Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor? - Tile and Grout Sealing | Sealing Slate Tiles

• 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.

Other FAQs :

• Q: Do you offer color enhancing services for travertine? If yes, could you provide an explanation of the process involved in color enhancement?
• A: Absolutely, we provide color enhancing services specifically designed for travertine. The color enhancement process involves the application of a specialized compound that enriches and intensifies the natural appearance of the travertine. By applying the color enhancer, the tiles' tones and hues are deepened, bringing out the inherent beauty of the travertine material. This treatment imparts a subtle wet or low sheen finish, enhancing the overall visual appeal of your travertine surfaces. Our color enhancing services are aimed at highlighting the unique characteristics and enhancing the aesthetics of your travertine.
• Q: What is the significance of having my slate tiles sealed?
• A: Having your slate tiles sealed is of utmost importance. Unlike polishes, sealers are specifically formulated to prevent liquids and dirt particles from penetrating the natural stone. It is highly recommended to seal all slate tiles right after they are installed. This initial seal, when applied with a high-quality sealer, can provide protection for up to 15 years. To ensure the longevity and durability of your slate floors, it is essential to contact us promptly after the installation so that we can apply the necessary sealant and safeguard them against any accidental permanent damage.
• Q: What is the pricing method for the sealing of my slate tiles?
• A: Tile Cleaners® utilizes a per square meter pricing model for the sealing of each distinct slate room. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for your reference. Prior to commencing the work, our team will conduct measurements for each room individually. We will then confirm the scope of the work to be carried out and provide you with a comprehensive cost breakdown, ensuring transparency and clarity regarding all expenses involved.
• Q: What steps can I take to maintain the new appearance of my sealed slate tiles?
• A: To maintain the new and pristine appearance of your sealed slate tiles, it is advisable to follow a few important steps. Tile Cleaners® suggests cleaning the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a mild detergent. This gentle cleaning solution will effectively remove any accumulated dirt or grime from the slate surface. It is crucial to avoid using strong detergents that are either highly acidic or alkaline, as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances, as they are highly recommended for maintaining the integrity of the sealer. Furthermore, the best course of action to protect your slate tiles is to seal them with one of our highest quality sealers. This sealing process provides optimal protection against staining and enhances the longevity of your slate tiles' pristine appearance.
• Q: What is the estimated drying time for slate tiles?
• A: Following the application of the sealer, you can anticipate that the slate tiles will be touch dry within approximately 4 hours. However, it is essential to allow a full 24 hours for the sealer to completely cure. This is the recommended timeframe for ensuring optimal effectiveness. During this curing period, it is important to refrain from placing any heavy or hard objects, including furniture, on the tiles and grout. It is advisable to wait at least 24 hours before moving or placing any items back onto the treated surface to avoid compromising the sealer's integrity.
