That's what I'm hoping, just need a semi sheen and think i can get all the marks out..if not a quick hone, and a light flick over with a twister pad.

bloody hell craig, anyone with a brain will seal a natural stone floor, what happens next time you go to clean it and you cant remove some stains by the cooker

But theres some doubt about that.

It absorded water when cleaned, so it will asborb stains. Mostly sealers are recomended by people selling the stuff.

Remember when people paid thousands to have a penetrating water proofing damp course put in their homes for damp, ment to create a waterproof barrier. Now we are told that was as good as useless.

It may help, but dont think you can make that strong a statment.

Colisuim was never sealed

Cleaned some interior Indian Stone, came up brilliant, so custy recommended me to her friend with the same. Friends didn't come up anywhere near as good. Puzzled at first but after discussion, the reason was evident. She had been resealing it every so often, with what the tilers left her - after she had mopped it, thus sealing in the dirt that the mop had merely spread.

My mate worked on the job, said safety was terrible!

He jacked and went to the pyrimid job!

Dave thats a very good point, if I did want to seal this floor I would have needed to clean much more extensively because as you can see the finish was good and custard over the moon, but in one corner where a rug had been all the time since floor was laid, floor was alot lighter/cleaner, and the rest never got quite back to that so I would have been sealing in some soil.

In 80 ad Titus said to the stone mason make sure you put a sealer on that stone

The stone masons reply no point gov earthquake will destroy it anyway.

NO FLYS ON THE ROMANS LOVELY STRAIGHT ROADS NEVER SEALED UM

I THINK THEY JET WASHED IT EVERY SPRING MIGHT BE MAKING IT UP NOW

Dont forget customers as Dave has mentioned havent a clue about mopping a floor and will likely use bleach.  Regardless of what you put on it make sure they know how to maintain it.
