Testimonials

When I moved into my new house, I was shocked by how dirty and old the tiles in the entire house looked. I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be like that or if they were just really dirty. I decided to call Tile Cleaners and ask them to have a look and tell me what I could do to improve the look of my tiles. Tile Cleaners ® came the same weekend and managed to make my tiles look brand new. They also informed me that the sealer would protect my tiles for years to come. Amazing! Thank you guys! My floor looks gorgeous.

Thank you Tile Cleaners ® for dealing with the solvent sealer I had and resealing my hallway; I know it's a pain but you did a great job. I will definitely call you again as I need help with my tiles in the office.

Paul Gold, Gold Coast, QLD

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

To achieve the best results a combination of pressurised water and chemicals are required. Like all cleaning procedures, water alone can only do so much when cleaning hard surface. Chemicals eliminate the need to use excessive water or high pressure which can damage some substrates. Biodegradable chemicals should be used wherever possible.

The key to high pressure cleaning is to kill the algae, mould and mildew all the way down to the root. This will allow your surface to stay cleaner for longer. Simply blasting away the top layer with a high pressure cleaner leaves behind living spores which quickly take root and re-infest the area!

It is important to recognise the fact that not all surfaces can be treated in the same manner. An understanding of both the material composition and the nature of its deterioration are essential. That is why hiring a professional pressure cleaner is a wise option. Somebody who can identify the types of stain and contaminants and who understands the surfaces characteristics.

Oil & Grease Removal

Oil & Grease needs to be treated immediately as it is the material most likely to leave stains or spoiling that cleaning cannot rectify. If a concrete, paver, all tiled surface which has not been sealed is subjected to oil or grease it will most likely be permanently stained unless you act quickly. Stains can be removed using a number of products, many of which contain hazardous ingredients. We recommend using an eco-friendly product wherever possible.

In order to high pressure clean your hard surfaces properly, only commercial grade equipment and detergents must be used. Our high pressure cleaning services can remove dirt, mould, grease, moss, mildew and harmful pollutants!

Tile and Grout Outdoor Pressure Washing

Over time weather, soil erosion, dirt, grease and oil spills can tarnish the look of your driveway and walkways. Mould and mildew can easily build up on the outside surfaces of your property, not only looking unappealing but also potentially causing serious health problems. Pressure washing can restore the outdoor surfaces of your home and business to “as new” condition. When pressure washing, Tile Cleaners® use the highest calibre equipment and chemicals ensuring you are more than satisfied with the end result.

Sealing outdoor tiles

Outdoor tiles are exposed to weather and the elements, including sun, rain, wind and frost. Therefore, it is important to determine whether the type of tile you have outside is a tile that requires sealing or not. In general, all porous tiles do require sealing, especially outdoor stone tiles. It is also important to determine which type of sealer you will be using on your outdoor tiles, as different sealers can be used on outdoor tiles, and different sealers are required for different types of tile, which is why we always recommend consulting a professional even if you have decided to do it yourself, as using the wrong type of sealer can mean the sealer on the tiles will start to wear off within a few weeks of application, which will require further work to remove and reapply again correctly, wasting your precious time and money.

Sealing is the first important step towards protecting your outdoor tiles against stains

Types of sealers used on outdoor tiles

Water based sealers and solvent-based sealer's can both be used on outdoor tiles, however unless absolutely required for a specific reason, we always recommend applying a water based sealer that is UV resistant and won't alter the slip resistance of your outdoor surfaces. Water based sealers do not produce dangerous fumes on application and removal, are a lot easier to apply and remove and also require less drying time.

It is however important to know which type of water based sealer to use on your outdoor tiles, as most water based sealers will not last long outside as they are designed for internal use, so it is important to use a water based sealer that is specifically designed for outside use.

You should always ensure that your tiles themselves are completely clean, before you attempt to seal the tile. This will protect the appearance of the tile, and help to ensure there won't be any dirt or other debris caught under the layer of sealant.

Penetrating Sealers

Penetrating sealers work by sinking into the substrate and protecting from within. They deposit either a natural or synthetic resin into the pores of the tile and once the sealer is applied, the water or solvent evaporates and leaves the resin within the stone, which then hardens to form an invisible protecting barrier that prevents the stone from absorbing unwanted matter. The major benefit of penetrating sealers is that they allow the stone or tile to breathe and will never peel or scratch.

Tile Cleaners® recommend Australian Deepshield™ Deep Penetrating quality impregnating water based sealers for their outdoor tiles which are UV resistant and importantly wont alter the slip resistance of your surfaces, providing long-term stain resistance and reliability.

A deep penetrating impregnating sealer protects outdoor tiles and grout from water and oil based stains by chemically reacting with the surface pores to create a breathable protective barrier. An impregnating sealer such as Deepshield™ protects your outdoor tiles from absorbing stains while also resulting in cleaning and maintenance becoming much easier. A penetrating impregnating transparent sealer enters the pores of your stone and once cured will not change the look of the stone. A penetrating colour enhancing sealer is designed to enhance and enrich the natural look of stone surfaces.

Tile Cleaners® provide specialised stripping & sealing as well as all restoration solutions for your outdoor tiles

Film Forming or Topical Sealers

Topical Sealers form a film on the top of the substrate and provide a coating that protects against damage. The purpose of the sealer is to reduce the natural absorbency of your tile so foreign materials will not sink in but will instead remain on the surface until they can be wiped away.

Gloss and colours can be added to these sealers along with hardeners and non slip grits if needed. Garage, office and factory surfaces really benefit from colour coating sealing.

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 to their outdoor tiles. Topical sealer's (glossy plastic coating over the top of the tiles) are still used on outdoor tiles, but these older style sealers 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.
