Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What is a travertine tiles strip and seal?
- A: Travertine tiles stripping and sealing is simply the process of stripping the coating off the travertine floor before resealing it. Travertine flooring can look dull and lifeless over time, making it look older and really bringing down the feel of the home. By stripping and resealing, you can bring back the beautiful, lustrous appearance of your travertine and eliminate the cost of laying new flooring.
- Q: Do the products used by Tile Cleaning contain any toxic ingredients?
- A: Tile Cleaning places great importance on the safety of your family throughout the cleaning process and guarantees the use of non-toxic finishing agents. Our commitment to safety is rooted in protecting your loved ones by avoiding any potentially harmful substances or ingredients. When selecting cleaning products, Tile Cleaning exercises utmost care to exclude any ingredients that could pose health risks. This approach not only helps preserve the condition of your stone tiles but also exemplifies our dedication to prioritizing the overall health and safety of your household.
- Q: Will sealing my travertine prevent efflorescence?
- A: Efflorescence is a problem that travertine and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the travertine to bring salts from the stone to the surface as it evaporates. The water evaporates leaving the salts on the surface resulting in a whitish coating and ruining its finish. The only way to avoid this problem is to seal your travertine tiles with one of our highest quality water resistant sealer's and to stop the source of the water that is penetrating the tiles, for example a water pipe leak or damaged grout.
- Q: How often should I seal my travertine floors?
- A: It depends on the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the travertine tiles are being exposed to. Australia's Deepshield® range of deep impregnating water based sealer's, offer long term benefits with Deepshield Gold® lasting up to 15 years. Topical sealer's have a life expectancy of around 3 years. If you have a high amount of foot traffic or perhaps severe weather conditions(for outdoor tiles), you may experience a shorter lifetime. Sealing your travertine tiles can also depend on the tiles condition. Once they start showing patchy areas and are staining easily then you should have them resealed. Give us a call and we can assist you with all your enquiries.
- Q: What should I do to prepare for the Travertine cleaning?
- A: Move all furniture and items off the floor so it is ready for when we arrive.
