Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What are the potential consequences of not sealing granite floors?
• A: If granite floors are left unsealed, they can be susceptible to various issues. Due to their porous nature, spills of oily or harsh substances can seep into the granite tiles and penetrate their pores, resulting in permanent staining that cannot be effectively removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. To preserve the natural look and feel of your granite tiles and safeguard them against permanent staining, we strongly recommend sealing them. Sealing provides a protective barrier that prevents spills from penetrating the surface, keeping your granite floors looking their best for an extended period. Furthermore, sealed granite floors are easier to maintain, offering convenience in their upkeep and ensuring their long-term durability.
• Q: What is the optimal timing for sealing granite floors, and how can I determine if my granite floors currently require sealing?
• A: The ideal moment to seal your granite floors is right after their installation, as this helps prevent any potential accidental staining or damage. If you observe patchy sealed areas on your granite tiles or notice that they are becoming more prone to staining, these are clear indications that your granite floors are in need of sealing. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure the long-term protection and beauty of your granite floors.
• Q: What can I anticipate in terms of the process when you arrive to reseal my granite floors?
• A: When our professional team arrives to reseal your granite floors, they will provide a comprehensive explanation of the job processes, ensuring complete clarity about the procedures involved. The process begins with stripping any previous sealer that may have been applied. Next, the granite floor is meticulously cleaned and neutralized to remove any dust, residue, or other elements that could impact the effectiveness of the new sealer. Once the surface is dry, a fresh sealer is applied and allowed to set. The outcome of this process is a rejuvenated granite floor that not only looks new but is also protected, making it easier to maintain in the long run.
• Q: Are the cleaning and sealing products used by Tile Cleaners® considered toxic?
• A: At Tile Cleaning, we prioritize the safety of your family. We make a conscious choice to use non-toxic finishing agents during our cleaning and sealing processes. Our aim is not only to protect and enhance your granite floors but also to prioritize the health and well-being of your family. We do not include materials or agents in our product portfolio that pose potential health hazards, and we have never incorporated such substances in our practices.
• Q: What is the purpose or benefit of stripping granite surfaces?
• A: The purpose of stripping granite surfaces is to ensure that they are thoroughly cleaned and to remove as much of the old sealer as possible. By doing so, you can achieve the cleanest and most visually appealing results for your granite floors. After the stripping process, the cleaning procedure is carried out, followed by the application of a new sealer. This comprehensive process guarantees that your granite floors will appear fresh, clean, and rejuvenated once our professional team completes the job.
