Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What measures can I take to maintain the appearance and keep my limestone tiles looking new? - Tile and Grout Cleaning | Cleaning Limestone Tiles

• A: To maintain the appearance and keep your limestone tiles looking new, Tile Cleaning recommends a regular cleaning routine. Clean the tiles each week using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent to remove dirt and grime from the surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents containing acids or alkalis, as they can potentially damage the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances for safe and effective cleaning. In addition to regular cleaning, the best protection for your limestone tiles is to have them sealed with one of Tile Cleaning highest quality sealers. Sealing provides an extra layer of protection against staining and helps preserve the beauty of your limestone tiles for longer.

Other FAQs :

• Q: What is the recommended frequency for sealing limestone floors?
• A: The frequency of sealing limestone floors depends on factors such as the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic they experience. Australia's Deepshield™ range of deep impregnating water-based sealers, including Deepshield™ Gold with a potential lifespan of up to 15 years, offers long-term benefits. On the other hand, topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, if your limestone floors endure high foot traffic or are exposed to severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), the lifespan of the sealer may be shorter. The condition of the tiles is also a factor to consider. Once you notice patchy areas and easy staining, it is an indication that resealing is necessary. For further assistance and inquiries, feel free to contact us, and our team will be happy to assist you.
• Q: What are the signs or indicators that suggest my limestone tiles are in need of restoration?
• A: When your limestone tiles start to exhibit a dull or matte appearance even after regular cleaning, it is a clear sign that they are due for professional restoration. This loss of luster can occur over time as the protective sealant wears off. Additionally, if you notice that your limestone tiles are becoming more susceptible to staining, it indicates that the previous sealer has deteriorated and immediate resealing is necessary to prevent permanent stains. By addressing these signs promptly, you can restore the natural beauty of your limestone floors and protect them from further damage.
• Q: Is it possible for Tile Cleaning to remove stains from limestone floors?
• A: If the stain on your limestone floor is relatively new and has not deeply set in, there is a good chance that Tile Cleaning will be able to remove it. However, it is important to note that complete removal of the stain cannot be guaranteed. The aim is to clean the stained area and restore it to the best possible condition. The success of stain removal also depends on whether the limestone tiles have been previously sealed or not. Some stains may have penetrated the natural stone and settled below the surface, making them more challenging to clean. To prevent future staining, it is recommended to have Tile Cleaning perform a thorough process of stripping, cleaning, and sealing your limestone floor. This comprehensive approach ensures that your limestone floors are protected from future stains and can be maintained in optimal condition.
• Q: What are the various types of limestone tiles that Tile Cleaning clean?
• A: Tile Cleaning provides cleaning services for a wide range of limestone tiles, both indoors and outdoors. This includes cleaning limestone pavers, liquid limestone, and various other types of limestone tiles. Whether you have limestone tiles in external areas, such as natural stone pavers or clay and concrete pavers, or you require cleaning for pool mosaics, floor tiles (porcelain or ceramic), bathroom limestone tiles, natural stone floors, or walls, Tile Cleaning caters to all different types of limestone tiles. No matter the specific type of limestone tile you have, Tile Cleaning has the expertise and solutions to address your cleaning needs.
• Q: What steps should I take to prepare my limestone floors for cleaning?
• A: To prepare your limestone floors for cleaning, it is recommended to move all furniture and items off the floor. This allows the cleaning process to be carried out efficiently and effectively. By removing furniture and items from the limestone floor, you create a clear space for the cleaning team to work on, ensuring that the entire surface can be properly cleaned. This preparation step helps to facilitate the cleaning process and ensures that your limestone floors receive the attention they need.
