Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: Can Tile Cleaners remove efflorescence buildup from concrete surfaces?
• A: Certainly! Tile Cleaners has the expertise to remove efflorescence from concrete surfaces. Efflorescence, which is the buildup of salts, can be effectively treated using specialized cleaning techniques and efflorescence removers. It is crucial to address the underlying cause of efflorescence, which is often a leak behind the concrete or damaged grout lines. While efflorescence can be removed, it is essential to resolve the root cause to prevent its recurrence. By engaging professional services, you can have the efflorescence removed and ensure that steps are taken to rectify the underlying issue, helping to restore the appearance of your concrete surfaces.
• Q: What are the reasons for considering the stripping of concrete floors?
• A: Stripping concrete floors is essential if you desire the cleanest and most visually appealing results. By entrusting the task to professionals, they can effectively remove as much of the old sealer as possible. This initial step paves the way for a thorough cleaning process before applying a new sealer. The end result is a fresh and immaculate polished concrete floor that showcases its natural beauty to the fullest extent. With professional stripping, cleaning, and sealing, your concrete floors can achieve their optimal appearance and maintain their pristine condition.
• Q: What are the recommended preparations I should undertake before the concrete sealing process?
• A: To prepare for the concrete sealing process, it is recommended to remove all furniture and items from the floor area. By ensuring that the floor is clear and free of any obstacles, it allows the Tile Cleaning team to access the entire surface easily and carry out the sealing process efficiently. Removing furniture and items beforehand also helps to protect them from any potential damage during the sealing process. By following this simple preparation step, you can help ensure a smooth and effective concrete sealing experience.
• Q: What are the potential consequences if concrete floors are not sealed?
• A: If concrete floors are not sealed, they are more susceptible to damage. Spills of oily or harsh substances can easily penetrate the surface and leave permanent stains that are difficult to remove using regular cleaning methods. We strongly advise sealing your concrete surfaces to maintain their fresh appearance, provide protection against permanent staining, and prevent potential accidental damage. By sealing your concrete floors, they will retain their optimal condition for a longer period and will be easier to clean and maintain, offering convenience and peace of mind.
• Q: What are the indicators that suggest it is time to clean, strip, and reseal polished concrete surfaces?
• A: You will know it's time to have your concrete floors stripped, cleaned and sealed once they begin to appear dull or "matte" even after you have given them an efficient regular clean. If you notice that your concrete surfaces are staining easily, it's a good indication that your previous sealer is wearing off and your concrete floors will need to be resealed immediately to prevent permanent staining.
