  • Important Notes: The applications of Proper Sealers for natural stone DO NOT add any SHINE to your stone. Their purpose is to make cleanup of any dark liquid spills easier before they can possible stain your stone and grout. In addition, SEALERS DO NOT PREVENT FUTURE ETCHING (dullness due to spilling of any acidic liquid of food.)
