Sacramento Company Shows How to Clean Slate Bathroom Tile
3 tile installers!
This Sacramento member received a lesson in caring for her slate tile. After neglecting the tile for years, she had to have it regrouted and resealed.
Member Ellen McCormick recently hired highly rated Stoddard Tile Company of Sacramento, Calif., to clean, grout and refinish her shower tile.
Here’s what McCormick had to say about her experience:
My 1950s home came with a remodeled bathroom that is covered in slate tile. I neglected it for three years because I didn’t know how to clean it. The shower floor grout cracked and the tile became chalky, dry and ugly. It was past the point of cleaning. [Stoddard Tile Co.] owner Kim Stoddard responded quickly to my call and on her first visit she spent several hours experimenting with various methods to clean the tile. Once she found the right method, she gave me a price for the full job. Kim returned shortly thereafter to strip everything and regrouted in a matter of hours.
When the tile was dry, she put a completely new finish on the tile and grout. Finally, and most important to me, she left me with a plan to keep the tile clean throughout the next couple of years. Working with Kim was great!
