Stone cleaning and stone restoration takes great skill. You need to approach the work carefully so that no damage is caused to the floor. Damage can be costly and intrusive to fix and can easily be avoided with experience and care.
We were asked to clean and seal this Victorian mosaic floor. The tile floor had been down a long long time and showed signs of its age. However, with a deep clean and seal we were able to bring it back to an acceptable finish for our client. Our clients were really pleased with the results.
When a floor has been laid for many years it is likely there many be areas of damage. Mosaic floors, with tiny tiles can also look deteriorated in their appearance because of the grout surrounding the individual tiles. When cleaning the tiles, areas of damage or possible damage should be treated with extreme care to ensure further deterioration is not caused.
Therefore, it is pivotal during the cleaning process that the surface of the tiles are cleaned alongside the grout lines. The stone cleaning products and techniques employed to do this will likely determine the success or failure of any stone restoration project.
This is certainly the case with selecting a stone sealer. Sealing stone floors is incredibly important. It offers a layer of protection for the tile and grout underneath and acts as a barrier. This barrier offers aesthetic benefits and well as functional ones. Dirt, water and particles effectively sit on the top of the stone sealer surface. This means that it doesn’t infiltrate into the tile and ingrain.
Our advice is to ensure that your stone floors are appropriately sealed. This process will need to be re-applied regularly. The time in between these applications will vary depending on the location of the floor, usage and other factors. We will always make sure to offer valuable advice in relation to routine cleaning.
