Quarry Tile Cleaning

A classic hard wearing tile often utilised in high traffic areas such as reception areas, toilets and outdoor patio areas and porches. Although hard wearing Quarry tiles are often neglected and end up hidden under years of grime; however all is not lost they can be restored, see below for details:

Quarry Tile Maintenance

Deep Cleaning Quarry Tiles

  • To remove old sealers and other coatings use Tile Doctor Remove & Go Sealer remover.
  • Clean the floor using Tile Doctor Pro-Clean Heavy Duty Tile and Grout Cleaner which is highly effective against Wax Sealers, Grease, Grime and general dirt build up.
  • For difficult floors mix Pro-Clean with Nanotech Ultra Clean for a double whammy cleaning solution. Nanotech-Ultra Clean incorporates Nano technology to help lift the dirt from the tiles (it really works), especially useful for those hard to clean floors where the dirt has ingrained itself over many years.
  • Extract the soiled cleaning solution using a wet vacuum and then neutralise the floor by rinsing with water again using a wet vacuum to remove as much water was possible after.  (Any cleaning products left on the surface may impact the performance of the sealer).  Allow the tiles to dry out for at least 12 hours or more.
  • To resolve Efflorescence issues where white salts appear on the surface of the tile please read the information on the Treating Efflorescence web page.

Sealing Quarry Tiles

  • For a low sheen finish on internal floors apply Tile Doctor Seal & Go sealer using a paintpad applicator and tray. 4 to 5 coats of sealant may be required, always allow to dry before applying further coats.
  • For a low sheen finish on external floors or those with damp issues apply Tile Doctor Seal & Go Extra sealer using a paintpad applicator and tray. 4 to 5 coats of sealant may be required, always allow to dry before applying furhter coats.
  • Alternatively for external areas or a matt finish use Tile Doctor Ultra Seal sealer using a paintpad applicator and tray. Slate tiles may require up to 2 or 3 coats, always allow to dry before applying the next coat.
  • Use a water test to check for full cure sealability (F.C.S.).  (A drop of water will form a bubble on fully sealed floor)

Maintenance Cleaning

Most sealers break down after 2-3 years (depending on usage and cleaning products used) so for regular cleaning use a sealer friendly cleaning product such as Tile Doctor Neutral Tile Cleaner which has been especially formulated for the regular cleaning of Sealed Stone and Tile surfaces keeping them fresh with a pleasant scent.
