Frequently Asked Questions
- 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.

Other FAQs :
- Q: What is acid etching, and what measures can I take to safeguard my marble against it?
- A: Acid etching refers to the process in which acidic substances can corrode or eat away at your marble tiles, causing damage. Protecting your marble against acid etching can be challenging as sealing alone may not provide complete defense. The most effective method to safeguard your marble tiles is to promptly seal them and clean any spills or acidic substances immediately. Since stone-based tiles, including marble, have high porosity, sealing is essential to provide protection against future acid attacks and liquid spillage. Taking these preventative measures will help preserve the integrity of your marble tiles.
- Q: What is the proper method for measuring the area of marble that needs to be sealed?
- A: To accurately measure the area of marble that requires sealing, it is best to measure each individual area separately. This can be done by multiplying the width of the area by its length. For instance, if you have a room that is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the total area would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in 6 square meters (6m²). This method ensures precise measurements for determining the amount of marble that needs to be sealed.
- Q: What are the potential consequences of not sealing marble floors?
- A: Neglecting to seal marble floors can leave them vulnerable to damage. Spills containing oils or harsh substances have the potential to penetrate the porous surface of the marble, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be effectively removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. It is highly advisable to seal your marble tiles to preserve their natural appearance, protect them from permanent staining, and prevent accidental damage in the future. By sealing your marble floors, you can extend their longevity, maintain their pristine condition, and facilitate easier and more convenient maintenance.
- Q: Does the application of sealer make marble floors slippery?
- A: The Deepshield™ Impregnating Penetrating Sealer, which we use, does not affect the slipperiness of your marble floors. This sealer penetrates the top layer of your marble, maintaining its original slip resistance. However, it's worth noting that some topical sealers may potentially make the marble floors slippery when wet. To preserve both the appearance and slip resistance of your marble while preventing moisture damage, we suggest sealing your surfaces with a high-quality, invisible, and fully breathable impregnating sealer.
- Q: What can I anticipate in terms of the process when you arrive to re-seal my marble floors?
- A: When our professional team arrives to re-seal your marble floors, they will provide you with a detailed explanation of the job processes. The process begins by stripping any previous sealer, if applied, followed by a thorough cleaning and neutralization of the marble surface. This ensures that the floor is free from dust, residue, and any other factors that may affect the new sealer's effectiveness. Once the marble floor is dry, a fresh layer of sealer is applied and allowed to set. The re-sealed marble floor will not only regain its new-like appearance but also benefit from enhanced protection, making it easier to maintain in the long run.
