Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: How will I be charged for the wood surface buffing service?
• A: At Tile Cleaning , the charge for wood surface buffing is based on a per square meter rate for each separate room. To provide you with an accurate quote, our team will measure each room individually and discuss the specific work to be carried out. We have a price list available on our website for you to review, and we will confirm all costs with you before we begin the buffing process. Our transparent pricing ensures that you are aware of the charges and can make informed decisions about the service.
• Q: What can be done to prevent scratches on wood flooring?
• A: To prevent scratches on wood flooring, there are a few measures you can take. Firstly, placing mats or throw rugs at doorways can help to protect the floor from grit, dirt, and sand that can cause scratches. It is also recommended to use felt pads under the legs of furniture to prevent them from scratching the floor when moved. Regular vacuuming and dusting of the wood floor is important to remove any abrasive particles that could potentially scratch the surface. By implementing these preventive measures, you can help maintain the appearance and condition of your wood flooring.
• Q: What is the average time frame for polishing or resealing timber floors?
• A: The time required to polish or reseal timber floors can vary depending on the size of the area. On average, the process can take approximately 4 to 6 hours. With the use of modern equipment and techniques, our team strives to complete the work within the same day to minimize any inconvenience of multiple appointments. However, it's important to note that the actual duration may vary depending on the specific conditions and requirements of your timber floors.
• Q: Is it safe to damp mop a wood floor?
• A: When it comes to cleaning a surface-finished wood floor, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. In general, using a dampened mop that is nearly dry is safe for maintaining a wood floor. However, it is crucial to avoid excessive moisture, as standing water can cause damage. Excessive water can dull the finish, harm the wood, and leave behind a discolored residue. If any water spills on the wood floor, it is essential to promptly wipe it up with a clean cloth to prevent any potential damage. By using caution and ensuring that the mop is not overly wet, you can safely damp mop your wood floor to maintain its cleanliness and appearance.
• Q: What are the indicators or signs that suggest my timber floors are ready for buffing or polishing?
• A: When your timber floors start to appear dull and lackluster even after thorough cleaning, it is usually an indication that they are ready for buffing or polishing. Over time, foot traffic, dust, and wear can cause the protective coating on the floors to wear down, resulting in a diminished shine. If regular cleaning no longer restores the desired luster, it is a good indication that your floors would benefit from buffing or polishing to rejuvenate their appearance. Consulting with a professional timber floor specialist can help assess the condition of your floors and determine the most appropriate course of action to restore their shine.
