Hospitality at its core is about creating a welcoming space. When entryways, kitchens and bathrooms have stained stone, tile and grout, they are far from welcoming. Be sure to protect all your jobs with a quick application of a penetrating sealer, because as the saying goes, an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure.
In entryways, high-traffic everyday elements come in from the outside — easily trapped in the porous surfaces of tile, grout and stone. Without penetrating sealers, despite the best clean-up efforts, exposed floors and even walls become darker over time. Now imagine all the potential stains in bathrooms and showers — from soaps and hard water to all sorts of other splashes. Meanwhile, kitchens have everyday exposure to cooking oil splatter and the occasional juice or sauce spill.
