Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: How will you charge me for stripping and sealing my marble 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 floor stripping?
- A: The process of stripping a floor is to ensure that all necessary old and worn sealer is removed; once removed your marble tiles can be resealed.
- Q: What steps should I take to prepare for marble cleaning?
- A: To prepare for marble cleaning, it is recommended to remove all furniture and items from the floor area. This ensures that the space is clear and ready for the cleaning process when the technicians arrive. By removing furniture and other objects, you provide unobstructed access to the marble surface, allowing for a thorough and efficient cleaning.
- Q: How often should marble floors be sealed according to the recommended frequency?
- A: The recommended frequency for sealing marble floors depends on various factors, including the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic the tiles experience. In Australia, the Deepshield® range offers deep impregnating water-based sealers, with Deepshield Gold® specifically designed for denser materials like marble and granite, providing protection for up to 15 years. Topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, if your marble floors endure heavy foot traffic or are exposed to severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), the lifespan of the sealer may be shorter. It is also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and an increased susceptibility to staining, it may indicate that resealing is necessary. For further inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact our team, who will be delighted to assist you.
- Q: Will sealing my marble prevent efflorescence?
- A: Efflorescence is a problem that marble and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the marble to bring salts from the stone 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 marble 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.
