Testimonials

I have several different freshly laid tiles in my new house. All pathways have stone tiles and there are marble tiles in the bathrooms and porcelain in the kitchen. I needed to get them sealed and was not sure if it was possible to seal them all. I contacted Tile Cleaners because my dad recommended them. He had a similar situation in his house and was very happy with the job Tile Cleaners had done. I was very worried about my tiles since they were brand new and very expensive. Tile Cleaners team were very patient with me, explaining how they were going to apply the sealer on different types of tiles, what sealer they would use, how long it would last for and advised me on how to take care of my tiles. I called Tile Cleaners a few times confirming details, asking for prices, making sure they could to the job during the weekend etc. The guys were amazingly patient and helpful. When I had gathered all the information I wanted, I was ready to go ahead. The work done by Tile Cleaners actually took less time than what it took me looking for information about it. Sorry for the pain I caused, and again thank you.

My mother's tiles were old and ugly, as she has been living in the same house her entire life without ever really taking care of her tiles. I called Tile Cleaners to get advice on what to do with them. They came to her house the next day to have a look at my mum's tiles. I am very satisfied with how patient and highly professional you were with my mother. I am sorry I couldn't be there when you arrived, and I am really impressed by how you managed to explain everything to my mom and help her out. Thank you for doing a great job.

I was about to sell my house, but was not happy with the tiles in the dining area. The tiles were white and shiny but the grout looked really dark and dirty. I already had a potential client; however the dark grout ruined the beauty of the room. I didn't have much time to fix the grout and decided to call Tile Cleaners as my real estate agency mentioned them. As my real estate agent said, Tile cleaners responded really quickly. They also pointed out that some of the grout was coming off in the hallway when they were there, which I had not even noticed. Thank you for fixing my problem so quickly. The house is sold now and I left your details with the new owner so they can keep the tiles in good condition.

If you want your slate floors to be their cleanest and looking their 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 sealer applied. You will have the freshest and cleanest possible slate floors once we are finished with the process.

Slate tiles stripping and sealing is simply the process of stripping the coating off the slate floor before resealing it. Slate flooring can look dull and lifeless over time, making it look older and really bringing down the feel of the home. By stripping and resealing, you can bring back the beautiful, lustrous appearance of your slate and eliminate the cost of laying new flooring.

When Tile Cleaning arrive to reseal your slate floors, you can expect a professional team that will guide you through the entire process, ensuring transparency and clarity. The process begins with the removal of any previous sealer, if applied, followed by a thorough cleaning and neutralization of the slate to eliminate dust, residue, and any other substances that could impact the new sealer's effectiveness. Once the slate floor is dry, a new sealer will be carefully applied and allowed to set. This resealing process will not only rejuvenate the appearance of your slate floor, making it look new again, but it will also provide protection and make maintenance easier in the long run. Rest assured that Tile Cleaning follows a systematic approach to deliver quality results and ensure your satisfaction.

The frequency of sealing slate floors depends on several factors such as the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the tiles are subjected to. Australia's Deepshield™ range of deep impregnating water-based sealers, for example, offers long-term benefits, with Deepshield™ Gold having a potential lifespan of up to 15 years. On the other hand, topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, the actual lifespan can vary based on factors like high foot traffic or severe weather conditions for outdoor tiles. It's important to assess the condition of your slate tiles as well. If you notice patchy areas or they are staining easily, it may indicate the need for resealing. For specific inquiries and assistance, feel free to contact us, and our team will be happy to help.

Slate floors can damage easily, any oily or harsh spills can damage the slate tiles and penetrate the pores leaving a permanent stain, unreachable by domestic cleaning methods. We strongly recommend sealing you slate tiles to keep their natural look and feel, to protect them against permanent staining and to prevent any future accidental damage. They will look their very best for longer and will be easier and more convenient to maintain.

The ideal time to seal slate floors is right after installation to provide immediate protection against accidental staining or damage. As for determining if your slate floors currently require sealing, keep an eye out for patchy areas on the floor where the sealant may have worn off. Additionally, if you notice that your slate tiles are staining more easily than before, it is a clear indication that the existing sealant has deteriorated and resealing is necessary. Monitoring the condition of your slate tiles and being attentive to any changes in their appearance and stain resistance will help you determine when it is time to seal them.

Efflorescence is a problem that slate and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the slate to bring salts from the stone to the surface as it evaporates. The water evaporates leaving the salts on the surface resulting in a whitish coating and ruining its finish. The only way to avoid this problem is to seal your slate tiles with one of our highest quality water resistant sealer's and to stop the source of the water that is penetrating the tiles, for example a water pipe leak or damaged grout.

