Limestone is unable to be polished. The outside of a building protects it from the weather while also conveying its historic character. The external designs, features, and materials of a building or structure may frequently reveal its age, style, and significance. Changes in taste, fashion, architectural style, and use are all possible. What was once admired as beautiful now seems outdated or even ugly. Polishing buildings is done for aesthetic purposes. There are two types of polishing: fine-grained (such as sandpaper) and rough-textured (such as stone). A fine polish removes much of the skin's protective coating while a rough polish leaves some skin visible. Neither type of polish changes the underlying material; it is still just limestone. Although you can't see the stone underneath a fine polish, it is still important to clean your house regularly with a soft brush to prevent damage from happening over time. A fine polish will not remove this kind of dirt, but it can be washed off with soapy water. If your house is made out of limestone, then it too will need to be cleaned regularly with a soft brush and soapy water to preserve its look and feel. Limestone does not absorb water so it is best to wash it away immediately after it has rained so that the surface doesn't get wet and begin to crack. People often think that if something is old then it must be valuable.
