Fila matte seal. I use it on my slate floor all the time

Wouldnt use Fila products myself, if you want it looking natural the Lithofin stainstop would be what i would use.

Cement residue from grouting is difficult to clean from slates with ridges, crevices and holes. Do not use a sealer as a grout barrier (pre-seal). Prevent grout smears, surface scratching and keep grout residue out of surface texture.

We always use a sealer  before we grout, it is easier to remove grout residue from a sealed natural stone as it stop the grout sticking to the surface of the stone. Then once it has been grouted and cleaned we seal a couple of time again.
