The beauty of honing is centered on how many layers of soil trapped in the micro-pores of your Travertine, Marble, Limestone, Terrazzo, and Onyx natural stone floors. The first principle of floor refinishing is to thoroughly "clean" Travertine, Marble, Limestone, Terrazzo, and Onyx natural stone floors to remove the unwanted soil "before" polishing. There is a difference between "grinding" (deep scratches and lippage removal) and "honing" Travertine, Marble, Limestone, Terrazzo, and Onyx. 

Simply stated, honing is centered on removing micro-scratches caused by "surface damage" from foot abrasion, etching not limited to "chemical burns," "bodily fluids," and "acidic beverages." The "honing process" will remove the "surface damage" and prepare the Travertine, Marble, Limestone, Terrazzo, and Onyx floor prior to polishing. In many cases, a light honing will remove most "surface imperfections" to reveal the beautiful veining and unique characteristics of Travertine, Marble, Limestone, and Onyx floors, showers, and countertops that lies beneath.

Stone Care of Arizona, Arizona's stone care expert will hone the Travertine, Marble, Limestone, and Onyx with "surface precision." Careless honing can do more harm than good. This is the reason Stone Care of Arizona is known as honing experts who can restore the natural stone to its original beauty. 

PLEASE NOTE: If you prefer no shine, the "dull honed" appearance may be a preferred final finish. Due to the rich character of natural stone, some opt to keep the honed finish and may forgo the added step of polishing.
