I had 3 floors tiled with quarry tiles a while back. They had a coat of sealer before grout but then during grouting the tiler made a right mess of them leaving me to sort it out! After a silly amount of time cleaning the marks and excess grout off I started to seal again with a cloth...

Many thanks,

Hi, I am laying Indian Riven Rainbow sandstone on the ground both inside and out but am getting conflicting advice about when to seal.
