Testimonials

I have several different freshly laid tiles in my new house. All pathways have stone tiles and there are marble tiles in the bathrooms and porcelain in the kitchen. I needed to get them sealed and was not sure if it was possible to seal them all. I contacted Tile Cleaners because my dad recommended them. He had a similar situation in his house and was very happy with the job Tile Cleaners had done. I was very worried about my tiles since they were brand new and very expensive. Tile Cleaners team were very patient with me, explaining how they were going to apply the sealer on different types of tiles, what sealer they would use, how long it would last for and advised me on how to take care of my tiles. I called Tile Cleaners a few times confirming details, asking for prices, making sure they could to the job during the weekend etc. The guys were amazingly patient and helpful. When I had gathered all the information I wanted, I was ready to go ahead. The work done by Tile Cleaners actually took less time than what it took me looking for information about it. Sorry for the pain I caused, and again thank you.

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.

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

Slate Sealing Process

Years ago many natural stoned floors and even some porcelain tiles were sealed with a solvent based sealer. Although this product isn't preferred now because of its harsh chemical composition it still needs to be stripped from many floors as part of any restoration.

Tile Cleaners ® Coonawarra have the safest most effective methods in solvent stripping. Our qualified technicians have years of experience with all types of tiles that have a solvent seal including porcelain, slate, sandstone, bluestone and terracotta. Our state oft eh art machinery can cater for smaller residential jobs to large commercial businesses.

What is Solvent?

There are essentially two different types of floor strippers, water-based and solvent based. Solvents are a much harsher product, cutting through grime with harmful chemicals. Solvent strippers are fast working and a small amount goes along way.

A large majority of house hold cleaners on the market are actually solvent based to some extent. If more people were aware of the harm that solvent cleaners can do to their floors and their health there would certainly be a flip in preferred cleaners. Some of the chemicals in solvent based floor cleaners come with the following health warnings:

  • Severe irritant of the eyes, nose and throat
  • Neurotoxic
  • Respiratory problems
  • Irreparable damage to the respiratory tract
  • Toxic to fish and plant life
  • May damage red blood cells

These chemicals are not only breathed in but remain on floors where our children and animals literally crawl around on. We all want clean floors but we also want our health to be protected.

Slate Before and After Sealing

When do floors need Solvent Stripping?

Solvent stripping is necessary when floors have had a solvent sealer applied in the past. It is not necessary to use this harsh stripper or cleaner on your floors unless the existing sealer is solvent. Yet because they are fast and aggressive many contractors will opt for solvent stripping n matter what the sealer instead of the safer water-based method. Due to the hazardous nature of solvent it is never suggested you attempt to strip it yourself and you should always contact professionals like Tile Cleaners ® Coonawarra.

A water-based stripper is inadequate in removing a solvent sealer. Tile Cleaners ® Coonawarra produce the worlds leading products that are effective in removing solvent sealers that have been down for many years including acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, polyaspartic and polyurea resins. Our technicians will always evaluate the floors to see if it appropriate to use solvent or a water-based stripper.

Is Solvent Stripping Safe?

When carried out by a professional who is trained in removing solvent the process is extremely safe. It is when the proper safety measures aren't taken that it becomes dangerous to your floors, property and health. We have had cases where people have tried to strip solvent themselves and were found collapsed in their homes from the fumes. It is a highly flammable solution so it must be ensured that no sparks or flames will be around the working area. Don't put your health at risk, call the professionals.

Tile Cleaners ® Coonawarra take all the proper safety precautions:

  • Masks
  • Thick protective clothing
  • Methodic treatment
  • Proper ventilation
  • Minimized splash to protect plants and skirting boards
  • Proper clean and extraction of residue

Because solvent is a harsh product occasionally it can strip paint from skirting boards. Guards are used to avoid this as much as possible. It is mainly the fumes that are potentially dangerous, hence depending on the job, for you safety, you may be asked to leave the premises fro a 24 – 48 hours period.

We provide safe, quick and effective stripping solutions for solvent sealed tiles and pavers.
