Soon after moving into a new house, or having finished with the construction or renovation of a place; you require professionals to extensively clean the new place for you to eliminate all the construction damage and dust. This reconstruction often comes with the installation of new tiles in the place as well. Therefore, the question which comes into your mind immediately after calling janitorial service is whether or not you need to strip your new tiles.

The thought of stripping the tiles you just got installed as part of the renovation process seems unnerving to say the least. However, the answer to this query depends on several factors. For starters, the material of tile is considered along with the exact age of the tiles. Moreover, since the tile stripping process requires stripping the already existing sealer and then applying a fresh coat again; it is to be kept in mind that without tile stripping, the process cannot be commenced.

Usually, tile stripping is adopted only when the condition of tiles has reached the point of irrecoverable damage. The process is time consuming, elaborate, and requires a detailed evaluation of the condition of tiles.

In the case of new tiles, most people do not opt to strip tile floors, but under certain circumstances, as mentioned above, it has to be done. A lot of people choose to deeply clean their new tiles and then apply new sealer on them to avoid stripping and satisfying their need to clean the tiles. However, what they don’t realize is that unless the previous layer of sealer is stripped, any new layer applied on top will not prove effective and will just flake away, causing an unsightly situation of tiles.
