Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What can I expect in terms of the appearance of my floors after the cleaning and sealing process?
• A: If your grout (and stone, if applicable) have not been sealed previously, it is possible that certain stains, especially in high traffic areas, may be permanent. However, if your grout (and stone, if applicable) have been sealed previously, the cleaning process should have prevented the penetration of dirt and other contaminants. As a result, you can expect excellent results from the cleaning, leaving your floors looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
• Q: Which specific products are utilized in the provided services?
• A: In our services, Tile Cleaners® exclusively employs high-quality cleaners and sealers sourced from reputable industry suppliers. These products are carefully chosen to ensure their suitability and effectiveness for the specific task at hand. We prioritize using premium products to deliver optimal results in our cleaning and sealing services.
• Q: Can sealing effectively prevent efflorescence?
• A: Efflorescence is a phenomenon where salts migrate to the surface of porous materials during water evaporation, resulting in a whitish coating and potential damage to the surface finish. To effectively prevent efflorescence, it is crucial to apply a high-quality water-resistant sealer from a reputable range. However, it is important to note that efflorescence can also be influenced by factors such as water penetration. Therefore, it is essential to address any underlying causes of water penetration, such as repairing leaks or damaged grout, to effectively prevent efflorescence. By combining proper sealing with resolving the water source, proactive measures can be taken to minimize the occurrence of efflorescence and maintain the integrity of the surface.
• Q: What are the reasons for cleaning your stone surface?
• A: Cleaning your stone surface is essential because natural stone products tend to harbor dirt, residues, dust, and grime within their pores. It is crucial to thoroughly clean these pores before applying any sealant to the surface. If dirt and other contaminants are trapped beneath the stone sealer, they can eventually lead to the formation of a milky white residue between the top of the stone and the underside of the sealer. To rectify this issue, it becomes necessary to remove the stone sealer and perform a thorough cleaning process.
• Q: What measures can I undertake to preserve the appearance of my surfaces and retain their fresh look?
• A: To preserve the fresh and new appearance of your surfaces, regular cleaning is crucial. Use a mild detergent or pH neutral cleaner to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants that can accumulate over time. Avoid using harsh detergents or cleaning agents with high acidity or alkalinity, as they can potentially damage the sealer and affect the surface's appearance. By opting for mild detergents and pH neutral substances, you can effectively clean your surfaces without compromising the integrity of the sealer and ensure that they maintain their attractive appearance for extended periods.
