Testimonials

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.

I was about to sell my house, but was not happy with the tiles in the dining area. The tiles were white and shiny but the grout looked really dark and dirty. I already had a potential client; however the dark grout ruined the beauty of the room. I didn't have much time to fix the grout and decided to call Tile Cleaners as my real estate agency mentioned them. As my real estate agent said, Tile cleaners responded really quickly. They also pointed out that some of the grout was coming off in the hallway when they were there, which I had not even noticed. Thank you for fixing my problem so quickly. The house is sold now and I left your details with the new owner so they can keep the tiles in good condition.

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.

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 ® Kingsgrove 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 ® Kingsgrove.

A water-based stripper is inadequate in removing a solvent sealer. Tile Cleaners ® Kingsgrove 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 ® Kingsgrove 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.

Solvent Stripping Process

Tile Cleaners ® Kingsgrove will always make sure they know exactly what they are dealing with before going ahead with any stripping job. There is a major difference between sealers and the strength of the existing sealer must be matched with the stripper. After all furniture is cleared the process will start with a solvent-based stripper being applied to the surface. Appropriate steps are taken to ensure slow evaporation as stripper only works when wet. The stripper is then removed with rotary scrubbers and any residue is extracted with state of the art machinery.

Resealing after a Solvent Strip

If a solvent strip has been carried out you will need to reseal your floors. The product that you are able to effectively reseal with depends on the type that was stripped.

A penetrating water-based sealer cannot be applied to a floor that was stripped of a penetrating solvent sealer, as water will never penetrate solvent. Your choices will be between another solvent seal or a topical water-based sealer that will sit on the surface.

Your floors will most certainly need resealing to ensure they continue to be protected from spills and are easy to maintain. Our technicians and specialists are happy to advise you on which sealer will be the most suitable for your floors and provide you with the best lasting results.
