Testimonials

My mother's tiles were old and ugly, as she has been living in the same house her entire life without ever really taking care of her tiles. I called Tile Cleaners to get advice on what to do with them. They came to her house the next day to have a look at my mum's tiles. I am very satisfied with how patient and highly professional you were with my mother. I am sorry I couldn't be there when you arrived, and I am really impressed by how you managed to explain everything to my mom and help her out. Thank you for doing a great job.

Angela Coopers, Concord, NSW

I just got new tiles laid in my house that were very expensive. I needed to get them sealed but couldn't afford to pay much for it. On the other hand I didn't want to go for a company offering cheap and unreliably services. My boss recommended Tile Cleaners, saying that the company's prices were reasonable and that they offered quality service when he used them. I contacted them and ended up doing a booking with them. It is very pleasant to know that there are companies out there who actually care about providing very high quality services for affordable prices. I gave your contacts to my sister. Thank you for the job you did

Robert Williams, Norman Park, QLD

I was about to sell my business and wanted to clean and reseal my vinyl floors to improve the looks of them before having people over for inspection of the property. I did a booking with another company but was horrified when I realized that my floor was back to its horrible look in less than two weeks. I carefully looked up other cleaning companies, scared that I would chose the wrong cleaning company. A friend of mine recommended Tile Cleaners, but after what happened to my floor last time I got it cleaned I was really skeptic, but gave it a go. All I can say is thank you guys so much for a quick response and a good job. I sold the office and left your contact details with the new owner for future cleaning.

What is Marble?

Marble is known as a non-foliated metamorphic rock, meaning it does not appear to have any layering, and has transformed from another material through heat, pressure and time. Marble ranges from between 1 and 4 on the Mohs scale, which determines material hardness, diamond has a rating of 10.

Marble has the ability to attain a very high polish, leaving the surface very smooth and with a lustrous shine. One of the features of marble is its slight translucent quality, allowing light to penetrate the surface of the stone and cause a slightly glowing reflection creating a very appealing effect. When marble is polished the natural colours are enhanced, making the stones qualities more noticeable.

Marble is a natural material and a relative of limestone which requires special care both because of its high value, and because it is unfortunately prone to scratching and staining. Marble is porous and will absorb liquids, and oils, leaving stains under the surface that can be very difficult to remove. The acidic nature of many substances around the house can instantly etch the stone. Fruit juice, sauces, soft drink and acidic cleaning products coming into contact with marble puts it in danger of permanent staining.

Sealing Marble Floors

Two main sealing options exist for marble tiles

  • Deep Penetrating Impregnating Sealer
    (Transparent Finish/Colour Enhancing Finish)

  • Topical Sealer
    (Gloss/Satin/Matte Finish)
deepshield marble

A deep penetrating impregnating sealer protects marble and grout from water and oil based stains by chemically reacting with the surface pores using nano-technology to create a breathable protective barrier. An impregnating sealer protects the marble surface and grout from absorbing stains while also resulting in cleaning and maintenance becoming much easier. Australia's Deepshield® range of impregnating water based sealer's, offer long term benefits lasting for up to 10 years while Deepshield Gold®, based on the latest fluoro-bond technology lasts for up to 15 years. A penetrating impregnating transparent sealer enters the pores of your stone and, once cured will not change the look of the tile or stone. A penetrating colour enhancing sealer is designed to enhance and enrich the natural look of stone surfaces.

Tile Cleaners® are experts at applying all types of sealer and will ensure your marble looks its absolute best. Tile Cleaners® experienced technicians can apply a topical sealer when especially required to create a high gloss, satin sheen or matte finish to your surfaces. Topical sealer is also helpful in situations where the old solvent based sealer can not be completely removed or when required to hide certain types of damage. Topical sealer's have a life expectancy of around 3 years.

You can easily test how porous your natural marble is by applying a drop of water to the surface and watching how the water is absorbed by the marble. You can then see how any type of water based stain can be absorbed by the marble tile surface and grout.

Types of sealer's used on marble tiles

Water based sealer's and solvent-based sealer's can both be used on marble, however unless absolutely required for a specific reason, we always recommend applying a water based sealer that doesn't produce harmful fumes during application and removal. Water based sealers are easier to apply and remove and also require less drying time. One of the most popular product ranges available is Australian made Deepshield® quality impregnating water based sealer's that prolong the life of your surfaces by taking full advantage of recent advancements in nano technology, providing unmatched long-term stain resistance and reliability.

It is important to ensure the correct water based sealer is applied to your marble tile, which will also depend on whether they are indoors or outdoors as most sealer's will not last long outside due to being designed for internal use. If your marble is outdoors, it is important to use a water based sealer that is specifically designed for outdoor marble.

There are two types of impregnating clear sealer, water based sealer & solvent based. In the past solvent based sealers were more widely used as they used to absorb deeper into the marble and grout and would also last longer. Today however, thanks to new technological advancements, it is recommended only to use water based sealer's, that last much longer and cause less potential damage to health and property.

