We can restore or clean your old Terrazzo floor or staircases, Terrazzo surfaces are cleaned using a deep cleaning diamond technology. This works by removing all dirt and soil which accumulates in the micro pores of the stone, after completion we will impregnate the Terrazzo tile and with a high quality sealer to protect the surface against water and oil penetration.

When considering whether to clean or restore, we will carefully inspect the Terrazzo's floor surface. In many cases if the surface has been left dirty for long periods of time and subject to wear and tear over many year, we will then opt for a full restoration.

Depending on the condition of the floor we would use a four stage process to deep clean and polish the Travertine surface. This unique diamond cleaning process will clean the top layer whilst removing scratches accumulated over many years of heavy foot traffic.

Our extensive experience in Terrazzo cleaning and restoration will give you peace of mind when choosing a stone care professional.

What is Terrazzo tile?

Terrazzo floor tiles are made up of marble and cement mixed together. When the tiles are installed, extra marble chips are sprinkled on the tiles' surface, leaving at least 70 percent of the Terrazzo floor surface made of marble. Care must be taken when cleaning Terrazzo tiles so you don't damage the marble surface.

Terrazzo floors are a beautiful choice for flooring and can retain the original beauty for a very long time when cared for properly. Tile Cleaners ® can help you maintain your Terrazzo floors and keep them looking beautiful for longer.

Terrazzo has always been dependent on being one of the most durable floor surfaces in the floor tile industry. Terrazzo is usually a poured surface; however, it is now available as a precut floor tile. It is mainly used for commercial applications and it is available in many colors. Tile Cleaners ® uses only top quality Terrazzo cleaners, Terrazzo sealers, and Terrazzo polishes.

Cleaning Terrazzo Tiles

Cleaning Terrazzo floor tile is the same as cleaning any natural stone and isn't a hard task.
Don't be worried about damaging your stone.
We always recommend neutral cleaners for all natural stone surfaces and that includes Terrazzo cleaning.
Neutral cleaners are safe for all natural stone and tile and grout surfaces.
The most important thing you need to know about cleaning Terrazzo is not to use strong chemicals.

Sealing Terrazzo Tiles in Adelaide

Sealing Terrazzo has been debated among us in the stone and tile industry for many years. Terrazzo is a mixture of marble and Portland cement mixed together. Marble chips are sprinkled on the surface so that a majority of the surface is marble, the marble part of its surface is almost non-absorbent; however the cement binder is very porous and absorbs stains easily. This is the part of the flooring which will cause you the most grief. In older floors this seems to be the biggest problem, however if you are having a new Terrazzo floor installed, our recommendation would be sealing your Terrazzo when it's first installed using penetrating sealant approved for Terrazzo. This sealant will be absorbed by the concrete pores, greatly reducing the absorption quality of the concrete.

Terrazzo Tile Maintenance

Maintaining Terrazzo can be easy, as long as you know what cleaners are best and how to use them.

When cleaning Terrazzo we recommend using a neutral floor cleaner. Neutral meaning neautral pH or pH of 7 on the pH scale.

For daily cleaning, use a microfiber mop, with warm water and your neutral cleaner. Mop your floor and dry with dry mop.

When it comes to cleaning Terrazzo tile and grout, we strive to help educate our customers on the best protection they can have, helping them save time and money in costly restoration costs down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

expand +

Q: What are the indicators that suggest my terrazzo floors are due for cleaning?

If your terrazzo floors appear dull and lack their usual shine, even after thorough domestic cleaning, it is an indication that professional cleaning is needed. The dull and matte appearance suggests the accumulation of dirt and grime that regular cleaning methods may not effectively remove. Additionally, if you notice that your terrazzo tiles are becoming more prone to staining, it signifies that the previous sealer has worn off, leaving the surface vulnerable to staining. In such cases, immediate resealing becomes crucial to prevent further damage from staining. By addressing these signs promptly and seeking professional cleaning and resealing services, you can restore the fresh and vibrant look of your terrazzo floors.

expand +

Q: What does the process of terrazzo strip and seal entail?

Terrazzo strip and seal is a procedure that involves removing the existing coating or sealant from a terrazzo tile floor before applying a new sealer. Over time, terrazzo flooring can become dull and lose its luster, diminishing the overall aesthetics of a home or space. By stripping the old sealant and resealing the terrazzo, you can restore its beautiful and glossy appearance, effectively revitalizing the floor. This process not only enhances the visual appeal but also eliminates the need for costly floor replacement.

expand +

Q: Is it safe to have my terrazzo tiles cleaned by professionals?

Yes, it is safe to have your terrazzo tiles cleaned by professionals at Tile Cleaning. We prioritize the use of high-quality water-based products and state-of-the-art cleaning machinery to ensure the best cleaning results without compromising the condition of your terrazzo tiles. Terrazzo tiles, being porous in nature, require special attention and care compared to man-made tiles. Therefore, it is crucial to utilize the appropriate products and equipment specifically designed for terrazzo tiles to restore them to their optimal condition. Tile Cleaning takes pride in catering to the unique needs of each tile variety, including terrazzo, to provide safe and effective cleaning solutions for your terrazzo tiles.

expand +

Q: Do the products used by Tile Cleaning contain any toxic ingredients?

