Frequently Asked Questions
- A: The process is virtually dust free. There is no airborne dust due to the use of Hepa filter vacuum systems. There will be some residual dust left on the floor but it will be vacuumed up between steps by another filtered vacuum. A little dust is created when using hand held grinders, however this is removed between each grinding stage.

Other FAQs :
- Q: Does sealing concrete surfaces help prevent efflorescence?
- A: Efflorescence can occur on concrete and other porous surfaces when water in the concrete brings salts to the surface as it evaporates. This process leaves behind a whitish coating that can mar the finish of the concrete. Sealing the concrete with a high-quality, water-resistant sealer can help mitigate efflorescence to some extent. However, it is important to address the underlying issue causing the water penetration, such as a water pipe leak or damaged grout, in order to fully prevent efflorescence. By sealing the concrete and resolving any sources of water infiltration, you can minimize the occurrence of efflorescence and help maintain the aesthetic integrity of your concrete surfaces.
- Q: Is coloured concrete and/or coloured aggregates available?
- A: When laying a new slab, a wide range of coloured concretes and coloured aggregates are available for you to choose from.
- Q: What maintenance steps can I take to preserve the appearance of my concrete surfaces and keep them looking new?
- A: To maintain the fresh and new appearance of your concrete surfaces, Tile Cleaners® recommends regular cleaning using a mild detergent. This weekly cleaning routine helps remove dirt and grime from the concrete surface, keeping it looking clean and well-maintained. It is important to note that strong detergents with high acidity or alkalinity can potentially affect the sealer applied to the concrete. Therefore, it is strongly advised to use mild detergents and pH-neutral substances when cleaning the surfaces. By following these maintenance guidelines, you can effectively preserve the pristine condition of your concrete and ensure its long-lasting beauty.
- Q: What is the estimated time required to polish concrete?
- A: The duration required to complete concrete polishing varies depending on the size of the area. For larger projects, such as expansive floors, it may take up to three days to complete the polishing process. On the other hand, polishing a smaller surface like a bench-top can typically be finished within half a day. Professional services like Tile Cleaners® strive to minimize disruptions by aiming to complete the work within the same day, ensuring your home or business experiences as little interruption as possible.
- Q: Can we just use plain water to clean the floors?
- A: Yes, however it is always best to use a pH neutral cleaner to suspend the dirt so it can be cleaned off the floor instead of just spread around on the floor and leaving a hazy film on the surface.
