Frequently Asked Questions
- A: If you want your stone to be its cleanest and looking its very best you need to have a professional remove as much of the old sealer as possible. Once this is done the cleaning process will be carried out and the new sealer applied. You will have the freshest and cleanest possible stone surfaces once we are finished with the process.

Other FAQs :
- Q: How often should tiles be fully resealed?
- A: The recommended frequency for fully resealing tiles can vary depending on factors such as the type and quality of the sealer used and the expected lifespan of the sealer. It is advised to regularly assess the condition of the tiles and evaluate the effectiveness of the existing sealer. If there are visible signs of wear, staining, or diminished protection, it may be necessary to undertake a complete resealing process. The specific timing for resealing will depend on these factors, and it is important to consistently monitor the tile's condition and consult the manufacturer's guidelines or sealer recommendations to determine the appropriate intervals for full resealing.
- Q: What happens if I do not seal my stone?
- A: Many types of flooring can damage fairly easily, any oily or harsh spills can damage the surface and penetrate the pores leaving a permanent stain, unreachable by domestic cleaning methods. We strongly recommend sealing your surfaces to maintain their fresh look and feel, to protect against permanent staining and to prevent any future accidental damage. Your surfaces will look their very best for longer and will be easier and more convenient to maintain.
- Q: How should I clean my sealed stone surface?
- A: The best way to keep stone surfaces in good condition is to use a ph neutral cleaner followed by clean water for spills, otherwise a microfibre mop will get rid of dust.
- Q: Which type of sealer is recommended for stone surfaces?
- A: The appropriate type of sealer for your stone surfaces depends on the specific type of stone you have and its intended use. Different types of stones have varying porosity levels and characteristics, which may require different types of sealers to achieve optimal results. It is recommended to consult with a professional or refer to the manufacturer's guidelines to determine the most suitable sealer for your specific stone and intended application.
- Q: How often should I seal my stone?
- A: It depends on the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the stone is being exposed to. Australia's Deepshield™ range of deep impregnating water based sealer's offer long term benefits with Deepshield™ Gold lasting up to 15 years. Topical sealer's have a life expectancy of around 3 years. If you have a high amount of foot traffic or perhaps severe weather conditions you may experience a shorter lifetime. Sealing your stone can also depend on the surfaces condition. Once stone starts showing patchy areas and is staining easily then you should have it resealed.
