Frequently Asked Questions
- A: To maintain the fresh and new appearance of your concrete surfaces, Tile Cleaners® recommends regular cleaning using a mild detergent. This weekly cleaning routine helps remove dirt and grime from the concrete surface, keeping it looking clean and well-maintained. It is important to note that strong detergents with high acidity or alkalinity can potentially affect the sealer applied to the concrete. Therefore, it is strongly advised to use mild detergents and pH-neutral substances when cleaning the surfaces. By following these maintenance guidelines, you can effectively preserve the pristine condition of your concrete and ensure its long-lasting beauty.

- Q: What is the optimal timing for sealing concrete, and how can I determine if my concrete surfaces require sealing at the present moment?
- A: The optimal time to seal your concrete is right after installation to provide immediate protection against staining and damage. As for determining if your concrete surfaces require sealing, there are a couple of indicators to look out for. Firstly, if you notice patchy areas on the floor where the sealant has worn off or is uneven, it is a clear sign that resealing is needed. Additionally, if your concrete is becoming more susceptible to staining and is no longer repelling liquids as effectively as before, it is a good indication that it is time to apply a fresh coat of sealer. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure that your concrete remains adequately protected and maintains its optimal appearance.
- 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.
- 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 can I expect in terms of mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles, and is there a risk of damaging walls or skirting boards?
- A: At Tile Cleaning, we take great care to minimize mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles. Our approach involves using high-quality, non-solvent-based stripping and sealing products, which are designed to ensure a clean and tidy process. These products are specifically selected to minimize the risk of damaging your floors, walls, or skirting boards. Our team of technicians is trained to handle the process with utmost care, ensuring that your surfaces are protected throughout. In most cases, non-solvent-based strippers and techniques are used, which effectively achieve excellent results without causing any harm. However, in rare circumstances where solvent-based strippers are necessary, additional precautions may be taken. This could involve temporarily vacating the premises for up to 48 hours to ensure safety and provide optimal protection. Rest assured that our experienced technicians will take all necessary measures to maintain a clean and damage-free environment during the stripping and sealing process.
- Q: What does the process of concrete strip and seal involve?
- A: Concrete strip and seal is a process that involves removing the existing coating or sealant from the concrete floor and then resealing it. Over time, concrete floors can become dull and lose their lustrous appearance, giving them an aged and unattractive look. By performing a strip and seal procedure, the old coating is stripped off, and a new sealant is applied, bringing back the beautiful and glossy appearance of the polished concrete. This process not only restores the aesthetic appeal of the floor but also eliminates the need for costly floor replacement. By opting for concrete strip and seal, you can revitalize your concrete floors and give them a fresh, new look without the expense of installing new flooring.