Yes, Tile Cleaning is able to remove efflorescence buildup from slate tiles. Efflorescence, which is the accumulation of salts, can be effectively eliminated using efflorescence removers and other specialized cleaning techniques. It is worth noting that efflorescence is commonly caused by issues such as water leakage behind the slate tiles or through damaged grout lines. While the efflorescence can be removed, it is crucial to address and resolve the underlying cause to prevent its recurrence. By tackling both the efflorescence buildup and addressing the root cause, Tile Cleaners® can help restore the appearance and integrity of your slate tiles.

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.

Tile Cleaners® charge per square meter for each separate room. There is a price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for you to review. Before we begin our work we will measure each room individually, confirm the work to be carried out as well as confirm all costs with you.

To measure the size of a slate area, it is recommended to measure each room individually. Begin by measuring the width and length of the room. Multiply the width by the length to calculate the total square meterage. For example, if a room is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the calculation would be 3 meters * 2 meters = 6 square meters in total. By measuring each room separately and using the width * length method, you can accurately determine the size of the slate area you wish to assess or have restored.

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.

Stripping and Sealing Vinyl Floors


Our vinyl cleaning services consist of three main steps: stripping the vinyl or linoleum floor, thoroughly cleaning it, and finally, re-sealing the floor.

Resealing vinyl floors is advised for multiple reasons. If your floors are aged, extensively scratched, or discolored, stripping away old sealers and applying a fresh, high-quality gloss finish can effectively restore their appearance.

It diminishes the visibility of marks and scratches while establishing a protective barrier against dirt infiltration and abrasion.

Commercial floors, subject to heavy use, generally require resealing every one to two years to maintain their condition and protection. In residential settings, the frequency can range from every three to ten years, depending on the level of foot traffic and usage.

This comprehensive approach ensures that your vinyl or linoleum floors attain a fresh and immaculate appearance.

It is recommended to strip residential vinyl or linoleum floors every 3-10 years, while commercial floors may require stripping every 1-3 years. However, it is important to note that excessive stripping can potentially damage the floors. To maintain a fresh appearance, regular buffing and polishing are preferable as they help preserve the floors' new look.

You will notice that it's time to strip and clean your floors when they appear dull and lackluster, even after undergoing a thorough cleaning.

To maintain the condition and appearance of your vinyl or linoleum floor, there are a few simple precautions you can take. Placing a doormat at entrances can help to trap dirt and debris, preventing them from being tracked onto the floor. Regularly sweeping the floor to remove loose dirt and grit is also essential, as these particles can act as abrasives and potentially scratch the surface. Additionally, promptly wiping up any spills or stains can prevent them from seeping into the floor and causing long-term damage. By implementing these basic measures, you can help preserve the longevity and fresh look of your vinyl or linoleum floor.

To clean vinyl or linoleum floors, it is advisable to sweep or vacuum using a solid floor attachment to remove loose dirt and debris. For stubborn dirt that cannot be removed through sweeping or vacuuming, a non-rinsing cleaner that does not leave behind any residue can be used along with a mop. It is important to avoid using abrasive cleaners, oil-based cleaners, or dish detergents, as these can potentially damage the flooring. By following these guidelines, you can effectively clean and maintain your vinyl or linoleum floors.

Tile Cleaning charges per square meter for each separate room during the stripping and sealing process. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaning website for your reference. Prior to starting the work, our team will measure each room individually, discuss the scope of work to be performed, and confirm all associated costs with you. This ensures transparency and clarity regarding the pricing structure for stripping and sealing your vinyl surfaces.

It is best to measure each vinyl area individually. The simplest method is to multiply the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the total area would be calculated as 3 meters (length) multiplied by 2 meters (width), resulting in a total of 6 square meters (6m2).

The drying time for a vinyl floor can vary depending on factors such as airflow and weather conditions on the day of the service. On average, it usually takes approximately three to six hours for a vinyl floor to dry after cleaning or sealing.

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.

We do not provide repairs for damages such as cuts and scratches. However, we offer a comprehensive stripping, cleaning, and sealing process that can help restore your vinyl flooring. In some cases, our buffing and polishing techniques can minimize the appearance of small scratches. However, please note that deep scratches may still be visible even after the restoration process.

To determine if your old and dull vinyl or linoleum floors can be restored to regain a new appearance, a Tile Cleaning technician will need to conduct an inspection. The feasibility of restoration will depend on various factors, including the age of the vinyl. By carefully assessing the condition of the floors, the technician can provide a professional evaluation and determine if restoration is possible. This inspection allows for an accurate assessment of the floors' potential for revitalization, ensuring that you receive informed guidance regarding the best course of action for your specific vinyl or linoleum flooring.

If the stain is new and has not fully set in, there is a high chance that we can remove it. However, it is important to note that proper maintenance, including regular stripping, cleaning, and sealing, is essential to prevent staining on your vinyl floor in the future.

The main distinction lies in the maintenance requirements. Linoleum floors necessitate regular refinishing intervals, while vinyl floors are more durable and typically only require occasional resealing when the sealant wears off, leaving the tiles vulnerable to scuffing or tearing.
