Frequently Asked Questions

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 consequences of not sealing my terrazzo floors?
• A: If terrazzo floors are not sealed, they can be prone to damage. Spills containing oils or harsh substances have the potential to penetrate the porous surface of the terrazzo tiles, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. To preserve the natural appearance and durability of terrazzo floors, it is highly recommended to seal them. Sealing provides protection against permanent staining and helps prevent accidental damage in the future. By sealing your terrazzo floors, you can ensure that they maintain their optimal condition for a longer period and make them easier to clean and maintain.
• Q: What steps should I take to prepare for the cleaning of my terrazzo floors?
• A: To prepare for the cleaning of your terrazzo floors, it is important to remove all furniture and items from the floor. By doing so, you ensure that the area is clear and ready for the cleaning process when our team arrives. This allows our technicians to have unobstructed access and provides a safe and effective environment for the cleaning procedure. Removing furniture and items from the floor also helps to prevent any potential damage or interference during the cleaning process.
• Q: What are the indicators that suggest my terrazzo floors are due for cleaning?
• 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.
• Q: What steps can I take to maintain the fresh appearance of my terrazzo tiles?
• A: To maintain the fresh appearance of your terrazzo tiles, Tile Cleaning recommends following a regular cleaning routine. It is advised to clean the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent. This helps to effectively remove any dirt or grime from the tiled surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents that contain strong acids or alkalis, as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, it is strongly recommended to use mild detergents and pH neutral substances. Additionally, the best advice for protecting your terrazzo tiles is to seal them with one of the highest quality sealers available. Sealing provides the best protection against staining and helps maintain the pristine condition of your terrazzo tiles.
