Terracotta is very absorbent so it is important to seal the tile every 2-3 years depending on the traffic.
Art of Clean offers 3 different options for cleaning and sealing your Terracotta floor:
- Topical sealant: will scratch over time but easier to maintain – makes mopping easier. Gives a shiny finish but this will dull over time.
- Impregnator: will penetrate the Terracotta and enhance colour but won’t be as easy to maintain the floor compared to the topical sealant – leaves a rougher finish making mopping more difficult.
- Oil and wax: The oil penetrates the stone giving the tile a warmer colour. The wax gives a protective sheen. Please be aware that after a prolonged period of time wax can build up so we always recommend maintenance for this.