Solvent based products are more difficult to apply and can create major problems when applied incorrectly as they are very hard to remove. Tile Cleaners® recommend our clients apply a long lasting water based sealer such as a quality product from Australia's Deepshield® range of sealer's to their marble tiles and grout. Topical sealer's (glossy plastic coating over the top of the marble) are still used on marble, but these older style sealer's can trap moisture in the stone and make the surface slippery when wet. When a topical sealer wears in higher traffic areas, the entire surface usually needs to be stripped and re-sealed.

It is very important to ensure that tiles achieve their cleanest possible condition prior to being sealed. This will protect the appearance of the tile, and importantly ensure that there won't be any dirt, stains or other debris caught under the layer of sealant.

To provide the best possible protection from oil and water-based stains; to maintain the look and slip resistance of your marble and to prevent damaging moisture from being trapped within the stone, it is recommended to seal your marble with a high quality, invisible, fully breathable impregnating sealer.

Frequently Asked Questions

You will know it's time to have your marble floors stripped, cleaned and sealed once they begin to appear dull or "matte" even after you have given them an efficient regular clean.

Yes, our tile cleaning services are safe! Tile Cleaners® generally use only the highest quality water based products alongside our state of the art cleaning machinery to provide the best cleaning solution without compromising your marble tiles.

These products are specifically designed to minimize mess and ensure the protection of your granite tiles and other surfaces in your home. With our current non-solvent-based strippers and techniques, there is no significant risk of damaging your walls or skirting boards.

If such circumstances arise, you may be required to vacate the premises for up to 48 hours to ensure your safety.

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.

If you want your marble floors to be their cleanest and looking their very best you need to have a professional remove as much of the old sealer as possible. Once this is done the cleaning process will be carried out and the sealer applied. You will have the freshest and cleanest possible marble floors once we are finished with the process.

Marble tiles stripping and sealing is simply the process of stripping the coating off the marble floor before resealing it. Marble 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 marble and eliminate the cost of laying new flooring.

Our professional team will go through the job processes with you step by step so you know exactly what you're getting. The process includes stripping any previous sealer if it was applied, the marble is then thoroughly cleaned and neutralised so that it is free of dust, residue and anything else that can affect the new sealer. A new sealer is applied to the dry marble floor and allowed to set. The newly sealed marble floor will not only look new again, it will be protected and result in your marble becoming easier to maintain.

The recommended frequency for sealing marble floors depends on various factors, including the type of sealer used and the level of foot traffic the tiles experience. In Australia, the Deepshield® range offers deep impregnating water-based sealers, with Deepshield Gold® specifically designed for denser materials like marble and granite, providing protection for up to 15 years. Topical sealers typically last around 3 years. However, if your marble floors endure heavy foot traffic or are exposed to severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), the lifespan of the sealer may be shorter. It is also important to consider the condition of the tiles. If you notice patchy areas and an increased susceptibility to staining, it may indicate that resealing is necessary. For further inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact our team, who will be delighted to assist you.

Neglecting to seal marble floors can leave them vulnerable to damage. Spills containing oils or harsh substances have the potential to penetrate the porous surface of the marble, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be effectively removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. It is highly advisable to seal your marble tiles to preserve their natural appearance, protect them from permanent staining, and prevent accidental damage in the future. By sealing your marble floors, you can extend their longevity, maintain their pristine condition, and facilitate easier and more convenient maintenance.

The best time to seal marble floors is immediately after installation to provide proactive protection against accidental staining or damage. To determine if your marble floors require sealing, look for patchy areas on the floor where the sealant may have worn off. Additionally, if you notice that the marble tiles are becoming more susceptible to staining, it indicates that the existing sealer has deteriorated, and resealing is necessary to maintain the integrity and appearance of your marble floors. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure the long-term beauty and protection of your marble floors.

Efflorescence is a problem that marble and most porous tiles can face. It's the tendency of the water in the marble 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 marble 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.

Yes we can. Efflorescence is a build up of salts and can be removed with efflorescence removers and other specialised cleaning techniques. Efflorescence is typically caused by a leakage behind the marble tiles or through damaged grout lines. The efflorescence can be removed but it is important the cause of the efflorescence is resoled.

To maintain the fresh appearance of your marble tiles, it is recommended to follow a regular cleaning routine. Tile Cleaning suggests cleaning the tiles weekly using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent to remove any dirt or grime from the surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents that contain acid or alkali, as they may affect the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances. Additionally, to provide an extra layer of protection against staining, Tile Cleaning advises sealing your marble tiles with one of their highest quality sealers. Sealing is considered the best form of protection for marble tiles, helping to preserve their appearance and prevent staining. By following these recommendations, you can keep your marble tiles looking new and enhance their longevity.

Tile Cleaners® charge per square meter for each separate room. There is a price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for you to review. Before we begin our work we will measure each room individually, confirm the work to be carried out as well as confirm all costs with you.

To accurately measure the size of a marble area, it is recommended to measure each area separately. The measurement process involves multiplying the width of the area by its length. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in a total of 6 square meters (6m2). This method ensures precise measurement and allows for accurate calculations of the marble area.

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.

To prepare for marble cleaning, it is recommended to remove all furniture and items from the floor area. This ensures that the space is clear and ready for the cleaning process when the technicians arrive. By removing furniture and other objects, you provide unobstructed access to the marble surface, allowing for a thorough and efficient cleaning.
