Our Customer had just bought the house in Didsbury
, with this beautiful SlateTiled Floor which he discovered when they started changing the carpet.Didsbury is a suburban area of Manchester
, England, on the north bank of the River Mersey, 4.5 miles south of Manchester city centre.
As soon as our customer discovered the slate stone floor, he wanted to keep it but unfortunately it was covered with carpet underlay adhesive, paint and some plaster, so off he went to online and luckily found us Quality Tile Care
from Google Search.
For cleaning this slate stone floor we used our strong alkaline cleaner, which we sprayed on floor and left it breaking down dirt for about 15 - 20 minutes. This was followed by scrubbing the stone floor with our black scrubbing pad fitted to rotary machine. Rotary machine cleaning was followed by grout cleaning with our specially designed grout brush and then we rinsed the slate tiled floor with clean water.
As normally, most of the adhesive was around the edges and we didn't want to damage the skirting boards, so we used our steamer and scrubbed the edges by hand. Scrubbing all edges by hand is a long process but deffinitely worth it if you desire quality finish. After all floor was properly scrubbed we rinsed the tiles and grout couple of times with clean water to neutralise chemicals and get all dirt off the floor.
Once all cleaning was done, we left the floor to dry till the next day.
Next day on return, we used our damp tester to make sure all stone tiles and grout were damp free. Unfortunately there were couple of areas that needed drying out with heat gun.
Once the slate floor was dry, we started sealing. For sealing we used the matt solvent based colour enhancing impregnating sealer because customer wanted to keep the slate floor with as natural look as possible. Also they had a dog, so the topical sealer would have made it slippery for the dog. This slate floor took 3 generous coats of the sealer and as usual we left the sealer to soak in for about 20 minutes and then wiped the excess off with soft cotton cloths.
Customer was extremely happy with the result of our Tile Cleaning and Sealing Service and offered us some more work in his bathroom, which of course we accepted.
