Some facts about Slate floors

• Slate is a metamorphic rock that makes for beautiful flooring
• It is widely used for kitchen and bathroom floors because of its attractive look
• Slate has a porous structure and therefore has to be sealed following cleaning to prevent stains and marking
• Slate is normally acid resistant but care is to always be taken when cleaning with acid-based cleaners

All of the above features combined with the current state of your floor, the type of the present sealer and your requirements will play an important role when deciding on the way to approach your slate floor cleaning.

Often slate floors are sealed with topical, or in other words, surface sealers making them look artificial and plastic-like. In some cases sealers & floor polishes have been applied coat up on coat creating a thick coating. Removing such sealers from your floors can often pose an issue making the work time consuming and laborious.

How we clean slate floors

We use mono rotary machines specifically designed for cleaning and restoration of stone floors. These machines are more powerful than ordinary floor buffers, weigh more and have more torque which makes stripping and cleaning of your slate floor “A BREEZE”.

Once we have stripped the floor we leave it to dry naturally. 24-48 hours later we will apply the sealer of your choice. We also have specialist stone waxes available that enhance the appearance & protection to your floor. The finished result is a beautiful slate floor for you to enjoy for years to come.

Slate floor maintenance

Slate tiles make a beautiful flooring that adds a touch of class to any home, but in order to keep them beautiful regular maintenance will be required.

Cleaning Bros can design the right maintenance program to fit around your circumstances. We will also, upon completion of the job, leave you with a bottle of neutral floor cleaner for your daily or weekly cleaning. This cleaner enhances the appearance of your slate floors while adding a lovely smell to your rooms.

Cleaning & maintenance tips:

• Never use household products as they are very likely to damage the sealer and floor finish
• Dust mop clean frequently to remove dry soils and particles; this will prevent scratches and general dulling.
• Use a flat microfiber mop for damp mopping, not the traditional cotton string mop that leaves streaks
• Always use PH neutral terracotta floor cleaning products. Talk to us about our excellent neutral floor cleaner that we have available for you (free with every job booked).
