Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: How do I know if my bluestone floors need sealing?
- A: Tile Cleaners® advise the simple "water test". The water test is well known in the stone industry and it will help you determine whether your bluestone floors require sealing. First you need to place a few drops of water on your stone and let it set for around 10 to 30 minutes then wipe it dry. If your stone did not darken, it means your bluestone is perfectly sealed and does not require sealing, but if it has darkened, it means that the water was able to penetrate your stone and sealing is required.
- Q: Will the colour enhancer affect the texture of my bluestone floors?
- A: Tile Cleaners® colours enhancer will not affect the texture of your bluestone, however, it will enhance the colour of your bluestone tiles and bring out the natural beauty of your surfaces.
- Q: What should I do to prepare my bluestone floors before sealing?
- A: Move all furniture and items off your bluestone floors so they are ready for when we arrive.
- Q: What is acid etching and how can I protect my bluestone against it?
- A: Any acidic substance is harmful for your bluestone tiles, they can be etched(eaten/corroded) easily and sealing against acid attack is very difficult. The best way to protect your bluestone tiles from acid attack is to seal and clean spills immediately. The high porosity of stone based tiles makes sealing a must in order to provide protection against future acid attack and liquid spillage.
- Q: What kind of sealer do you apply? And will it affect the texture of my bluestone tiles?
- A: All of our sealing products are water based, we do not apply solvent- based sealer except in certain cases where it is the only option. The sealer will not affect the texture of your bluestone tiles in any way; however, it will protect your bluestone from staining and maintain that lustrous, natural finish you are looking for.
