Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What is floor stripping?
• A: The process of stripping a floor is to ensure that all necessary old and worn sealer is removed; once removed your sandstone tiles can be resealed.
• Q: What can I expect during the process of resealing my sandstone floors when Tile Cleaners arrives?
• A: When you choose our professional team, we will guide you through each step of the job process to ensure complete transparency. Here's what you can expect during the resealing of your sandstone floors. First, if there is any previous sealer applied, it will be stripped off. Next, our team will thoroughly clean and neutralize the sandstone, removing all dust, residue, and any other substances that could impact the new sealer's effectiveness. Once the surface is dry, a new sealer will be carefully applied to the sandstone floor and left to set. The result will be not only a rejuvenated and fresh appearance for your sandstone, but also enhanced protection. The newly sealed sandstone will be easier to maintain, making your ongoing maintenance tasks more convenient. Throughout the process, our team will ensure clear communication and provide professional guidance to meet your expectations.
• 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 is the recommended frequency for sealing sandstone floors?
• A: The frequency of sealing sandstone floors can vary depending on factors such as the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic they receive. In Australia, the Deepshield™ range of deep impregnating water-based sealers is recommended, with the Transparent Penetrating Sealer offering protection for up to 10 years. Topical sealers typically have a lifespan of around 3 years. However, high foot traffic or severe weather conditions can result in a shorter lifespan. It's also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and increased susceptibility to staining, it's a sign that resealing is needed. For specific inquiries and assistance, feel free to reach out to us.
• Q: Why do I need to strip my sandstone floors?
• A: If you want your sandstone 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 sandstone floors once we are finished with the process.
