Slate Cleaning, Sealing & Restoration | Peoria and Central IL

Reveal the Natural Character of Your Slate

Trusted by homeowners and businesses across Peoria, IL since 1989

Slate offers a unique, textured look that adds depth and character to any space—but its uneven surface and natural clefts can easily trap dirt and lose vibrancy over time.

Without proper care, slate can appear dull, faded, and difficult to clean.

At Personal Touch Service Solutions, we provide professional slate cleaning, sealing, and restoration in Peoria and Central Illinois, bringing back rich color, improving cleanliness, and protecting the surface for long-term durability.

Slate Sealing Service

Our Professional Slate Cleaning & Sealing Process

Slate requires a specialized approach due to its textured surface and ability to trap dirt within its layers.

Our process is designed to clean deeply while enhancing its natural appearance:

  1. Inspection & Evaluation – Assess buildup, wear, and current condition
    Deep Cleaning – Remove embedded dirt, grime, and old residues
  2. Surface Detailing – Clean textured areas and grout lines thoroughly
  3. Stain Treatment – Address discoloration and problem spots
  4. Color Enhancement (if desired) – Enrich and deepen the natural tones of the slate
  5. Sealing – Apply penetrating or enhancing sealers for protection

Each step is carefully performed to preserve the natural texture while improving overall appearance.
