Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: When is the best time to seal my travertine floors and how do I know that mine need sealing now?
• A: The best time to have your travertine tiles sealed is immediately after installation to prevent any accidental staining or damage. You will know that your travertine tiles need sealing once you start noticing patchy sealed areas of the floor and/or your travertine tiles are staining easier.
• 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?
• A: When it comes to the stripping process of your granite tiles, Tile Cleaning prioritizes the use of high-quality non-solvent-based stripping and sealing products. These products are specifically designed to minimize mess and ensure the protection of your granite tiles and other surfaces in your home. With our current non-solvent-based strippers and techniques, there is no significant risk of damaging your walls or skirting boards. In rare cases, where solvent-based strippers may be required, we take extensive safety precautions and ensure that you are properly informed. If such circumstances arise, you may be required to vacate the premises for up to 48 hours to ensure your safety. 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: How often should I seal my travertine floors?
• A: It depends on the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the travertine tiles are being exposed to. Australia's Deepshield® range of deep impregnating water based sealer's, offer long term benefits with Deepshield Gold® lasting up to 15 years. Topical sealer's have a life expectancy of around 3 years. If you have a high amount of foot traffic or perhaps severe weather conditions(for outdoor tiles), you may experience a shorter lifetime. Sealing your travertine tiles can also depend on the tiles condition. Once they start showing patchy areas and are staining easily then you should have them resealed. Give us a call and we can assist you with all your enquiries.
• Q: What steps can I take to maintain the fresh appearance of my Travertine tiles?
• A: To maintain the fresh appearance of your Travertine tiles, it is advised to follow a regular cleaning routine. Tile Cleaning recommend cleaning the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent. This will effectively remove any dirt or grime from the tiled surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents that contain strong acids or alkalis, as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, mild detergents and pH neutral substances are strongly recommended. For added protection against staining, the best advice is to seal your Travertine tiles using one of our highest quality sealers. Sealing is an excellent preventive measure that safeguards your Travertine tiles and helps maintain their pristine condition.
• Q: What should I do to prepare for the Travertine cleaning?
• A: Move all furniture and items off the floor so it is ready for when we arrive.
