- Q: My polished marble / limestone / travertine is sealed but still has marks - why?
- A: Penetrating stone sealing products protect the stone from staining. Often the "stains" are not stains but are etches. These stones are acid-sensitive and any acid will burn the polish and create a dull or frosty surface. A good example is red wine. On an unsealed stone you will get a red stain and an etch, but on a sealed stone you will only get the etch. Penetrating sealers sit below the surface of the stone and prevent the red wine acid penetrating deeply to form a stain, but will allow the acid to burn the surface. Acid can come in many forms as simple as fruit or wine and salad dressings, or in the bathroom urine may do the damage. This damage can however be repaired.
- Q: Why not just scrub the grout with a brush and mop it clean?
- A: The mopping of excess cleaner is not completely absorbed leaving the cleaner in the pores of the grout. The cleaner will disrupt the PH level of the floor creating a dirt magnet after completion.
- Q: How do I maintain my floors after they have been cleaned / sealed?
- A: The technician who carries out your cleaning/sealing will be able to offer maintenance advice specific to your tiled area. As a general rule we recommend the use of a mild cleaner at least weekly to maintain you tiled floors. Tiles with a textured surface may benefit from the use of a doodlebug rather than a mop for a more effective clean. Avoid the use of harsh chemicals which will decrease the life expectancy of sealers. Also when mopping make sure to change you water frequently otherwise all you might achieve is spreading dirty water around your floors!
