Frequently Asked Questions
- A: Efflorescence is a problem that quarry tiles and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the tiles to bring salts from the material to the surface as it evaporates. The water evaporates leaving the salts on the surface resulting in a whitish coating and ruining its finish. The only way to avoid this problem is to seal your quarry tiles with one of our highest quality water resistant sealer's and to stop the source of the water that is penetrating the tiles, for example a water pipe leak or damaged grout.

Other FAQs :
- Q: What happens if I do not seal my quarry tile floors?
- A: Quarry tile floors can damage easily, any oily or harsh spills can damage the quarry tiles and penetrate the pores leaving a permanent stain, unreachable by domestic cleaning methods. We strongly recommend sealing you quarry tiles to keep their fresh look and feel, to protect them against permanent staining and to prevent any future accidental damage. They will look their very best for longer and will be easier and more convenient to maintain.
- Q: How will you charge me for stripping and sealing my quarry tiles?
- A: Tile Cleaners® charge per square meter for each separate room. There is a price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for you to review. Before we begin our work we will measure each room individually, confirm the work to be carried out as well as confirm all costs with you.
- Q: Efflorescence has built up on my quarry tiles. Can you remove it?
- A: Yes we can. Efflorescence is a build up of salts and can be removed with efflorescence removers and other specialised cleaning techniques. Efflorescence is typically caused by a leakage behind the quarry tiles or through damaged grout lines. The efflorescence can be removed but it is important the cause of the efflorescence is resoled.
- Q: When is the best time to seal my quarry tile floors and how do I know that mine need sealing now?
- A: The best time to have your quarry tiles sealed is immediately after installation to prevent any accidental staining or damage. You will know that your quarry tiles need sealing once you start noticing patchy sealed areas of the floor and/or your quarry tiles are staining easier.
- Q: What should I do to prepare for the quarry cleaning?
- A: Move all furniture and items off the floor so it is ready for when we arrive.
