Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What are the potential consequences of not sealing marble floors?
- A: Neglecting to seal marble floors can leave them vulnerable to damage. Spills containing oils or harsh substances have the potential to penetrate the porous surface of the marble, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be effectively removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. It is highly advisable to seal your marble tiles to preserve their natural appearance, protect them from permanent staining, and prevent accidental damage in the future. By sealing your marble floors, you can extend their longevity, maintain their pristine condition, and facilitate easier and more convenient maintenance.
- Q: What is the estimated time required to reseal my marble floors?
- A: The duration of resealing your marble floors varies depending on the size of the area being sealed. Typically, most jobs can be completed within 4 to 8 hours. To ensure convenience, we perform both the cleaning and resealing on the same day, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
- Q: Can sealing my marble floors conceal scratches and etches?
- A: The colour enhancing sealer offered by Tile Cleaners® has the potential to minimize the appearance of scratches on your marble floors, but we cannot assure that they will be completely restored to their original condition. Our Deepshield™ Penetrating Colour Enhancing Sealer can darken your marble tiles by up to 20%, effectively helping to camouflage etches and reviving the natural, fresh look of your marble floors.
- Q: How can I determine if my marble floors require sealing?
- A: Tile Cleaning recommends conducting a simple "water test" to assess whether your marble floors necessitate sealing. This widely recognized test in the stone industry involves placing a few drops of water on the stone surface and allowing it to remain for approximately 10 to 30 minutes. Subsequently, wipe the water dry. If the marble did not darken during this process, it indicates that your marble is adequately sealed and does not require further sealing. However, if the water caused darkening of the marble, it signifies that the water was able to penetrate the stone, indicating the need for sealing.
- Q: What is the significance of sealing marble tiles?
- A: Sealing marble tiles is crucial as it provides a protective barrier against liquid spills and dirt particles that could penetrate the natural stone. Unlike polishes, sealers are specifically designed to prevent substances from sinking into the marble. It is highly recommended to have your marble tiles sealed, especially when they are first installed, as this initial seal can last for up to 15 years. It is advised to contact us promptly after the installation of your marble floors so that we can protect them from any potential permanent damage.
