Strip, Clean and Seal Slate Floor
Clean and Seal Slate
Seal and enhance an interior slate
Homeowners across Austin and Central Texas trust Santa Fe Floor Care of Austin for professional natural stone restoration and slate floor cleaning services. In this project, our team revitalized a dull and stained slate surface that had lost its protective finish. The transformation restored the stone’s natural color depth, sheen, and protection—making it both beautiful and easier to maintain.
The Problem
Our Austin homeowner contacted us about their slate flooring, which had become dull, peeling, and heavily soiled over time. The surface had lost its seal, leaving it vulnerable to staining, fading, and moisture damage. Years of everyday wear and exposure to cleaning residues had also masked the stone’s natural color variation.
Our Process
At Santa Fe Floor Care of Austin, we follow a meticulous, multi-step stone restoration process using professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly stone-safe products.
-
Inspection & Prep: We evaluated the slate’s existing condition, identifying worn sealant and buildup of old coatings.
-
Deep Cleaning & Stripping: Our team used non-acidic, biodegradable cleaners to strip away dulling layers, revealing the natural texture of the slate beneath.
-
Detail Rinsing & Neutralization: We carefully neutralized the surface to ensure an even, residue-free base before sealing.
-
Enhancing & Sealing: Finally, we applied a premium color-enhancing sealer to enrich the stone’s natural tones and provide durable, long-lasting protection against spills and traffic.
Our trained technicians take pride in their craftsmanship, ensuring that every inch of stone is cleaned and sealed to perfection without altering its natural surface characteristics.
The Results
The results were remarkable. The once faded slate now displays vibrant, deep coloration with a clean, consistent finish. The newly sealed surface repels moisture, resists stains, and enhances reflectivity.
The homeowner was thrilled:
“Our floors look brand new again! Santa Fe Floor Care brought back the natural beauty we hadn’t seen in years.”
