Slate Cleaning, Sealing & Repair Services
Slate restoration in Chicago usually means undoing years of the wrong products. Layers of acrylic topical sealer yellow, peel and trap dirt, leaving the floor looking blotchy and powdery. As professional slate floor cleaners in Chicago, we strip those coatings, deep-clean the natural cleft texture and the grout lines, and rinse the floor completely. Slate tile cleaning in Chicago is followed by a color-enhancing or natural-look penetrating sealer, depending on the finish you want. Slate floor restoration in Chicago also includes re-grouting, re-setting loose pieces and slate tile repairs in Chicago for flaking or cracked tiles in kitchens, entryways, sunrooms and exterior stairs.
Can you strip old coatings and reseal slate floors?
Yes. Stripping failed acrylic and wax coatings is the most common part of slate restoration in Chicago. We use stone-safe strippers, agitation and extraction to remove every layer, let the floor dry fully, then apply a penetrating sealer or color enhancer that will not peel like the old topical finish.
Why does my slate floor look dull or powdery?
A dull, chalky slate floor is usually a worn topical sealer, efflorescence pushing minerals to the surface, or natural spalling of the cleft layers. Professional slate floor cleaners in Chicago identify which one you have; in most cases stripping, cleaning and resealing restores a rich, even color.
