Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: Are the cleaning and sealing products used by Tile Cleaners® considered toxic?
- A: At Tile Cleaning, we prioritize the safety of your family. We make a conscious choice to use non-toxic finishing agents during our cleaning and sealing processes. Our aim is not only to protect and enhance your granite floors but also to prioritize the health and well-being of your family. We do not include materials or agents in our product portfolio that pose potential health hazards, and we have never incorporated such substances in our practices.
- Q: What is the usual lifespan of the sealer before it requires reapplication?
- A: The lifespan of a sealer before reapplication is influenced by the type of sealer used. Topical sealers typically provide protection for approximately 3 years before requiring reapplication. In contrast, impregnating sealers are more durable and can last up to 15 years or even a lifetime when applied to vertical surfaces. However, areas with high foot traffic or frequent use may necessitate more frequent inspections and resealing to ensure ongoing protection. Conducting a water absorption test can help assess the porosity of the surface and aid in selecting a sealer with longer-lasting durability. It is advisable to refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer and consult professionals to determine the specific reapplication schedule suitable for your tiles and grout.
- Q: What is the purpose or benefit of stripping granite surfaces?
- A: The purpose of stripping granite surfaces is to ensure that they are thoroughly cleaned and to remove as much of the old sealer as possible. By doing so, you can achieve the cleanest and most visually appealing results for your granite floors. After the stripping process, the cleaning procedure is carried out, followed by the application of a new sealer. This comprehensive process guarantees that your granite floors will appear fresh, clean, and rejuvenated once our professional team completes the job.
- Q: What are the indicators that suggest my granite floors require sealing?
- A: To determine if your granite floors require sealing, there are a few key signs to observe. If your granite floors start to appear dull or lose their shine, even after regular cleaning, it may indicate the need for stripping, cleaning, and resealing. Additionally, if you notice that your granite tiles are becoming easily stained, it suggests that the previous sealer has worn off, necessitating immediate resealing to prevent permanent staining. Monitoring these visual cues and taking prompt action can help maintain the quality and longevity of your granite floors.
- Q: What can I anticipate in terms of the process when you arrive to seal my granite floors?
- A: When our professional team arrives to seal your granite floors, they will provide a detailed explanation of the job processes, ensuring complete transparency. The process begins with stripping any previous sealer, if present, followed by a thorough cleaning and neutralization of the granite surface. This step is crucial to remove dust, residue, and any other substances that could impact the effectiveness of the new sealer. Subsequently, a fresh sealer is applied to the dry granite and allowed to set. The outcome of this process is revitalized granite that not only looks new but also gains enhanced protection. Additionally, the sealed granite surfaces become easier to maintain, contributing to their long-term durability and appearance.
