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. Consequently, both aesthetics and safety declined. In cases like this, simple cleaning does not solve the issue. Instead, professionals need a structured craft restoration process, carried out with care and precision. EcoTecnologia di Pulitura by Orsucci Paolo handled the intervention. The company specialises in the professional restoration of natural stone surfaces.
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.
The artisan company PIPPOLO, specialized since 1991 in the treatment of stone materials in the Tuscany–Emilia region, carried out a restoration and enhancement of a terrazzo floor.
The work included three main phases: a deep cleaning with SGRISER and a red pad to remove old treatments and incrustations; the hydrophobic protection with TON PLUS to prevent the absorption of liquids and revive the colors; and finally, the finishing with POLIFIN, a self-polishing metallized wax that provides brilliance and resistance to foot traffic.
The result is a terrazzo floor that is renewed, luminous, and perfectly protected.
The cleaning of outdoor Tuscan cotto in Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy involved the floor of a villa set in the Tuscan countryside. The surface was made of handmade cotto and was heavily affected by mould, lichens, moss and darkening. Over time, constant exposure to the weather and the high porosity of the material accelerated the deterioration of the surface. For this reason, a targeted artisan intervention on outdoor Tuscan cotto was needed. The work was carried out by DELTA Special Applications with the goal of restoring the floor without changing its original appearance or material character.
Restoring an outdoor teak floor is essential when wood surfaces, exposed over time to weather conditions, lose their original appearance and become grey and dull. A proper restoration not only improves outdoor aesthetics, but also helps extend the lifespan of the material. In this case, the work was carried out in Rome, Italy by Davide Incredibile, a skilled craftsman active since 1995 and specialized in surface restoration, with a clear goal: “freeing floors” and bringing them back to their original beauty.
