Why do you need a sealer?

Although stone is usually thought of as “hard,” it is a porous material. Natural stone has varying degrees of porosity depending on the type. If left unsealed, spills and everyday messes can easily penetrate the surface. The liquid eventually evaporates, but the stain is left behind.

Highly acidic substances such as orange juice, coffee, and wine will also etch sensitive stones and leave a dull mark. This is especially true of marble. Acid resistant stones such as granite will not etch.

The best way to prevent stains is to treat the surface with a protective sealer. The sealer fills in the pores and repels spills on the surface, allowing you time to completely wipe it away.
