Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What steps should I take to prepare for the cleaning of my stone floors?
• A: Please ensure that all furniture and items are moved off the floor prior to our arrival, as this will prepare the space for us to clean effectively.
• Q: Can you assist in removing a stain from my stone floor?
• A: If the stain is relatively new and hasn't deeply set into the stone, there is a good chance that we can remove it. However, we cannot provide a guarantee of complete stain removal; our assurance lies in cleaning the stain to the best possible condition. The effectiveness of stain removal also depends on whether the stone tiles have been previously sealed or not. Certain stains may penetrate the natural stone and settle below the surface, making them difficult to clean. To prevent future staining, it is essential to have us perform the process of stripping, cleaning, and sealing your stone floor. This comprehensive treatment ensures that your stone floors are protected against potential stains.

• Q: Why do I still see marks on my polished marble/limestone/travertine even though it has been sealed?
• A: Even though your polished marble/limestone/travertine has been sealed, you may still notice marks on the surface. It's important to understand that these marks are often not stains but rather etches. Acid-sensitive stones, such as these, can be affected by any acid, which can lead to a loss of polish and the creation of a dull or frosty surface. For example, red wine can cause both a stain and an etch on unsealed stone, but on a sealed stone, only the etch may be visible. Penetrating sealers function by sitting below the surface of the stone, preventing acid from deeply penetrating and causing stubborn stains, but they may not fully protect against surface etching. Acid can come in various forms, such as fruit juices, wine, salad dressings, or even urine in bathroom settings, and can cause damage. The good news is that this type of damage can typically be repaired.
• Q: What steps should I take to maintain my floors after they have been cleaned and sealed?
• A: The technician who performs the cleaning and sealing of your floors will provide you with personalized maintenance advice specific to your tiled area. In general, we recommend using a mild cleaner, such as Spirit "Neutral Cleaner," at least once a week to keep your tiled floors well-maintained. Tiles with a textured surface may benefit from using a doodlebug instead of a mop for a more effective clean. It is important to avoid the use of harsh chemicals as they can diminish the longevity of the sealers. Additionally, when mopping, remember to change the water frequently to prevent spreading dirty water across your floors.
