Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: How can I determine if my marble floors require sealing?
- A: Tile Cleaning recommends conducting a simple "water test" to assess whether your marble floors necessitate sealing. This widely recognized test in the stone industry involves placing a few drops of water on the stone surface and allowing it to remain for approximately 10 to 30 minutes. Subsequently, wipe the water dry. If the marble did not darken during this process, it indicates that your marble is adequately sealed and does not require further sealing. However, if the water caused darkening of the marble, it signifies that the water was able to penetrate the stone, indicating the need for sealing.
- Q: What is the drying time for marble tiles?
- A: Marble tiles typically take approximately 4 hours to become touch dry after the sealing process. However, it is recommended to allow a full 24 hours for the sealer to fully cure before placing any objects or furniture back onto the tiles. During this curing period, it is important to refrain from moving any heavy items onto the tiles or grout to prevent any potential damage.
- Q: When is the best time to seal marble floors, and what are the indicators that suggest my marble floors are in need of sealing?
- A: The best time to seal marble floors is immediately after installation to provide proactive protection against accidental staining or damage. To determine if your marble floors require sealing, look for patchy areas on the floor where the sealant may have worn off. Additionally, if you notice that the marble tiles are becoming more susceptible to staining, it indicates that the existing sealer has deteriorated, and resealing is necessary to maintain the integrity and appearance of your marble floors. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure the long-term beauty and protection of your marble floors.
- 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: Does the application of a color enhancer impact the texture of marble floors?
- A: The color enhancer applied by Tile Cleaning does not alter the texture of your marble floors. Its primary effect is to enhance the colors of your marble tiles, bringing out the inherent natural beauty of your surfaces.
