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 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: What steps should I take to prepare my marble floors before the sealing process?
- A: Before our arrival, it is important to remove all furniture and items from your marble floors. This preparation ensures that the floors are clear and ready for the sealing process when we begin our work.
- 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 can I anticipate in terms of the process when you arrive to re-seal my marble floors?
- A: When our professional team arrives to re-seal your marble floors, they will provide you with a detailed explanation of the job processes. The process begins by stripping any previous sealer, if applied, followed by a thorough cleaning and neutralization of the marble surface. This ensures that the floor is free from dust, residue, and any other factors that may affect the new sealer's effectiveness. Once the marble floor is dry, a fresh layer of sealer is applied and allowed to set. The re-sealed marble floor will not only regain its new-like appearance but also benefit from enhanced protection, making it easier to maintain in the long run.
