Special service required to restore a "cleanable" surface
Tilelok application
Before and After
Professional MARBLELIFE Service
Ceramic tile may be hard but over time it will wear, and when it does it creates a dull dirty appearing finish. Once damaged no cleaner will restore a cleanable surface until addressed. GOOD NEWS! We can re-glaze your tile surface to restore its original appearance, and even enhance cleanability and anti-slip performance.
This condition is often accompanied by stained grout that is also proving difficult to maintain or clean.
MARBLELIFE can restore these surfaces, and even update your finish to a clean, cleanable, uniform gloss appearance that requires no waxing and behaves like an original tile, but with superior anti-slip and anti-mold performance.
TileLok serves to re-glaze the ceramic surface filling in scratches and wear marks, and can even be used to upgrade a matte or semi-gloss finish to a gloss finish. The new finish is durable, scratch resistant, mold-resistant, and provides an anti-slip coefficient of friction centered within the Veteran Administrations recommended optimal range for a beautiful, cleanable, enhanced tile surface, without the cost, dust or loss-of-use of replacement and can be done in hours versus days.
MARBLEIFE COLORSEAL – addresses your grout by upgrading its seal to an acid-resistant colorable seal capable of restoring better color consistency than when the grout was originally put in with the added benefits of being resistant to acid attack consistenly cleanable grout line even if you do bring an acid cleaner onto the surface later.

Surface appears heavily marred, whitened and non-uniform or discolored in appearance. This goes beyond the normal worn or scratched waxed floor. Good News! We can restore this surface to new, and even enhance it to resist a re-occurrance.
At this point, one has a decision to make. Continue to use archaic 1950 technology waxes that require constant buffing and then must be stripped and re-applied, OR transition to MARBLELIFE’s VinylGuard durable vinyl coatings that are scuff-free, require no buffing, and so durable that generally these surfaces can be more than a year before needing any touch-up. We stopped waxing cars years ago, as new chip resistant coating came to market, its time to transition your floor in the same manner.
This provides most facilities a 30-40% total cost to maintain savings, while also virtually eliminating stripping and wax wastes for a more environmental solution.
As seen in the images the restoration process can restore the original tile color and then provide a long-lasting protection. Generally, no additional services are needed for a year – even in high traffic conditions in a school or hotel service area.
Restore a long-term cleanable solution that can be managed with ease.

If you found your situation in the images above, you already know what is needed to restore a “cleanable” surface.

Know you terms – this can facilitate selection of the correct tool or product.
- Cleaners are designed to remove everything from the surface without depositing waxes or oils.
- Polishes are designed to smooth the surface in order to better reflect light. These are not coatings designed to lay on the surface but being softer than stone wear and fail, but rather a polish seeks to smooth the hard stone surface for maximum longevity.
- Sealers (penetrating) are designed to fill in grout pores to prevent dirt and stain from penetrating, but not to lay on the surface (topical).
- Specialty Cleaners are designed to address special situations which exist once, until we address it, so you can return to a cleanable surface. So Maxout is designed to lift dirt and oils out of pores. Soap Scum is engineered specifically to cut through soap or burnt on grime to restore a soap and grime free surface to a cleanable one.
MARBLELIFE products therefore use no acids, no waxes or oil deposits.
