Slate is a metamorphic rock with natural cleavage planes that create its characteristic layered appearance. While durable, slate can be affected by:

• Acidic cleaners that etch the surface and dull the finish
• Harsh chemicals that strip protective sealants
• Textured surface that traps soap scum and hard water deposits
• Natural oil finish on some slate that can be damaged by strong detergents

• Hard water buildup in textured surface
• Soap scum trapped between layers
• Mildew in grout lines
• Dull appearance from improper cleaners
• White film or haze from mineral deposits
