Terracotta cleaning and sealing

Terracotta, made from natural clay, brings a warm and rustic charm to any home. Its earthy tones and timeless appeal make it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, terracotta is highly porous—one of the most absorbent materials in flooring—and requires proper cleaning and sealing to prevent damage and deterioration.

At Hamilton’s, we specialise in the professional cleaning and sealing of terracotta floors, ensuring they remain beautiful and durable for years to come.

Why clean and seal terracotta?

If you’re asking, “How do I clean my terracotta floor?”, the answer starts with understanding its extremely porous nature. Terracotta’s high absorbency means it can easily trap water, dirtm and stains, leading to long-term damage if left untreated. Regular cleaning and sealing are essential to preserve its beauty and guard against discolouration and wear.

When cleaning terracotta, it’s crucial to use appropriate methods and professional-grade products. Professional cleaning ensures the complete removal of dirt and stains without compromising the delicate surface.

How to seal a terracotta floor

Sealing terracotta is vital due to its extreme porosity. At Hamilton’s, we use a combination of deep-penetrating and topical sealers to provide maximum protection. Penetrating sealers work by soaking into the terracotta, creating an internal barrier against moisture, while topical sealers create a protective shield on the surface. This two-step process helps prevent stains, moisture damage, and daily wear and tear.

Sealed terracotta is much easier to maintain, and regular mopping will keep it looking fresh without the worry of stains or spills.
