ViewTerracotta cleaning FAQs
Why has my terracotta floor gone dull and yellow?
Old topical sealers and waxes build up and discolour over time. Stripping these layers and re-sealing with a modern sealer restores the original warmth and a maintainable finish.
Is terracotta sealing necessary?
Yes — terracotta is highly porous and must be sealed to resist staining and moisture; we recommend a sealer suited to its handmade, fired character.
“Repeat customers, here. Our 1926 new home purchase came with well-loved soapstone countertops, cement tile kitchen flooring and exterior Saltillo stairs/walkway — all in need of a refresh. The team was mindful about their work, had a solid plan (some things about our surfaces were “iffy”) and worked hard to bring it all back to the glory days. Beautiful outcomes. The price is fair and the value is priceless. Thank you.”