Tile Cleaning places a strong emphasis on the safety of your family during the cleaning process. They ensure that only non-toxic finishing agents are used, eliminating the presence of any potentially harmful substances or ingredients. Tile Cleaning takes great care in selecting cleaning products, specifically excluding any ingredients that could pose health risks.

By choosing Tile Cleaning, you can have peace of mind knowing that the products used in the cleaning process are free from toxic ingredients.

expand +

Q: What is the recommended frequency for sealing terrazzo floors?

The recommended frequency for sealing terrazzo floors varies depending on factors such as the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the tiles are exposed to. Deepshield® is a range of deep impregnating water-based sealers available in Australia, with Deepshield Gold® offering long-term benefits and a lifespan of up to 15 years. On the other hand, topical sealers typically have a shorter lifespan of around 3 years. However, the actual duration may be influenced by factors such as high foot traffic or severe weather conditions (in the case of outdoor tiles), which may result in a shorter lifespan. Additionally, the condition of the tiles is a determining factor; if they start showing patchy areas and are easily staining, it is an indication that resealing is needed. For personalized assistance and further inquiries, feel free to contact us at your convenience.

expand +

Q: What are the consequences of not sealing my terrazzo floors?

If terrazzo floors are not sealed, they can be prone to damage. Spills containing oils or harsh substances have the potential to penetrate the porous surface of the terrazzo tiles, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. To preserve the natural appearance and durability of terrazzo floors, it is highly recommended to seal them. Sealing provides protection against permanent staining and helps prevent accidental damage in the future. By sealing your terrazzo floors, you can ensure that they maintain their optimal condition for a longer period and make them easier to clean and maintain.

expand +

Q: When is the optimal time to seal terrazzo floors, and how can I determine if my terrazzo floors require sealing at present?

The optimal time to seal terrazzo floors is right after installation, as it helps prevent accidental staining or damage. As for determining if your terrazzo floors require sealing, there are a couple of indicators to look out for. First, if you notice patchy areas on the floor where the sealant appears worn or unevenly applied, it suggests that resealing is necessary. Additionally, if your terrazzo tiles are staining more easily than before, it is a sign that the previous sealant has worn off and resealing is needed. By addressing these observations, you can ensure that your terrazzo floors remain protected and maintain their pristine appearance.

expand +

Q: What steps can I take to maintain the fresh appearance of my terrazzo tiles?

To maintain the fresh appearance of your terrazzo tiles, Tile Cleaning recommends following a regular cleaning routine. It is advised to clean the tiles and grout on a weekly basis using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent. This helps to effectively remove any dirt or grime from the tiled surface. It is important to avoid using strong detergents that contain strong acids or alkalis, as they can potentially affect the sealer. Instead, it is strongly recommended to use mild detergents and pH neutral substances. Additionally, the best advice for protecting your terrazzo tiles is to seal them with one of the highest quality sealers available. Sealing provides the best protection against staining and helps maintain the pristine condition of your terrazzo tiles.

expand +

Q: Can Tile Cleaning remove stains from my terrazzo floor?

If you have a new stain on your terrazzo floor that hasn't set in deeply, there is a good chance that Tile Cleaning can remove it. However, it is important to note that while we strive to clean the stain to the best possible condition, we cannot guarantee complete removal. The outcome also depends on whether the terrazzo tiles have been previously sealed or not. In some cases, stains may penetrate the natural stone and settle below the surface, making them more challenging to clean. To prevent future staining and ensure the long-term protection of your terrazzo floors, we recommend having Tile Cleaning perform a comprehensive process of stripping, cleaning, and sealing your terrazzo floor. By taking this approach, you can minimize the likelihood of future staining and preserve the pristine appearance of your terrazzo floors.

expand +

Q: What is the pricing structure for cleaning my terrazzo tiles?

Tile Cleaning charges for cleaning terrazzo tiles based on a per square meter rate for each individual room. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaning website to review. Prior to commencing the work, our team will measure each room individually and discuss the specific scope of the cleaning service with you. We will also provide a clear confirmation of all costs associated with the cleaning job. This ensures transparency and allows you to have a complete understanding of the pricing structure before the cleaning process begins.

expand +

Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a terrazzo area?

To measure the size of a terrazzo area, it is recommended to measure each area separately. The measurement can be calculated by multiplying the width of the area by its length. For example, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 multiplied by 2, resulting in a total of 6 square meters. By measuring each terrazzo area separately and using the width by length calculation, you can accurately determine the total size of the area.

expand +

Q: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor?

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.

expand +

Q: What steps should I take to prepare for the cleaning of my terrazzo floors?

To prepare for the cleaning of your terrazzo floors, it is important to remove all furniture and items from the floor. By doing so, you ensure that the area is clear and ready for the cleaning process when our team arrives. This allows our technicians to have unobstructed access and provides a safe and effective environment for the cleaning procedure. Removing furniture and items from the floor also helps to prevent any potential damage or interference during the cleaning process.
