Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: Is it safe to have sandstone tiles stripped and sealed?
• A: Yes, our tile cleaning services are safe! Tile Cleaners® generally use only the highest quality water based products alongside our state of the art cleaning machinery to provide the best cleaning solution without compromising your sandstone tiles. Stone tiles are porous and require more attention than man made tiles, which is why its extremely important to use the correct products and equipment necessary to bring your sandstone tiles back to their best possible condition. Tile Cleaners® prides itself on specifically catering for each tile variety.
• Q: Will sealing my sandstone prevent efflorescence?
• A: Efflorescence is a problem that sandstone and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the sandstone 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 sandstone 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.
• Q: How can I determine when it is time to clean, strip, and reseal my sandstone floors?
• A: You'll know it's time to strip, clean, and seal your sandstone floors when they start to lose their shine and appear dull, even after regular cleaning. Additionally, if you notice that your sandstone tiles are becoming more prone to staining, it's a clear sign that the previous sealer has worn off, and it's important to reseal the sandstone promptly to avoid permanent stains.
• Q: What is a sandstone tiles strip and seal?
• A: Sandstone tiles stripping and sealing is simply the process of stripping the coating off the sandstone floor before resealing it. Sandstone flooring can look dull and lifeless over time, making it look older and really bringing down the feel of the home. By stripping and resealing, you can bring back the beautiful, lustrous appearance of your sandstone and eliminate the cost of laying new flooring.
• Q: What should I do to prepare for the sandstone cleaning?
• A: Move all furniture and items off the floor so it is ready for when we arrive.
