Why we don't use chemicals
Chemical cleaning can cause several harmful effects on stonework. Staining may occur due to mobilisation of coloured minerals (principally those containing iron and manganese) within the stone. As fluids evaporate from the stone these coloured minerals may be deposited at the stone surface. Bleaching can be caused if coloured minerals at the stone surface are dissolved and washed out of the stone.
Salt efflorescences can be caused by incomplete removal of stonecleaning chemicals from the stone. Any soluble salt residues left in the stone will be concentrated at the surface as water is absorbed and evaporated from the stone during normal weathering processes. Stonecleaning chemicals may gain access to the interior of stonework through open or damaged joints or through the stone face. Surface roughening is not usually a great problem with chemical cleaning but some pitting of the surface can occur.
