Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What can I do to keep my bluestone tiles looking new after sealing them? - Tile and Grout Sealing | Sealing Bluestone Tiles

• A: To keep your bluestone tiles and grout looking new, Tile Cleaners® recommend cleaning each week with a mild detergent to remove any dirt or grime from the bluestone surface. Strong detergents(strong acid or alkali) may affect the sealer, mild detergents and pH neutral substances are strongly recommended. Our best advice to protect your bluestone tiles is to seal them with one of our highest quality sealers. This is the best protection your bluestone tiles can receive against staining.

Other FAQs :

• Q: What is acid etching and how can I protect my bluestone against it?
• A: Any acidic substance is harmful for your bluestone tiles, they can be etched(eaten/corroded) easily and sealing against acid attack is very difficult. The best way to protect your bluestone tiles from acid attack is to seal and clean spills immediately. The high porosity of stone based tiles makes sealing a must in order to provide protection against future acid attack and liquid spillage.
• Q: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor?
• A: Tile Cleaning provides assistance with moving furniture during the floor sealing process. Their team of dedicated technicians is available to help with the relocation of furniture items that can be reasonably managed by one person, such as those with wheels or lightweight furniture like tables and chairs. However, it is important to keep in mind that while Tile Cleaning takes precautions to protect your belongings, they cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the furniture moving process. To ensure the safety of valuable or fragile items, it is recommended to either relocate them to a secure area or properly secure them before the technicians arrive. By taking these necessary precautions, you can help ensure the safety of your furniture and minimize the risk of potential damage while the floor sealing process is being carried out.
• Q: Are there different types of sealer for bluestone tiles?
• A: Yes, here at Tile Cleaners® we provide a variety of top quality sealers to seal your bluestone tiles, whether you choose to use an Impregnating Sealer or a Topical Sealer for your bluestone tiles depending on your needs.
• Q: What does the term "sealer" refer to?
• A: When we talk about a "sealer," we are referring to a liquid or carrier that contains a resin. This substance is applied to porous surfaces, whether they are natural stone or man-made materials. The primary function of a sealer is to provide protection against staining caused by water and/or oil-based materials. By applying the sealer, you can prevent these substances from penetrating and staining the surface. Additionally, a sealer can enhance the overall cleaning results by making it easier to clean and maintain the surfaces effectively.
• Q: What is the process I can expect when you come to seal my bluestone floors?
• A: Our professional team will go through the job processes with you step by step so you know exactly what you're getting. The process includes stripping any previous sealer if it was applied, the bluestone is then thoroughly cleaned and neutralised so that it is free of dust, residue and anything else that can affect the new sealer. A new sealer is applied to the dry bluestone floor and allowed to set. The newly sealed bluestone floor will not only look new again, it will be protected and result in your bluestone becoming easier to maintain.
