Cleaning Limestone Tiled Floor in Fulham

This Limestone tiled floor hadn’t been cleaned properly for 5 years and we were tasked to clean and reseal, hopefully you can appreciate the improvement in the photographs.

Cleaning Limestone Floor Tiles

The first part was to scrub the Limestone tiles with a rotary machine fitted with a black scrubbing pad and a solution of Tile Doctor Pro-Clean which is a strong multi-purpose alkaline cleaning product designed for use on stone. A strong dilution of Pro-Clean can remove sealer but it was apparent some sealer was still present on parts of the floor so Tile Doctor Remove and Go which is dedicated to remove coatings was applied to remove the remaining seal.


The floor was then washed properly with clean water to expel any cleaning products and we then used the Twister Burnishing Pad system with a rotary machine to complete the cleaning process and polish the floor. The pads come in four different colors and you work your way through them one by one until the floor is thoroughly cleaned and polished.

Sealing Limestone Floor Tiles

Once the floor was dry we set about sealing it using two coats of Tile Doctor Ultra Seal which is a no-sheen natural look penetrating sealer designed to provide maximum stain protection on natural stone floors including Limestone, Granite and Marble. The final step was to buff the floor to a nice shine with a rotary machine fitted with a white pad.

The client was extremely happy with the result and has since recommended us to others.
