Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- 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 significance of sealing marble tiles?
- A: Sealing marble tiles is crucial as it provides a protective barrier against liquid spills and dirt particles that could penetrate the natural stone. Unlike polishes, sealers are specifically designed to prevent substances from sinking into the marble. It is highly recommended to have your marble tiles sealed, especially when they are first installed, as this initial seal can last for up to 15 years. It is advised to contact us promptly after the installation of your marble floors so that we can protect them from any potential permanent damage.
- Q: What is the estimated time required to reseal my marble floors?
- A: The duration of resealing your marble floors varies depending on the size of the area being sealed. Typically, most jobs can be completed within 4 to 8 hours. To ensure convenience, we perform both the cleaning and resealing on the same day, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
- Q: What is acid etching, and what measures can I take to safeguard my marble against it?
- A: Acid etching refers to the process in which acidic substances can corrode or eat away at your marble tiles, causing damage. Protecting your marble against acid etching can be challenging as sealing alone may not provide complete defense. The most effective method to safeguard your marble tiles is to promptly seal them and clean any spills or acidic substances immediately. Since stone-based tiles, including marble, have high porosity, sealing is essential to provide protection against future acid attacks and liquid spillage. Taking these preventative measures will help preserve the integrity of your marble tiles.
- Q: Can sealing my marble floors conceal scratches and etches?
- A: The colour enhancing sealer offered by Tile Cleaners® has the potential to minimize the appearance of scratches on your marble floors, but we cannot assure that they will be completely restored to their original condition. Our Deepshield™ Penetrating Colour Enhancing Sealer can darken your marble tiles by up to 20%, effectively helping to camouflage etches and reviving the natural, fresh look of your marble floors.
