Frequently Asked Questions
- A: You will know it's time to have your stone stripped, cleaned and sealed once it begins to appear dull or "matte" even after you have given it an efficient regular clean. If you notice that your surfaces are staining easily, it's a good indication that your previous sealer is wearing off and your stone will need to be resealed immediately to prevent permanent staining.

Other FAQs :
- Q: Can all types of stone be sealed?
- A: If your stone is natural stone (slate, marble, granite, travertine, sandstone etc.) then it will need to be sealed. Stone is naturally porous and will absorb spills and stain easily.
- Q: Which type of sealer is recommended for stone surfaces?
- A: The appropriate type of sealer for your stone surfaces depends on the specific type of stone you have and its intended use. Different types of stones have varying porosity levels and characteristics, which may require different types of sealers to achieve optimal results. It is recommended to consult with a professional or refer to the manufacturer's guidelines to determine the most suitable sealer for your specific stone and intended application.
- Q: How often should tiles be fully resealed?
- A: The recommended frequency for fully resealing tiles can vary depending on factors such as the type and quality of the sealer used and the expected lifespan of the sealer. It is advised to regularly assess the condition of the tiles and evaluate the effectiveness of the existing sealer. If there are visible signs of wear, staining, or diminished protection, it may be necessary to undertake a complete resealing process. The specific timing for resealing will depend on these factors, and it is important to consistently monitor the tile's condition and consult the manufacturer's guidelines or sealer recommendations to determine the appropriate intervals for full resealing.
- Q: What can I expect in terms of mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles, and is there a risk of damaging walls or skirting boards?
- A: At Tile Cleaning, we take great care to minimize mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles. Our approach involves using high-quality, non-solvent-based stripping and sealing products, which are designed to ensure a clean and tidy process. These products are specifically selected to minimize the risk of damaging your floors, walls, or skirting boards. Our team of technicians is trained to handle the process with utmost care, ensuring that your surfaces are protected throughout. In most cases, non-solvent-based strippers and techniques are used, which effectively achieve excellent results without causing any harm. However, in rare circumstances where solvent-based strippers are necessary, additional precautions may be taken. This could involve temporarily vacating the premises for up to 48 hours to ensure safety and provide optimal protection. Rest assured that our experienced technicians will take all necessary measures to maintain a clean and damage-free environment during the stripping and sealing process.
- Q: How should I clean my sealed stone surface?
- A: The best way to keep stone surfaces in good condition is to use a ph neutral cleaner followed by clean water for spills, otherwise a microfibre mop will get rid of dust.
