Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the indicators that suggest my terrazzo floors are due for cleaning? - Tile and Grout Cleaning | Cleaning Terrazzo Tiles

• A: If your terrazzo floors appear dull and lack their usual shine, even after thorough domestic cleaning, it is an indication that professional cleaning is needed. The dull and matte appearance suggests the accumulation of dirt and grime that regular cleaning methods may not effectively remove. Additionally, if you notice that your terrazzo tiles are becoming more prone to staining, it signifies that the previous sealer has worn off, leaving the surface vulnerable to staining. In such cases, immediate resealing becomes crucial to prevent further damage from staining. By addressing these signs promptly and seeking professional cleaning and resealing services, you can restore the fresh and vibrant look of your terrazzo floors.

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: Is it safe to have my terrazzo tiles cleaned by professionals?
• A: Yes, it is safe to have your terrazzo tiles cleaned by professionals at Tile Cleaning. We prioritize the use of high-quality water-based products and state-of-the-art cleaning machinery to ensure the best cleaning results without compromising the condition of your terrazzo tiles. Terrazzo tiles, being porous in nature, require special attention and care compared to man-made tiles. Therefore, it is crucial to utilize the appropriate products and equipment specifically designed for terrazzo tiles to restore them to their optimal condition. Tile Cleaning takes pride in catering to the unique needs of each tile variety, including terrazzo, to provide safe and effective cleaning solutions for your terrazzo tiles.
• Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a terrazzo area?
• A: To measure the size of a terrazzo area, it is recommended to measure each area separately. The measurement can be calculated by multiplying the width of the area by its length. For example, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 multiplied by 2, resulting in a total of 6 square meters. By measuring each terrazzo area separately and using the width by length calculation, you can accurately determine the total size of the area.
• Q: When is the optimal time to seal terrazzo floors, and how can I determine if my terrazzo floors require sealing at present?
• A: The optimal time to seal terrazzo floors is right after installation, as it helps prevent accidental staining or damage. As for determining if your terrazzo floors require sealing, there are a couple of indicators to look out for. First, if you notice patchy areas on the floor where the sealant appears worn or unevenly applied, it suggests that resealing is necessary. Additionally, if your terrazzo tiles are staining more easily than before, it is a sign that the previous sealant has worn off and resealing is needed. By addressing these observations, you can ensure that your terrazzo floors remain protected and maintain their pristine appearance.
• Q: Can Tile Cleaning remove stains from my terrazzo floor?
• A: If you have a new stain on your terrazzo floor that hasn't set in deeply, there is a good chance that Tile Cleaning can remove it. However, it is important to note that while we strive to clean the stain to the best possible condition, we cannot guarantee complete removal. The outcome also depends on whether the terrazzo tiles have been previously sealed or not. In some cases, stains may penetrate the natural stone and settle below the surface, making them more challenging to clean. To prevent future staining and ensure the long-term protection of your terrazzo floors, we recommend having Tile Cleaning perform a comprehensive process of stripping, cleaning, and sealing your terrazzo floor. By taking this approach, you can minimize the likelihood of future staining and preserve the pristine appearance of your terrazzo floors.
