Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: When is the optimal time to seal my terracotta floors, and how can I determine if they currently require sealing?
• A: The ideal time to seal your terracotta floors is right after their installation to proactively protect against accidental staining or damage. You can determine if your terracotta tiles need sealing by observing patchy sealed areas on the floor or noticing that the tiles are becoming more susceptible to staining. These signs indicate that resealing is necessary to maintain the integrity and appearance of your terracotta floors.
• Q: Do the products used by Tile Cleaning contain any toxic ingredients?
• A: Tile Cleaning places a strong emphasis on the safety of your family during the cleaning process. They ensure that only non-toxic finishing agents are used, eliminating the presence of any potentially harmful substances or ingredients. Tile Cleaning takes great care in selecting cleaning products, specifically excluding any ingredients that could pose health risks. This commitment to safety not only helps preserve the condition of your stone tiles but also reflects Tile Cleaning's dedication to prioritizing the overall health and safety of your household. By choosing Tile Cleaning, you can have peace of mind knowing that the products used in the cleaning process are free from toxic ingredients.
• Q: What does a terracotta tile strip and seal process involve?
• A: A terracotta tile strip and seal process involves removing the existing coating or sealer from terracotta floors and applying a new sealer to restore their appearance. Over time, terracotta flooring can become dull and lose its natural beauty. By stripping off the old coating and resealing the tiles, the original lustrous look of the terracotta can be rejuvenated. This process not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the flooring but also helps to protect it and extend its lifespan, saving you the expense of replacing the entire floor.
• Q: What measures can I take to maintain the fresh appearance of my terracotta tiles?
• A: To maintain the pristine appearance of your terracotta tiles and grout, Tile Cleaning suggest cleaning them on a weekly basis using a gentle detergent. This will effectively eliminate any accumulated dirt or grime from the terracotta surface. It is important to avoid using harsh detergents containing strong acids or alkalis, as they may negatively impact the sealer. Instead, we highly recommend opting for mild detergents and pH neutral substances for optimal results.
• Q: What is the suggested approach for measuring the dimensions of a terracotta area?
• A: When measuring a terracotta area, it is recommended to measure each section individually. The simplest approach is to multiply the width of the area by its length. For example, if a room has dimensions of 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area can be determined by multiplying 3 by 2, resulting in 6 square meters.
