Each stone takes water and chemicals differently, so we match the method to the material, and quote stone work after seeing it.

What we see far more often is masonry used as trim on a stucco house. Stacked stone veneer on the lower third of a wall. Brick or stone wrapped around entry columns. Keystone around a front door or along a pool wall. Stone on outdoor kitchens, fire pits, mailbox posts and gate pillars. These surfaces are porous. They pull in water and hold it, and in Naples humidity that means green algae, black mildew and lichen settle into the joints and the rough face of the stone. Irrigation adds rust and mineral staining. Salt air near the water leaves a gray film that dulls natural color. Porosity varies a lot by stone. Fired clay brick is fairly hard. Manufactured stone veneer is a cast concrete product with a colored surface layer. Florida keystone, a coral-based limestone, is soft and full of holes. A pressure that cleans brick safely can pit keystone or strip the color off cast veneer. That is why we test first. A small out-of-the-way patch tells us how the stone reacts before we clean the whole feature. ![Washing a stone veneer column on a Naples home entry](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Power-Wash-House.webp)Entry columns and veneer wainscots are the most common stone features we clean.Sealed stoneIf your stone was sealed, tell us when you call. Some sealers dull or haze with certain cleaners, and we adjust the mix to protect them. ⚖️ Matching the Method to the Stone Method by Material ![Comparison of soft wash and pressure wash on masonry](https://naples-pressure-washing.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Soft-Wash-vs.-Pressure-Wash.webp)Most stone features get a soft wash with hand detail work.Brick handles moderate pressure on its face, but the mortar joints are weaker. Older mortar can wash out of the joint under a narrow spray. We clean brick with a wide fan and a cleaning solution, and keep the tip away from the joints. Manufactured stone veneer gets a soft wash only. Its color sits in the top layer of the casting, and high pressure can wear it away in patches that cannot be fixed. Keystone and other limestones react to acid. Many store-bought masonry cleaners are acid-based and will etch these stones. We use a neutral or alkaline cleaner, low pressure and a soft brush for spots that need extra work. White powder on brick or stone is often efflorescence, salts that the water carried out of the masonry. It is handled with a dry brush and a specific treatment, since more water can bring more of it to the surface. | Material | Weak Point | Pressure | Cleaner | | -------- | ---------- | -------- | ------- | | Clay brick | Mortar joints | Low to moderate, fan tip | Mold and algae solution | | Stone veneer (cast) | Colored surface layer | Soft wash only | Mild solution, long dwell | | Florida keystone | Soft, open pores | Soft wash, hand brush | Non-acid only | | Natural stacked stone | Loose pieces, joints | Low | Mild solution | | Travertine wall cladding | Acid-sensitive surface | Low | Non-acid only | 🏛 Stone Features We Clean Around the Property Front of house ### Columns and veneer wainscots The lower walls and column bases catch sprinkler spray and soil splash.
