Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should marble floors be sealed according to the recommended frequency? - Tile and Grout Cleaning | Cleaning Marble Tiles

• A: The recommended frequency for sealing marble floors depends on various factors, including the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic the tiles experience. In Australia, the Deepshield® range offers deep impregnating water-based sealers, with Deepshield Gold® specifically designed for denser materials like marble and granite, providing protection for up to 15 years. Topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, if your marble floors endure heavy foot traffic or are exposed to severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), the lifespan of the sealer may be shorter. It is also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and an increased susceptibility to staining, it may indicate that resealing is necessary.

Other FAQs :

• 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 are the potential consequences if marble floors are not sealed?
• A: If marble floors are not sealed, they can be more susceptible to damage. Oily or harsh spills can penetrate the pores of the marble tiles, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be effectively removed with domestic cleaning methods. To prevent such staining and maintain the natural look and feel of marble tiles, it is strongly recommended to seal them. Sealing provides a protective barrier that safeguards against permanent staining and helps prevent future accidental damage. By sealing your marble floors, you can ensure they retain their optimal appearance for a longer period and make maintenance easier and more convenient.
• Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a marble area?
• A: To accurately measure the size of a marble area, it is recommended to measure each area separately. The measurement process involves multiplying the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in a total of 6 square meters (6m2). This method ensures precise measurement and allows for accurate calculations of the marble area.
• Q: When is the best time to seal marble floors, and what are the indicators that suggest my marble floors are in need of sealing?
• A: The best time to seal marble floors is immediately after installation to provide proactive protection against accidental staining or damage. To determine if your marble floors require sealing, look for patchy areas on the floor where the sealant may have worn off. Additionally, if you notice that the marble tiles are becoming more susceptible to staining, it indicates that the existing sealer has deteriorated, and resealing is necessary to maintain the integrity and appearance of your marble floors. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure the long-term beauty and protection of your marble floors.
• Q: What steps can I take to maintain the fresh appearance of my marble tiles?
• A: To maintain the fresh appearance of your marble tiles, it is recommended to follow a regular cleaning routine. Tile Cleaning suggests cleaning the tiles weekly using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent to remove any dirt or grime from the surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents that contain acid or alkali, as they may affect the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances. Additionally, to provide an extra layer of protection against staining, Tile Cleaning advises sealing your marble tiles with one of their highest quality sealers. Sealing is considered the best form of protection for marble tiles, helping to preserve their appearance and prevent staining. By following these recommendations, you can keep your marble tiles looking new and enhance their longevity.
