This customer found us again through google search
by googling tile floor cleaning in Manchester. So we got called out to Chorlton
with this one to see her slate floor. Chorlton-cum-Hardy is a suburban area of Manchester, England, four miles southwest of the city centre.
On arrival it was clear that problem was the old sealer was worn off and only had some thin patches of it left, so the floor wasn't looking fresh anymore. We completed a small cleaning tester for her, which results she was happy with, so we got booked in to clean and seal this beautiful natural stone floor.
For cleaning this slate
stone tiled floor we used our strong alkaline cleaner, which we sprayed on floor and left it breaking down dirt for about 15 - 20 minutes. Then we scrubbed the stone floor with our black scrubbing pad fitted to rotary machine, which followed by grout cleaning and then rinsing the tiled floor with clean water. Ofcourse we didn't want to damage skirting boards and any of the kitchen furniture, so we had to go over the edges by hand. Cleaning the edges by hand is a long process but deffinitely worth it.
After cleaning we rinsed the slate floor several times with clean water, to neutralise chemicals and make sure no dirt gets left on the floor.
Once all cleaning was done, we left floor to dry till the next day.
On arrival the next day, first thing we did was cleaning quality check and damp testing. Fortunately we were lucky and had no issues with this kitchen floor, so we started getting ready for sealing. First we did a quick sealing tester in corner to see how many coats are required for desired finish and then started sealing.
For sealing we used water based film forming topical sealer, it is good for kitchen tiles because it forms coats on the surface and which makes it really easy to clean. Sealer got applied with paint pad and this slate floor took 4 coats of the sealer.
I think it's fair to say, the floor looks nice and fresh after our treatment!
