Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What maintenance steps can I take to preserve the appearance of my concrete surfaces and keep them looking new? - Polishing Natural Stone | Polishing Concrete Floors

• 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.

Other FAQs :

• 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: Do you apply sealer to the floor?
• A: Polished concrete on its own is quite stain resistant, but many solutions can seep into the pores to create a stain, or even etch the floor. A sealer will line the pores to keep most stains suspended at the surface of the concrete, not allowing the stain to penetrate the floor and further preventing the likelihood of staining.
• Q: What is the estimated time required to polish concrete?
• A: The duration required to complete concrete polishing varies depending on the size of the area. For larger projects, such as expansive floors, it may take up to three days to complete the polishing process. On the other hand, polishing a smaller surface like a bench-top can typically be finished within half a day. Professional services like Tile Cleaners® strive to minimize disruptions by aiming to complete the work within the same day, ensuring your home or business experiences as little interruption as possible.
• Q: Is polished concrete good for the environment?
• A: Polished concrete is one of the most sustainable flooring options today. Polishing the structural slab of a building, instead of harvesting resources to cover it, prevents waste and is extremely long lasting.
• Q: Is coloured concrete and/or coloured aggregates available?
• A: When laying a new slab, a wide range of coloured concretes and coloured aggregates are available for you to choose from.
