Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the indicators or signs that suggest my vinyl or linoleum floors are due for stripping and cleaning? - Vinyl and Lino | Tile and Grout Cleaning

• A: You will notice that it's time to strip and clean your floors when they appear dull and lackluster, even after undergoing a thorough cleaning.

Other FAQs :

• Q: What is the recommended frequency for stripping and sealing my floor?
• A: Answering this question can be challenging because it relies on various factors such as frequency of use, contact with objects like trolleys, cleaning practices (sweeping, vacuuming, mopping), and the cleaning products used. Some brooms may have abrasive bristles that can potentially damage the floor. Additionally, certain chemicals can erode the floor sealer, so it's crucial to use pH-neutral floor cleaners with proper dilution rates. Even a pH-neutral cleaner can become alkaline if not diluted correctly. The number of previous sealer coats, the quality of the sealer, and the correct sealing technique employed also play a role in determining floor durability.
• 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.
• Q: Can vinyl or linoleum floors be stripped too frequently?
• A: It is recommended to strip residential vinyl or linoleum floors every 3-10 years, while commercial floors may require stripping every 1-3 years. However, it is important to note that excessive stripping can potentially damage the floors. To maintain a fresh appearance, regular buffing and polishing are preferable as they help preserve the floors' new look.
• Q: What is the pricing structure for the stripping and sealing of vinyl surfaces?
• A: Tile Cleaning charges per square meter for each separate room during the stripping and sealing process. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaning website for your reference. Prior to starting the work, our team will measure each room individually, discuss the scope of work to be performed, and confirm all associated costs with you. This ensures transparency and clarity regarding the pricing structure for stripping and sealing your vinyl surfaces.
• Q: What is the estimated drying time for a vinyl floor?
• A: The drying time for a vinyl floor can vary depending on factors such as airflow and weather conditions on the day of the service. On average, it usually takes approximately three to six hours for a vinyl floor to dry after cleaning or sealing.
