Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor? - Slate | Tile and Grout Sealing

• 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.

Other FAQs :

• Q: Which sealer is considered the most suitable for sealing the slate around my pool?
• A: When it comes to sealing slate around swimming pools, our top recommendation is our high-quality Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer. This particular sealer is designed to provide comprehensive protection to your slate, penetrating deep into the stone for maximum effectiveness. One notable advantage of this sealer is its ability to eliminate the slipperiness that can be associated with other sealers used on slate surfaces. By choosing our Impregnating Penetrating Water Based Sealer, you can ensure that your slate around the pool area is well-protected and maintains its desired level of traction.
• Q: What steps can I take to maintain the new appearance of my sealed slate tiles?
• A: To maintain the new and pristine appearance of your sealed slate tiles, it is advisable to follow a few important steps. Tile Cleaners® suggests cleaning the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a mild detergent. This gentle cleaning solution will effectively remove any accumulated dirt or grime from the slate surface. It is crucial to avoid using strong detergents that are either highly acidic or alkaline, as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances, as they are highly recommended for maintaining the integrity of the sealer. Furthermore, the best course of action to protect your slate tiles is to seal them with one of our highest quality sealers. This sealing process provides optimal protection against staining and enhances the longevity of your slate tiles' pristine appearance.
• Q: Do you offer color enhancing services for travertine? If yes, could you provide an explanation of the process involved in color enhancement?
• A: Absolutely, we provide color enhancing services specifically designed for travertine. The color enhancement process involves the application of a specialized compound that enriches and intensifies the natural appearance of the travertine. By applying the color enhancer, the tiles' tones and hues are deepened, bringing out the inherent beauty of the travertine material. This treatment imparts a subtle wet or low sheen finish, enhancing the overall visual appeal of your travertine surfaces. Our color enhancing services are aimed at highlighting the unique characteristics and enhancing the aesthetics of your travertine.
• Q: What is the appropriate method for measuring the size of the slate area that requires sealing?
• A: To accurately measure the area of slate that requires sealing, we suggest measuring each slate area separately. The most straightforward method is to multiply the width by the length of each area. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 X 2 = 6m². By measuring each slate area individually using this method, you can determine the precise measurement needed for the sealing service.
• Q: What is the estimated drying time for slate tiles?
• A: Following the application of the sealer, you can anticipate that the slate tiles will be touch dry within approximately 4 hours. However, it is essential to allow a full 24 hours for the sealer to completely cure. This is the recommended timeframe for ensuring optimal effectiveness. During this curing period, it is important to refrain from placing any heavy or hard objects, including furniture, on the tiles and grout. It is advisable to wait at least 24 hours before moving or placing any items back onto the treated surface to avoid compromising the sealer's integrity.
