Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What safety precautions or potential risks should be considered during the process of stripping and sealing surfaces?
• A: During the process of stripping and sealing surfaces, safety should be a top priority. Professional tile cleaning services, like Tile Cleaners®, understand the importance of safety and employ measures to mitigate potential risks. They use high-quality water-based products and advanced cleaning machinery to ensure effective cleaning solutions while safeguarding the integrity of the surfaces being treated. By prioritizing safety, these services provide a reliable and secure experience for their customers.
• Q: Does the process of sealing tiles have the potential to alter the appearance of the surface?
• A: The effect of sealing on the surface's appearance can vary depending on factors such as the type of sealer used and the number of coats applied. Different sealers can produce different visual outcomes for the tiles. Some sealers may enhance the natural color and sheen of the tiles, while others may result in a more subdued or matte finish. It is important to consider your desired outcome and consult professionals for guidance in selecting a sealer that aligns with your aesthetic preferences and goals for the surface's appearance. By discussing your requirements, you can choose a sealer that enhances the overall look of the tiles to your satisfaction.
• Q: Can penetrating sealers be applied over existing topical sealers?
• A: No, it is not possible to apply penetrating sealers over existing topical sealers. This is because topical sealers create a barrier on the surface of the material, preventing effective absorption of the penetrating sealer. To achieve the desired results, it is necessary to remove any existing topical sealer before applying a penetrating sealer. By removing the topical sealer, you allow the penetrating sealer to penetrate the material and provide the intended protection and benefits. Removing the topical sealer ensures the maximum effectiveness of the penetrating sealer and optimizes the overall sealing process.
• Q: Can accumulated efflorescence be removed from surfaces?
• A: Yes, it is possible to remove accumulated efflorescence from surfaces. We have the expertise and tools required for this task. Our process involves using effective efflorescence removers and employing specialized cleaning techniques. It is important to note that efflorescence is often caused by underlying issues such as leaks behind stones, tiles, or damaged grout lines. While we can successfully eliminate the visible efflorescence, it is crucial to address and resolve the root cause to prevent its reappearance in the future. By addressing both the efflorescence buildup and the contributing factors, we can restore the surface to its desired condition.
• Q: What are the reasons for sealing tiles and grout?
• A: Sealing tiles and grout is an effective way to protect them from the various factors that can lead to deterioration and loss of appearance. Surfaces are constantly exposed to traffic, UV rays, moisture, rain, chemicals, and impurities like oil, gas, grease, acids, and salt. These elements can cause problems such as cracking, pitting, scaling, spalling, delamination, dusting, discoloration, efflorescence, and salt damage. By using high-quality sealers like Australia's Deepshield™ deep impregnating range, you can prevent unsightly stains, preserve the original color of the tiles, and keep your tiled floors looking their best for a longer period of time. Sealing offers excellent maintenance benefits and helps to maintain the overall quality and appearance of your tiles and grout.
