Details of an original
Flagstone Floor cleaning job below from a Victorian House in the City of Lancaster, we often find flagstone floor tiles in kitchens and hallways and in this case they were in the hallway. You can see from the photographs below that the flagstone floor tiles were in a very bad state and it became clear that no amount of cleaning was really going to remove the decades of trapped dirt embedded in the pores of the Sandstone.
Cleaning the Flagstone Floor
To get over this problem it was necessary to remove the top surface of the flagstone using a milling pad together with a small amount of
Tile Doctor Pro-Clean. The flagstones were then washed down with water which was then removed using a wet and dry vax machine. There was no damp proof course under the tiles so I left it to dry for a week before coming back to seal.
Sealing and Restoration of Flagstone Floor
The milling process had opened up the pores in the sandstone flagstone floor tile so to seal it I used 1 coat of
Tile Doctor Colour Grow in order to bring out the colour in the stone and then topped this off wth a further 3 coats of
Tile Doctor Seal and Go.
