- 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: What does acid etching involve, and what measures can I take to safeguard my slate against it?
- A: Acid etching refers to the corrosive damage caused to slate tiles by acidic substances, which can easily eat away or corrode the surface. Protecting slate against acid attack can be challenging due to its difficulty in sealing against such damage. To safeguard your slate tiles from acid etching, it is essential to promptly seal them and clean up any spills immediately. Given the high porosity of stone-based tiles like slate, sealing becomes crucial to provide protection against future acid attacks and liquid spillage. By adopting these measures, you can effectively minimize the risk of acid etching and preserve the integrity and appearance of your slate tiles.
- Q: What is the significance of having my slate tiles sealed?
- A: Having your slate tiles sealed is of utmost importance. Unlike polishes, sealers are specifically formulated to prevent liquids and dirt particles from penetrating the natural stone. It is highly recommended to seal all slate tiles right after they are installed. This initial seal, when applied with a high-quality sealer, can provide protection for up to 15 years. To ensure the longevity and durability of your slate floors, it is essential to contact us promptly after the installation so that we can apply the necessary sealant and safeguard them against any accidental permanent damage.
