Other FAQs :
- Q: What can I do to keep my Donnybrook Stone looking new after sealing?
- A: To keep your Donnybrook Stone and grout looking new, Tile Cleaners® recommend cleaning each week with a mild detergent to remove any dirt or grime from the Donnybrook Stone surface. Strong detergents(strong acid or alkali) may affect the sealer, mild detergents and pH neutral substances are strongly recommended. Our best advice to protect your Donnybrook Stone is to seal them with one of our highest quality sealers. This is the best protection your Donnybrook Stone can receive against staining.
- Q: What is the usual lifespan of the sealer before it requires reapplication?
- A: The lifespan of a sealer before reapplication is influenced by the type of sealer used. Topical sealers typically provide protection for approximately 3 years before requiring reapplication. In contrast, impregnating sealers are more durable and can last up to 15 years or even a lifetime when applied to vertical surfaces. However, areas with high foot traffic or frequent use may necessitate more frequent inspections and resealing to ensure ongoing protection. Conducting a water absorption test can help assess the porosity of the surface and aid in selecting a sealer with longer-lasting durability. It is advisable to refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer and consult professionals to determine the specific reapplication schedule suitable for your tiles and grout.
- Q: What is acid etching and how can I protect my Donnybrook Stone against it?
- A: Any acidic substance is harmful for your Donnybrook Stone, they can be etched (eaten/corroded) easily and sealing against acid attack is very difficult. The best way to protect your Donnybrook Stone tiles from acid attack is to seal and clean spills immediately. The high porosity of stone based tiles makes sealing a must in order to provide protection against future acid attack and liquid spillage.
- Q: What does the term "sealer" refer to?
- A: When we talk about a "sealer," we are referring to a liquid or carrier that contains a resin. This substance is applied to porous surfaces, whether they are natural stone or man-made materials. The primary function of a sealer is to provide protection against staining caused by water and/or oil-based materials. By applying the sealer, you can prevent these substances from penetrating and staining the surface. Additionally, a sealer can enhance the overall cleaning results by making it easier to clean and maintain the surfaces effectively.
- 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.
