Other FAQs :
- Q: What should I expect in terms of the process when you arrive to reseal my vinyl or linoleum floors?
- A: Our professional team will guide you through each step of the job, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of the process. Firstly, any previous sealer, if present, will be stripped off. Next, the vinyl or linoleum surface will undergo a thorough cleaning and neutralization process to remove dust, residue, and any other elements that may affect the new sealer. Once the surface is dry, a fresh layer of sealer will be applied and allowed to set. As a result, your newly sealed vinyl or linoleum floors will regain their appearance, receive protection, and become easier to maintain.
- Q: Can you restore the appearance of my old and dull vinyl or linoleum floors to make them look new again?
- A: To determine if your old and dull vinyl or linoleum floors can be restored to regain a new appearance, a Tile Cleaning technician will need to conduct an inspection. The feasibility of restoration will depend on various factors, including the age of the vinyl. By carefully assessing the condition of the floors, the technician can provide a professional evaluation and determine if restoration is possible. This inspection allows for an accurate assessment of the floors' potential for revitalization, ensuring that you receive informed guidance regarding the best course of action for your specific vinyl or linoleum flooring.
- Q: What is the recommended frequency for stripping and sealing my floor?
- A: Answering this question can be challenging because it relies on various factors such as frequency of use, contact with objects like trolleys, cleaning practices (sweeping, vacuuming, mopping), and the cleaning products used. Some brooms may have abrasive bristles that can potentially damage the floor. Additionally, certain chemicals can erode the floor sealer, so it's crucial to use pH-neutral floor cleaners with proper dilution rates. Even a pH-neutral cleaner can become alkaline if not diluted correctly. The number of previous sealer coats, the quality of the sealer, and the correct sealing technique employed also play a role in determining floor durability.
- Q: How often is it recommended to reseal vinyl or lino floors?
- A: The recommended frequency for resealing vinyl or linoleum floors varies depending on factors like usage and foot traffic. Commercial floors, subject to heavy use, generally require resealing every one to two years to maintain their condition and protection. In residential settings, the frequency can range from every three to ten years, depending on the level of foot traffic and usage. Factors such as the quality of the sealer used and the application process also influence the longevity of the seal. Opting for professional sealing services ensures optimal results, extends the durability of the seal, and can potentially save time and money in the long term.
- Q: Can you remove a stain from my vinyl or linoleum floor?
- A: If the stain is new and has not fully set in, there is a high chance that we can remove it. However, it is important to note that proper maintenance, including regular stripping, cleaning, and sealing, is essential to prevent staining on your vinyl floor in the future.
