Answers to F.A.Q’s (frequently asked questions) About
Cleaning
Hard Surfaces
Q: I have been told that bleaching the grout lines
will make them look whiter? Is this true?
A: Bleach will make them brighter, but you may need to check
with the grout manufacturer before starting to be sure the color
wasn’t dyed, bleach will certainly remove the color.
Q: I have what looks like water
stains on my tiles in my kitchen, what could they be? How can I
remove them?
A: ‘Water’ stains could be several different things,
depending on the particular tile you have. Most of the time, water
or mineral deposits can be removed with either polishing with honing
powders and a hog hair pad or by using specific acid cleaners.
Please DO NOT attempt either of these without proper training as you
may permanently damage the tile. To remove these stains it may be
necessary to contact the professional who supplied you with this
report.
Q: I bought a ‘steamer’ to clean my
tile floors with, it works pretty well, but some of the grout lines
are cracking? What should I
do? A: First, I would cease all ‘steaming’ of that floor until you have the grout repaired. Moisture that gets between the tile and sub-floor will be trapped under your tiles and will expand and loosen tile from the concrete or sub-floor. Rinsing the floor is a good thing BUT, you need the right products to make sure you are not damaging the sealer. There is one product available that will actually seek out any weak areas in the sealer and fill them in while you’re cleaning! Ask your hard surface specialist about it!
Q:
How long will sealers last?
A: That depends on the
sealer, the method of application and the frequency and type of
maintenance. Anywhere from six months to ten years or
more. This is just a short cross section of a collection of various questions asked by new clients. For more answers to your questions about hard surfaces, don’t hesitate to contact your professional Hard Surface cleaning company.
