At Cleaning Time we have vast experience in slate floor cleaning, sealing, restoration and polishing throughout the UK using the latest and most advanced knowledge, chemicals and machinery. When we work on your domestic or commercial slate flooring we treat your floor as if it’s our own. Dust sheets are put down on floors leading to the work area, all the walls and kitchen units are masked up with professional materials.
All of the above features combined with the state of your floor, the type of present sealant that’s active on your floor and your requirements will play an important role when deciding on the way to clean your slate floor.
Often slate floors are sealed with topical sealants, in other words, surface sealants making them look artificial and plastic-like, in order for them to achieve that polished look. In some cases sealants & floor polishes have been applied coat up on coat creating a thick stubborn coating. Removing such thick sealers from your floors can often be a major issue making the work time consuming. We use high tech rotary machines specifically designed for cleaning and restoring stone floors. These machines are more powerful and expensive than ordinary floor buffers, weigh more and have more torque which makes stripping and cleaning of your slate floor much easier. But do not be fooled this type of job requires a professional in order to do the job effectively and efficiently.
Once we have professionally stripped the slate floor we leave it to dry naturally. 48 hours later we will apply the sealant of your choice. We also have specialist stone waxes available that enhance the appearance & protection of your beloved slate floor. The finished result? A beautiful slate floor for you to enjoy for years to come.

Here are a few facts about Slate floors
- Slate is a metamorphic rock that’s made for beautiful flooring.
- It is globally used for kitchen, bathroom and hallway floors because of its attractive natural look.
- Slate tiles have a porous structure and therefore need to be sealed following cleaning to prevent stains and marking penetrating into the stone.
- Slate stone is normally acid resistant but extra care is always to be taken when cleaning with acid-based cleaners (especially if sealed).
Basic Slate Floor Maintenance
Slate tiles make a beautiful flooring that adds a touch of high class to any home, business or shop but in order to keep them looking beautiful regular maintenance will be required. Cleaning Time can create the right maintenance program to fit around you. We will also, upon completion of the job, leave you with a bottle of our own branded neutral floor cleaner for your weekly cleaning needs. This brilliant cleaner enhances the appearance of your slate floors.
Here are some cleaning & maintenance tips:
- Never use any household products as they are very likely to damage the sealer or floor finish, due to the high abrasive PH that is within these solutions.
- Dust mop clean regularly to remove dry soils; this will prevent scratches and dulling your slate floor.
- Use a flat microfiber mop for damp mopping, not the traditional cotton string mop that leaves streaks and makes the floor look awful.
- Always use a PH neutral slate floor cleaning product (like the one we provide and sell). Talk to us about our excellent neutral floor cleaner that we have available for you (free with every job booked in with us).
