Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the estimated time required to polish concrete? - Tile and Grout Cleaning | Cleaning Concrete Tiles

• A: The duration required to complete concrete polishing varies depending on the size of the area. For larger projects, such as expansive floors, it may take up to three days to complete the polishing process. On the other hand, polishing a smaller surface like a bench-top can typically be finished within half a day. Professional services like Tile Cleaners® strive to minimize disruptions by aiming to complete the work within the same day, ensuring your home or business experiences as little interruption as possible.

Other FAQs :

• Q: What are the reasons for considering the stripping of concrete floors?
• A: Stripping concrete floors is essential if you desire the cleanest and most visually appealing results. By entrusting the task to professionals, they can effectively remove as much of the old sealer as possible. This initial step paves the way for a thorough cleaning process before applying a new sealer. The end result is a fresh and immaculate polished concrete floor that showcases its natural beauty to the fullest extent. With professional stripping, cleaning, and sealing, your concrete floors can achieve their optimal appearance and maintain their pristine condition.
• 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: Is it possible to apply penetrating concrete sealers over existing topical sealers?
• A: No, it is not possible to apply penetrating concrete sealers over existing topical sealers. Topical sealers create a membrane or film on the surface of the concrete, forming a barrier that prevents the penetrating sealers from effectively absorbing into the concrete. Therefore, before applying a penetrating sealer, it is necessary to remove any existing topical sealer to ensure proper penetration and adhesion of the new sealer. This preparation step ensures that the penetrating sealer can effectively provide the desired protection and enhance the durability of the concrete surface.
• Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a concrete area for the purpose of determining the square meterage?
• A: To accurately measure the size of a concreted area, we recommend measuring each area separately. The process is straightforward: multiply the width of the area by its length. For example, if you have a room that is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the total square meterage would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in 6 square meters in total. By measuring each concreted area individually using this method, you can ensure accurate calculations of square meterage for pricing and other purposes.
• Q: What are the potential consequences if concrete floors are not sealed?
• A: If concrete floors are not sealed, they are more susceptible to damage. Spills of oily or harsh substances can easily penetrate the surface and leave permanent stains that are difficult to remove using regular cleaning methods. We strongly advise sealing your concrete surfaces to maintain their fresh appearance, provide protection against permanent staining, and prevent potential accidental damage. By sealing your concrete floors, they will retain their optimal condition for a longer period and will be easier to clean and maintain, offering convenience and peace of mind.
