Surrey Expert Details the Cleaning of a Victorian Hallway Floor in Surrey
This client from Farnham had been in touch regarding their Victorian tiled hallway which needed deep cleaning and re-sealing. As usual I paid them a visit, surveyed the floor, and provided a quote for renovating it which they were happy to accept, there were no broken tiles to remove and replace so it was a straightforward clean and seal. It was a lovely floor which had been laid in a herringbone pattern with lovely black and gold floral inserts and a beautiful green border.
Whilst discussing dates it became apparent that they were planning on having some decorating done in the same area, so I recommended they book me in for a date after the decorators had left. It’s always good practice to get the floor cleaned after your last tradesperson has left, decorators especially have a habit of not covering floors properly.
Cleaning a Victorian Tiled Hallway Floor
I turned up on the agreed date and was pleasantly surprised to see there were only a few paint splashes on the floor so I wondered if my comments to the owner must have been passed onto the decorators. The hallway led onto several rooms many of which had new carpets, so with my own advice in mind I made sure to cover them with a plastic sheet before starting work.

The first job was to remove any existing sealer from the tiles using Tile Doctor Remove and Go, this is brushed onto the tiles, left for ten to fifteen minutes, and then scrubbed in with a black pad fitted to a rotary floor machine running at slow speed. The resultant slurry was then rinsed off and extracted with a wet vacuum. It was a small floor so I planned to seal the floor later that day and so I only used a minimal amount of water and used the wet vacuum to remove as much moisture as possible.

Next, I gave the floor an acid rinse by carefully smearing Tile Doctor Acid Gel over the tiled surface. Leaving it to dwell for half an hour yet keeping it moist with water. I then introduced my weighted burnishing machine. Circling the floor, it slightly cuts the tile creating a slurry of tile and dirt. The pads can struggle to get right into the corners so once that was done, I scooted around the edges hand cleaning them with a scrubbing brush and ensuring any paint splashes the decorators had left were removed.
All the waste was extracted, and the floor given a rinse with hot water. I left a small heater on them while I had my lunch. As the gel doesn’t penetrate the tiles like fluid it didn’t take long for the floor to dry sufficiently enough for sealing.
Sealing a Victorian Tiled Hallway Floor
Finally, I applied three coats of Tile Doctor Seal and Go Extra. This is a hard-wearing colour enhancing sealer. Each coat takes twenty to thirty minutes to dry. After the final coat I ask that it’s not walked on for a good hour.

Once done to the floor looked really clean and the new sealer should keep it that way for many years to come. Before leaving I took time to discuss maintenance cleaning and of course get their feedback which they gladly gave and is copied below:
“Great service. Rupert was professional, informative, friendly clean worker who made a great job of cleaning our original Victorian tiled floor. Tile Doctor were recommended to me by a friend, and I would definitely recommend them and Rupert for tile cleaning.”
For the aftercare of Victorian tiled floors, I recommended the use of Tile Doctor Neutral Tile Cleaner which due to its neutral ph makes it idea for the regular cleaning of sealed tiles. Many of the products you will find in supermarkets are simply too strong and will prematurely erode the sealer on a tile and so best avoided.

Anyway, everything from the house getting flooded is all cleaned up and the towels are all washed and clean and I'm going the fuck to BED because I'm exhausted I really didn't need for my yard to get under two feet of water in order to motivate me to fucking mop the floors but it worked i fucking guess so ?

hiding from security is boring, especially because of the fact that im not moving anymore so i can feel my leg hurting. -Sophie
Yeah. You’d think being in a life-or-death situation would be more exciting after the chase. My wrist still hurts, but at least now I can use that ‘swipe to text’ thing?

in recent days I’ve become so obsessed with the idea of my own home that I even made a pinterest so I can stare at little rooms filled with little things and imagine it’s mine

FLOORS ARE FINALLY DOOOOOOOOONE! 😪 Now I just have to clean up and wait for insulation to be put in (July 7th) and drywall (July 14th). Painting to be done after. I won't be able to get all my stuff up into my room until everything is done, but we're getting there at least. One step closer to my DD themed bedroom!

“why is my vacuum not working?” “why is my vacuum super hot?”
because, apparently, you have to regularly clean the filter. this isn’t something i was told needs to be done growing up (we had a bag vac) so is this just common knowledge?
