Victorian Tiled Hallway Floor Cleansing in Weeping Cross

This classic Victorian tiled floor was set up in the hallway of a house in the town of Weeping Cross, Staffordshire. The floor was in pretty good condition but had become dull and was in need of a deep clean to put some life back in the tiles, there was also manifestation of an old adhesive around the edges indicating it had been covered by carpet at some point.

Cleaning Victorian Floor Tiles

Initially, I had to remove the glue which I did with a small black scrubbing pad and a mixture of Tile Doctor Remove & Go combined with NanoTech UltraClean and a scraper.


The Remove and Go NanoTech worked well on the unyielding adhesive so I went onto clean the rest of the floor using the same product combination but this time worked in using a rotary machine fitted on slow speed with a black scrubbing pad. The resulting soiled solution was vacuumed up using a wet pick up machine and the floor left to dry overnight.

Sealing Victorian floor Tiles

The following day, I mopped the floor with a damp mop and then when it was dry applied four coats of Tile Doctor Seal & Go which is a recommended protective sealer for Victorian tiles and leaves a nice shine on the floor. Obviously, it looks fantastic and when the owners came home they were thrilled with the results and left the comment below on the Tile Doctor feedback system.

"Trevor has done a great job with our tiled floor, we are so pleased with the results! We would definitely recommend him!”
