Inside a residential complex in Lucca, in Italy, an outdoor travertine staircase showed clear signs of advanced deterioration. Over time, constant exposure to rain, humidity and weather conditions led to heavy contamination from algae, mould and biological buildup. As a result, the surface became dark, uneven and slippery.

Rust stains on floors are a common issue, especially on outdoor surfaces. These yellowish marks can affect the appearance of stone materials and are often difficult to remove without the right treatment. In many cases, the cause is linked to everyday activities such as garden care. The use of fertilizers and lawn treatments can lead to rust formation due to the presence of iron sulfate. When it comes into contact with moisture, it oxidizes and leaves persistent stains on surfaces. During a project in Italy, in the city of Empoli, MG Service Company handled this exact issue. The team worked on stone surfaces affected by deep rust stains, which required a precise and professional approach to remove them without damaging the material.
