NATURAL STONE FLOOR TILE & GROUT CLEANING IRELAND

Natural stone floor cleaning covers a full range of floor tile including:

• Marble floor tile and grout cleaning.

• Sandstone floor tile and grout cleaning,

There are lots of variations with these floors but the above is the main four natural stone floors.

As with all natural stone floor great care must be taking to ensure that the right cleaning procedure is used to give the desired result and not to damage the surface or the finish of the tile. In some cases we may have to employ our restoration process to clean and refinish your natural stone floor. This is a process that we use call diamond grinding and diamond polishing. please see more about this process at our sister website www.thefloorcleaningcompany.com

CASE STUDY: NATURAL STONE FLOOR AND TILE CLEANING ARMAGH

Mr Wright from Armagh contacted us with a traventine floor that had been down 11 years over the years it had become dull lifeless and owning 2 dogs didnt help matters

On pre inspection it was apparent that the stone floor needed some work and after consultation we where advised to go ahead.

We first stripped the floor back to the original stone surface deep cleaned all the grout, then gave the floor a light diamond hone just to even up the surface and take out any scratches in the floor we then proceed to diamond polish the floor to a satin finish, to give a more natural look and help bring out some of the natural colour of the floor.
