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 recommended method for measuring the size of a concrete area for the purpose of determining the square meterage?
- A: To accurately measure the size of a concreted area, we recommend measuring each area separately. The process is straightforward: multiply the width of the area by its length. For example, if you have a room that is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the total square meterage would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in 6 square meters in total. By measuring each concreted area individually using this method, you can ensure accurate calculations of square meterage for pricing and other purposes.
- Q: What are the reasons for considering the stripping of concrete floors?
- A: Stripping concrete floors is essential if you desire the cleanest and most visually appealing results. By entrusting the task to professionals, they can effectively remove as much of the old sealer as possible. This initial step paves the way for a thorough cleaning process before applying a new sealer. The end result is a fresh and immaculate polished concrete floor that showcases its natural beauty to the fullest extent. With professional stripping, cleaning, and sealing, your concrete floors can achieve their optimal appearance and maintain their pristine condition.
- 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 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: Is it possible to apply penetrating concrete sealers over existing topical sealers?
- A: No, it is not possible to apply penetrating concrete sealers over existing topical sealers. Topical sealers create a membrane or film on the surface of the concrete, forming a barrier that prevents the penetrating sealers from effectively absorbing into the concrete. Therefore, before applying a penetrating sealer, it is necessary to remove any existing topical sealer to ensure proper penetration and adhesion of the new sealer. This preparation step ensures that the penetrating sealer can effectively provide the desired protection and enhance the durability of the concrete surface.
