Cleaning slate floors is quite an individual process. Slate tiles are generally different to other types of natural stone. And therefore, it requires a bit of an individual approach. The finishes on slate flooring tiles vary from rustic and traditional to very smooth slates. As you can imagine, these two different tiles will have commonalities and differences when considering cleaning and restoration.
Cleaning Slate Floors – A Top Tip:
To avoid scratches and building up of dirt, regular cleaning is vital. Slate can contain a number of vibrant colours which. These tones can be beautifully enhanced when cleaning and sealing the slate. Specialist slate sealer and colour enhancers will also rejuvenate and protect the natural look of the slate.
This was certainly the case with this project that we were able to complete in Hunsdon, Hertfordshire. The before image shows really well how the tiles looked dull and lifeless. Regular cleaning can become more problematic if a stone’s seal has deteriorated. As well as looking dull, they may never really look clean. Even after hours invested in the process.

The after image shows the transformation that we were able to achieve. The cleaning process brought back the incredible tones and colours of the individual tiles. The grout lines shone, and the floor really offered the ‘wow’ factor. It is often hard to imagine just what your stone floor will look like as we get used to their deterioration.
