Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What is the optimal timing for sealing concrete, and how can I determine if my concrete surfaces require sealing at the present moment?
• A: The optimal time to seal your concrete is right after installation to provide immediate protection against staining and damage. As for determining if your concrete surfaces require sealing, there are a couple of indicators to look out for. Firstly, if you notice patchy areas on the floor where the sealant has worn off or is uneven, it is a clear sign that resealing is needed. Additionally, if your concrete is becoming more susceptible to staining and is no longer repelling liquids as effectively as before, it is a good indication that it is time to apply a fresh coat of sealer. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure that your concrete remains adequately protected and maintains its optimal appearance.
• Q: What are the recommended preparations I should undertake before the concrete sealing process?
• A: To prepare for the concrete sealing process, it is recommended to remove all furniture and items from the floor area. By ensuring that the floor is clear and free of any obstacles, it allows the Tile Cleaning team to access the entire surface easily and carry out the sealing process efficiently. Removing furniture and items beforehand also helps to protect them from any potential damage during the sealing process. By following this simple preparation step, you can help ensure a smooth and effective concrete sealing experience.
• 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 is the recommended frequency for sealing polished concrete floors?
• A: The recommended frequency for sealing polished concrete floors depends on factors such as the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the floors are exposed to. Australia's Deepshield™ range of deep impregnating water-based sealers, for instance, offers long-term benefits, with Deepshield™ Gold providing protection for up to 15 years. On the other hand, topical sealers typically have a lifespan of around 3 years. However, it is important to note that high foot traffic or severe weather conditions, especially for outdoor concrete, can potentially shorten the lifespan of the sealer. Additionally, the condition of the surface plays a role in determining when resealing is necessary. If you notice patchy areas or the floors are staining easily, it may be a sign that resealing is needed. Feel free to contact us for further assistance and any inquiries you may have regarding sealing your polished concrete floors.
• Q: Do the products used by Tile Cleaning contain any toxic ingredients?
• A: Tile Cleaning places a strong emphasis on the safety of your family during the cleaning process. 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.

By choosing Tile Cleaning, you can have peace of mind knowing that the products used in the cleaning process are free from toxic ingredients.
