Why Choose Cleaning Time Hinckley?

Here at Cleaning Time in Hinckley, we have a tried and tested cleaning and restoration program, that we have created specifically for Slate stone tiles. This natural stone is popular not only for its stunning looks, but also for its hard wearing factors. Slate is finely grained foliated metamorphic rock. Slate tiles tend to come in black or either coloured containing reds, blues and greens. When Slate is appropriately sealed for long lasting life, they then exhibit a deep and lustrous sheen. They can also be presented as polished, high honed or low honed. When properly sealed with a correct Slate sealer, it should be a straightforward and simple cleaning process. If your floor becomes heavily soiled and stained or lacks lustre then we highly suggest calling us, this way we can give your floor a professional, deep clean and return your floor to its former glory.

Our 8 Steps To Success Cleaning Method:

• We respectfully request that the flooring area to be cleaned and restored is completely empty of all furniture, unless by previous arrangement

• On arrival we carry out a full risk assessment, then discuss any issues

• The first stage of the process is a full audit of the flooring highlighting and identifying any possible pre-existing damage or problem areas that will require special treatment.

• When happy we mask up and protect all areas, skirts etc. as prevention is always better.

• We then fully clean the stone with relevant pads and a neutral cleaner rinsing and extracting with a pressurised water vortex system; this extracts all the dirt and residue.

• We then neutralise and fully dry the areas using high powered air movers.

• We then seal the flooring by hand using a natural co-polymer seal in gloss or natural, or a colour enhancing impregnator as applicable.

• We repeat the sealing process 3 to 5 times as applicable.
