Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What measures can I take to maintain the appearance of my marble tiles after sealing?
• A: To preserve the fresh appearance of your marble tiles after sealing, Tile Cleaners® suggests a weekly cleaning routine using a mild detergent to effectively eliminate dirt and grime from the marble surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents containing harsh acids or alkalis, as they can potentially compromise the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances, which are highly recommended. For optimal protection against staining, our expert advice is to seal your marble tiles with one of our highest quality sealers. This added layer of protection serves as the best defense against potential staining and helps maintain the pristine condition of your marble tiles.
• Q: What is the drying time for marble tiles?
• A: Marble tiles typically take approximately 4 hours to become touch dry after the sealing process. However, it is recommended to allow a full 24 hours for the sealer to fully cure before placing any objects or furniture back onto the tiles. During this curing period, it is important to refrain from moving any heavy items onto the tiles or grout to prevent any potential damage.
• Q: How can I determine if my marble floors require sealing?
• A: Tile Cleaning recommends conducting a simple "water test" to assess whether your marble floors necessitate sealing. This widely recognized test in the stone industry involves placing a few drops of water on the stone surface and allowing it to remain for approximately 10 to 30 minutes. Subsequently, wipe the water dry. If the marble did not darken during this process, it indicates that your marble is adequately sealed and does not require further sealing. However, if the water caused darkening of the marble, it signifies that the water was able to penetrate the stone, indicating the need for sealing.
• Q: What type of sealer is applied to marble tiles, and does it have any impact on the texture of the tiles?
• A: The sealer used for marble tiles is exclusively water-based in all our applications, except in specific situations where solvent-based sealer becomes necessary. Rest assured that the sealer will not alter the texture of your marble tiles in any manner. Its primary function is to safeguard your marble from stains while preserving the desired natural and radiant appearance you desire.
• 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.
