Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What type of guarantee is provided with stone sealing services?
- A: Stone and grout sealing services do not typically come with guarantees. However, our Impregnating Water Based Sealers have a life expectancy of up to 10 years, which can vary based on factors such as the quality of the stone, level of foot traffic, and maintenance procedures implemented. It is important to understand that a sealer does not provide complete imperviousness to stains. Rather, it offers a reaction time to address spills. An unsealed floor can immediately stain, whereas a sealed floor is resistant to staining and provides a reaction time of up to 4-5 hours. A penetrating sealer sits just beneath the stone's surface, preventing spills from penetrating and causing staining. However, it cannot prevent etching or surface damage caused by acid-based spills like red wine, vinegar, urine, or fruit juice. Immediate cleaning of such spills is crucial to prevent permanent damage to the stone surface.
- Q: What are the reasons for cleaning your stone surface?
- A: Cleaning your stone surface is essential because natural stone products tend to harbor dirt, residues, dust, and grime within their pores. It is crucial to thoroughly clean these pores before applying any sealant to the surface. If dirt and other contaminants are trapped beneath the stone sealer, they can eventually lead to the formation of a milky white residue between the top of the stone and the underside of the sealer. To rectify this issue, it becomes necessary to remove the stone sealer and perform a thorough cleaning process.
- Q: Which specific products are utilized in the provided services?
- A: In our services, Tile Cleaners® exclusively employs high-quality cleaners and sealers sourced from reputable industry suppliers. These products are carefully chosen to ensure their suitability and effectiveness for the specific task at hand. We prioritize using premium products to deliver optimal results in our cleaning and sealing services.
- Q: How many coats of sealer are typically applied to stone surfaces?
- A: The number of coats applied to your stone surfaces usually ranges from 2 to 4, depending on several factors, including the desired finish.
- Q: What is the ideal timing for sealing my stone, and how can I determine if my stone requires sealing at present?
- A: It is highly recommended to seal your stone or grout immediately after installation to minimize the risk of accidental staining or damage. As for determining if your stone requires sealing at present, you can observe the presence of patchy sealed areas on the floor or an increased susceptibility to staining on the tiles. These signs indicate that resealing may be necessary to maintain the protection and appearance of your stone surfaces.
