Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: Can accumulated efflorescence be removed from surfaces?
• A: Yes, it is possible to remove accumulated efflorescence from surfaces. We have the expertise and tools required for this task. Our process involves using effective efflorescence removers and employing specialized cleaning techniques. It is important to note that efflorescence is often caused by underlying issues such as leaks behind stones, tiles, or damaged grout lines. While we can successfully eliminate the visible efflorescence, it is crucial to address and resolve the root cause to prevent its reappearance in the future. By addressing both the efflorescence buildup and the contributing factors, we can restore the surface to its desired condition.
• Q: What are the benefits of hiring a professional to seal my outdoor tiles?
• A: Organizing a professional to seal your outdoor tiles offers several benefits. Firstly, professionals have the expertise and knowledge to select the appropriate type of sealer for your specific tile material and outdoor conditions. They are familiar with industry standards and can ensure that the sealer is applied correctly and effectively. Additionally, professionals will thoroughly clean the tiles before sealing, removing any dirt, stains, or blemishes. This step is crucial as sealing over dirt or blemishes can lock them in, affecting the appearance and long-term durability of the tiles. By hiring a professional, you can have peace of mind that your outdoor tiles will be sealed to the highest standard, maximizing their protection and enhancing their overall aesthetic.
• Q: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor?
• A: Tile Cleaning provides assistance with moving furniture during the floor sealing process. Their team of dedicated technicians is available to help with the relocation of furniture items that can be reasonably managed by one person, such as those with wheels or lightweight furniture like tables and chairs. However, it is important to keep in mind that while Tile Cleaning takes precautions to protect your belongings, they cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the furniture moving process. To ensure the safety of valuable or fragile items, it is recommended to either relocate them to a secure area or properly secure them before the technicians arrive. By taking these necessary precautions, you can help ensure the safety of your furniture and minimize the risk of potential damage while the floor sealing process is being carried out.
• Q: What measures can I undertake to preserve the appearance of my surfaces and retain their fresh look?
• A: To preserve the fresh and new appearance of your surfaces, regular cleaning is crucial. Use a mild detergent or pH neutral cleaner to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants that can accumulate over time. Avoid using harsh detergents or cleaning agents with high acidity or alkalinity, as they can potentially damage the sealer and affect the surface's appearance. By opting for mild detergents and pH neutral substances, you can effectively clean your surfaces without compromising the integrity of the sealer and ensure that they maintain their attractive appearance for extended periods.
• Q: What are the reasons for sealing tiles?
• A: Sealing tiles and grout provides a range of benefits in terms of maintenance and preserving their appearance. Surfaces can be prone to deterioration and degradation due to factors like foot traffic, UV rays, moisture, chemicals, and impurities such as oil, grease, acids, and salt. These issues can lead to problems like cracking, pitting, scaling, spalling, delamination, dusting, discolouration, efflorescence, and salt damage. By using quality sealers like Australia's Deepshield™ deep impregnating range, you can prevent unsightly stains, discolouration, and maintain the overall look of your tiled floors for a longer period. Sealing acts as a protective barrier, enhancing the durability and longevity of the tiles and grout.
