Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does sealing my stone make it maintenance-free or eliminate the need for regular stone maintenance? - Tile Cleaners

• A: While nothing can be completely maintenance-free, sealing your stone surface can make it easier to clean and more resistant to staining. The sealing process creates a protective barrier that allows contaminants to sit on the surface for a longer time, giving you more opportunity to clean them up before they cause staining. Unsealed stone surfaces are more susceptible to immediate staining. It's important to understand that no stone sealing product can make a porous surface completely stain-proof, but it can significantly enhance its stain resistance. Additionally, using appropriate stone cleaning products plays a crucial role in maintaining the longevity and appearance of your stone.

Other FAQs :

• Q: How will the charges for cleaning my stone tiles be determined?
• A: Our pricing for cleaning stone tiles is based on a per square meter rate for each individual room. To provide transparency, we have a detailed price list available on our website for you to review. To ensure a smooth and efficient process, we kindly request that you measure each room individually before our arrival. This helps facilitate a fast and straightforward billing process at the end of the service, benefiting both parties involved.
• Q: How can I accurately measure the size of the stone area?
• A: To obtain an accurate measurement of the stone area, we suggest measuring each room individually. Simply multiply the width by the length of the room. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the calculation would be 3 * 2 = 6m² in total.
• 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: Can Tile Cleaners assist with moving my furniture?
• A: Tile Cleaners® does not provide assistance with moving large furniture due to insurance limitations. However, we are more than willing to assist you in moving smaller items as needed.
• Q: What measures can I take to maintain the fresh appearance of my stone tiles?
• A: To maintain the fresh appearance of your stone tiles and grout, Tile Cleaners® suggests a weekly cleaning routine using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent. This helps remove dirt and grime from the tiled surface. It's important to avoid using strong detergents that may affect the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances. For optimal protection against staining, our top recommendation is to have your stone tiles sealed with one of our highest quality sealers. Sealing provides the best safeguard for your stone tiles.
