I have uneven slate tiles all over my kitchen and lounge spaces. Couple of questions
1. What is a good way to clean these on a regular basis? The moping cloth of the bissel triangular headed steam mop keeps coming off as it hits the rough edges of the slate tiles. Some used an old fashioned mop? which ones?
2. Has anyone used a robo vacuum over these uneven surfaces. Looking to invest in one of them, i have floorboards and carpets in other rooms.
Hi @Sath,
It can be tricky to determine the exact type of sealer just by looking at the tiles, but there are a few methods that might help. First, you can try the water test by placing a few drops of water on a section of the slate. If the water beads up, it’s likely that a non-penetrative, surface-sealing finish was used. If the water absorbs or darkens the tile, it’s more likely a penetrative sealer. Another method is to assess the surface feel and appearance. Non-penetrative sealers usually leave a slightly glossy or matte finish and may feel smooth or waxy to the touch, while penetrative sealers don’t alter the natural feel of the slate as much. You might also try using a small amount of sealer stripper in an inconspicuous area to see how it reacts; this can sometimes help identify the type of existing sealant.
