Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What steps should I take to prepare my slate floors for cleaning?
• A: To prepare your slate floors for cleaning, it is recommended to move all furniture and items off the floor. This allows the cleaning process to be carried out efficiently and effectively. By removing furniture and items from the slate floor, you create a clear space for the cleaning team to work on, ensuring that the entire surface can be properly cleaned. This preparation step helps to facilitate the cleaning process and ensures that your slate floors receive the attention they need.
• Q: What are the signs that indicate my slate surfaces are ready for cleaning, stripping, and resealing?
• A: When your slate surfaces start to lose their natural luster and appear dull or matte, even after regular cleaning, it's a clear sign that they are due for cleaning, stripping, and resealing. Additionally, if you notice that your slate tiles are becoming more prone to staining, it's a strong indication that the previous sealer has worn off and immediate resealing is necessary to prevent permanent staining. By addressing these signs promptly, you can maintain the beauty and longevity of your slate floors.
• Q: What are the potential risks or safety concerns associated with the process of stripping and sealing slate tiles?
• A: Yes, the slate tile cleaning services provided by Tile Cleaners® are safe. They utilize high-quality water-based products and state-of-the-art cleaning machinery to ensure the best cleaning solution without causing any harm to your slate tiles. Since stone tiles, including slate, are porous and require special care, it is essential to use the appropriate products and equipment to achieve optimal results without compromising the integrity of the tiles. Tile Cleaners® takes pride in their ability to cater to the specific needs of each tile variety, including slate, ensuring a safe and effective cleaning process.
• Q: What steps can I take to maintain the appearance and keep my slate tiles looking new?
• A: To maintain the appearance and keep your slate tiles looking new, Tile Cleaners® suggests cleaning them on a weekly basis using a mild detergent. This regular cleaning routine helps remove dirt and grime from the surface of the slate. It is important to avoid using strong detergents that contain strong acids or alkalis as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances, which are highly recommended for cleaning slate tiles and preserving the integrity of the sealer. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your slate tiles retain their fresh and attractive appearance over time.
• 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.
