Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What is the recommended frequency for sealing sandstone floors?
- A: The frequency of sealing sandstone floors can vary depending on factors such as the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic they receive. In Australia, the Deepshield™ range of deep impregnating water-based sealers is recommended, with the Transparent Penetrating Sealer offering protection for up to 10 years. Topical sealers typically have a lifespan of around 3 years. However, high foot traffic or severe weather conditions can result in a shorter lifespan. It's also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and increased susceptibility to staining, it's a sign that resealing is needed.

- Q: What can I expect in terms of mess during the stripping process of my granite tiles? Is there a risk of damaging my walls or skirting boards?

Rest assured, we prioritize cleanliness and take every measure to safeguard your walls, skirting boards, and other areas of your home throughout the stripping process.
- Q: Efflorescence has built up on my sandstone 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 sandstone tiles or through damaged grout lines. The efflorescence can be removed but it is important the cause of the efflorescence is resoled.
- Q: How will you charge me for stripping and sealing my sandstone 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: What is the ideal timing for sealing my sandstone floors, and how can I determine if my sandstone floors currently require sealing?
- A: The optimal time to seal your sandstone tiles is right after installation to proactively protect them from potential staining and damage. To determine if your sandstone tiles currently require sealing, look out for signs such as patchy sealed areas on the floor or an increased susceptibility to staining. These indications suggest that the previous sealer may have worn off, making it necessary to reseal your sandstone tiles to maintain their appearance and safeguard them against potential stains.
