Frequently Asked Questions
- A: No, honing produces the opposite effect to having your floors polished. Honing will result in a smooth, matte, non reflective finish and will only appear shiny, or glossy where the honing process is followed by a polishing process.

Other FAQs :
- Q: Can honing result in my surfaces becoming slippery?
- A: Honing can provide a degree of slip resistance to your surfaces. Polished surfaces are often slippery when wet and honing is an excellent way to create an extra degree of safety. Please call one of our knowledgeable customer service for more advice regarding your surface.
- Q: How long will it take to hone my travertine surfaces?
- A: This will depend on the size of the area; larger jobs can require up to 3 days while honing a bench-top can take up to half a day. Tile Cleaners® do try to ensure work is completed within the same day to avoid as much disruption to your home or business as possible.
- Q: What is the difference between your honing service and polishing service?
- A: Honing and polishing produce fairly opposite results. Polishing produces a glossy finish while honing produces a more matte finish. Honed surfaces can hide some imperfections such as scratches, and some everyday dirt, whereas polishing will reflect light and imperfections more than a honed surface.
- Q: What should I do to prepare for the surface honing?
- A: Move all furniture and items off the floor so it is ready for when we arrive.
- Q: Can honing damage my travertine?
- A: Tile Cleaners® technicians use the highest quality machinery providing the best solutions without compromising your surfaces. Tile Cleaners® prides itself on specifically catering for each tile variety and each situation with the highest degree of care. Stone based tiles are usually more porous requiring more attention than man made tiles, which is why its extremely important to use correct products and equipment to restore your tiles to their best possible condition.
