Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the potential consequences of not sealing concrete surfaces? - Concrete | Tile and Grout Sealing

• A: Concrete is a porous material that readily absorbs liquids. In freeze-thaw climates, the expansion of frozen liquids can destroy the surface of unsealed concrete. Oil, salt, fertiliser, and other household chemicals can discolour and damage unsealed concrete.

They ensure that only non-toxic finishing agents are used, eliminating the presence of any potentially harmful substances or ingredients. Tile Cleaning takes great care in selecting cleaning products, specifically excluding any ingredients that could pose health risks.

• Q: What maintenance steps can I take to preserve the appearance of my concrete surfaces and keep them looking new?
• 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: 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: What are the potential consequences of not sealing concrete floors?
• A: Not sealing concrete floors can lead to various potential consequences. Without proper sealing, the surface of the concrete is susceptible to damage. Spills of oily or harsh substances can penetrate the pores of the concrete, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. By not sealing your concrete surfaces, you risk permanent staining and difficulty in maintaining the fresh look and feel of the floors. Sealing the concrete provides a protective barrier, preventing such staining and accidental damage in the future. It helps to preserve the appearance of the surfaces, keeping them in their best condition for a longer period and making maintenance easier and more convenient.
• 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.
