Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: When is the best time to seal marble floors, and what are the indicators that suggest my marble floors are in need of sealing?
• A: The best time to seal marble floors is immediately after installation to provide proactive protection against accidental staining or damage. To determine if your marble floors require sealing, look for patchy areas on the floor where the sealant may have worn off. Additionally, if you notice that the marble tiles are becoming more susceptible to staining, it indicates that the existing sealer has deteriorated, and resealing is necessary to maintain the integrity and appearance of your marble floors. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure the long-term beauty and protection of your marble floors.
• Q: How often should marble floors be sealed according to the recommended frequency?
• A: The recommended frequency for sealing marble floors depends on various factors, including the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic the tiles experience. In Australia, the Deepshield® range offers deep impregnating water-based sealers, with Deepshield Gold® specifically designed for denser materials like marble and granite, providing protection for up to 15 years. Topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, if your marble floors endure heavy foot traffic or are exposed to severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), the lifespan of the sealer may be shorter. It is also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and an increased susceptibility to staining, it may indicate that resealing is necessary. For further inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact our team, who will be delighted to assist you.
• Q: Is it possible to remove a stain from my marble floor?
• A: If the stain on your marble floor is recent and has not deeply set in, there is a good chance that it can be removed. However, it is important to note that complete stain removal cannot be guaranteed. The commitment of Tile Cleaning is to clean the floor to the best possible condition. The success of stain removal also depends on whether the marble tiles have been previously sealed or not. Some stains may penetrate the natural stone and settle below the surface, making them more challenging to clean. To prevent future staining and maintain the appearance of your marble floors, Tile Cleaning recommends a comprehensive process that involves stripping, cleaning, and sealing the marble floor. This approach provides protection and reduces the susceptibility of your marble floors to staining.
• Q: What is the pricing structure for cleaning Marble tiles provided by Tile Cleaning?
• A: Tile Cleaning charges for cleaning Marble tiles based on the square meterage of each separate room. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaning website for your reference. Prior to starting the cleaning process, the Tile Cleaning team will measure each room individually, discuss the scope of work to be performed, and provide you with a confirmation of all associated costs. This ensures transparency and allows you to have a clear understanding of the pricing structure before the cleaning service commences.
• Q: What are the potential consequences if marble floors are not sealed?
• A: If marble floors are not sealed, they can be more susceptible to damage. Oily or harsh spills can penetrate the pores of the marble tiles, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be effectively removed with domestic cleaning methods. To prevent such staining and maintain the natural look and feel of marble tiles, it is strongly recommended to seal them. Sealing provides a protective barrier that safeguards against permanent staining and helps prevent future accidental damage. By sealing your marble floors, you can ensure they retain their optimal appearance for a longer period and make maintenance easier and more convenient.
