best kept matte or low-sheen. High-gloss finishes can create slip hazards and may damage the stone over time.
