That’s the difference between a go getter vs Mike Austin. The go getter makes time and shares his experience to help others. Mike Austin expresses his envy on the go getter’s KZbin channel. Step up your game Mike Austin. You’re better than that!

SH isn’t to be used on limestone. I’ve noticed that most in the industry are not researching the different types of stone they are cleaning. Look this up if you don’t believe me. Homemade solutions and steam cleaning are two other cleaning methods to avoid. The most common homemade hacks - vinegar, lemon and baking soda - are all very acidic and will damage limestone. Bleach should also be avoided; whilst it is alkaline, rather than acidic, it is still too harsh for natural stone….

[@parker.simmons4]

Most people will trade a slightly damaged surface of a stone that looks clean and brand new over a stone caked with gloeocapsa magma. Pre-wetting also diminishes the tiny amount of damage that SH could cause

[@BigHammbowski]

Whisper wash is the only brand surface cleaners I’ll buy. Just picked up a big guy today
