Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What are the signs that indicate my terracotta floors are in need of cleaning, stripping, and resealing?
- A: When your terracotta floors start to appear dull or matte, even after regular cleaning, it is a clear sign that they are ready for stripping, cleaning, and resealing. Additionally, if you notice that your terracotta tiles are prone to staining easily, it indicates that the previous sealer has worn off, making it crucial to reseal the floors promptly to prevent permanent staining. By addressing these signs and engaging in the appropriate cleaning, stripping, and resealing processes, you can revive the appearance of your terracotta floors and ensure long-lasting protection.
- Q: What is the pricing structure for the process of stripping and sealing my terracotta tiles?

Prior to commencing the work, we will accurately measure each room, discuss the specific tasks to be performed, and provide you with a comprehensive cost breakdown for your approval.
- Q: What can I expect in terms of mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles, and is there a risk of damaging walls or skirting boards?
- A: At Tile Cleaning, we take great care to minimize mess during the stripping and sealing process of terracotta tiles. Our approach involves using high-quality, non-solvent-based stripping and sealing products, which are designed to ensure a clean and tidy process. These products are specifically selected to minimize the risk of damaging your floors, walls, or skirting boards. Our team of technicians is trained to handle the process with utmost care, ensuring that your surfaces are protected throughout. In most cases, non-solvent-based strippers and techniques are used, which effectively achieve excellent results without causing any harm. However, in rare circumstances where solvent-based strippers are necessary, additional precautions may be taken. This could involve temporarily vacating the premises for up to 48 hours to ensure safety and provide optimal protection. Rest assured that our experienced technicians will take all necessary measures to maintain a clean and damage-free environment during the stripping and sealing process.
- Q: What steps are involved in the process of resealing terracotta floors?
- A: When we arrive to reseal your terracotta floors, our professional team will guide you through the step-by-step process. First, any previous sealer that was applied will be stripped off. Next, the terracotta will be meticulously cleaned and neutralized to ensure it is free from dust, residue, and any other substances that could affect the new sealer. Once the surface is prepared, a fresh coat of sealer will be applied to the dry terracotta floor and allowed to set. The result will be a revitalized and protected terracotta floor that not only looks new but is also easier to maintain.
- Q: What are the consequences of not sealing terracotta floors?
- A: If terracotta floors are not sealed, they can be easily damaged. Spills containing oils or harsh substances can penetrate the porous surface of the terracotta tiles, leading to permanent staining that cannot be removed through regular cleaning methods. To prevent this, it is highly recommended to seal your terracotta tiles. Sealing helps maintain the fresh appearance of the tiles, provides protection against permanent staining, and prevents future accidental damage. By sealing your terracotta floors, you can ensure they retain their optimal condition for a longer period and make maintenance easier and more convenient.
