- 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.

- Q: What can I anticipate in terms of the process when you arrive to reseal my terracotta floors?
- A: When our professional team arrives to reseal your terracotta floors, they will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring transparency and clarity. The procedure begins by stripping any existing sealer, if present, followed by a comprehensive cleaning and neutralization of the terracotta to eliminate any dust, residue, or potential contaminants that could impact the effectiveness of the new sealer. Next, a fresh sealer is carefully applied to the dry terracotta surface and allowed to properly set. As a result, your terracotta floors will regain their original appearance, while also benefiting from enhanced protection, making them easier to maintain in the long run.
- Q: What is the expected drying time for terracotta tiles after the resealing process?
- A: After the resealing process, the drying time for terracotta tiles depends on the type of sealer used. Penetrating sealers typically become touch dry within 4 hours, while it takes approximately 24 hours for the sealer to fully cure. Once the sealer is fully cured, you can safely place furniture and other objects back onto the tiles and grout. It is important to avoid getting the surfaces wet for at least 24 hours to allow proper curing. In the case of topical sealers, they generally require around 48 hours to fully cure before normal activities can resume.
- Q: Why is it crucial to seal terracotta tiles?
- A: Terracotta tiles should be sealed to prevent liquids and dirt from penetrating the surface. Sealing is distinct from polishing and serves the purpose of protecting your terracotta surfaces. It is highly recommended to seal all terracotta tiles after installation. The initial seal can provide protection for up to 15 years, depending on the quality of the sealer and the level of wear and exposure. To safeguard your terracotta tiles from accidental damage, it is advisable to contact us promptly after installation for timely protection.
