At Tile Doctor we see Sandstone used at lot as Kitchen flooring, however as with any natural stone it needs to be sealed to protect it and bring out its beauty and colour.
One of the biggest problems we find with stone flooring in a kitchen is that the sealer applied is stripped away by the continuous use of cleaning agents not designed for this type of surface.

Sandstone Maintenance
ROUGH/RIVEN SANDSTONE |
SMOOTH MATT FINISH |
To remove any excess sealer before cleaning use Tile Doctor Remove & Go Sealer remover.
Use Tile Doctor Pro-Clean Tile & Grout cleaner to effectively clean tiles, highly effective against Wax Sealers, Grease, Grime and general dirt build up. Remove any cleaning solution using a wet-dry vac machine (any cleaning solution left on the surface may impact the performance of the sealer) then neutralise floor with clean water prior to sealing, remove with a wet-dry Vac machine and allow to dry for 12 hours or more. For a low sheen finish apply Tile Doctor Seal & Go sealer using a paintpad applicator and tray. Sandstone tiles may require up to 4 or 5 coats, always allow to dry before applying the next coat. Use a water test to achieve full cure sealability (F.C.S.). |

Apply Tile Doctor Colour Grow sealer using a clean dry terry cloth (not the fluffy variety). Rub sealant into the tile and allow to dry before applying a second coat. Use a water test to achieve full cure sealability (F.C.S.). |
Most sealers break down after 2-3 years (depending on usage and cleaning products used) so for regular cleaning use a sealer friendly cleaning product such as Neutral Tile Cleaner which has been especially formulated for the regular cleaning of Sealed Stone and Tile surfaces keeping them fresh with a pleasant mint scent.
