Miracle Sealants 483.6l SG Impregnator - Quart

Very good product.Got this to seal my slate floor.Easy to apply very natural finish and stops the slate flaking.In the bath area applied on the granite floor it works as a sealant and gives a subtle roughness to the surface making it less slippery.

My project: Clean and seal a basement floor after the cats had decided the didn't want to use their litter pan. How much did I need? Approx two quarts for two coats over approx 700 square feet. In other words, 700 sq. ft. per quart. Does it work? Yes, so far. Water beads up beautifully on both the tile and grout that have been treated. It's only been a month so far. How easy was it? Application was easy, but not the cleaning. This is a penetrating sealer, so any stain you leave on the tile or grout will be permanently sealed in. I cleaned the floor by: 1. Spot-cleaning the worst spots (cat pee, yuck) 2. Scrubbing the entire floor by hand with a stiff brush 3. Used a copper wire brush to scrub off the top layer of the dirtiest grout 4. Wiped off excess soap 5. Mopped twice to ensure no soap residue that might interfere with adherence of the sealant Overkill? Maybe, but I wanted to do this right the first time. For 700 sq. ft., It probably took me 20-ish hours to clean, and only 5-10 to apply two coats. Cleaning was the vast majority of the work. The application process: Easy, but a bit tedious I have 12x12 tiles with approx. 1/4 inch grout. That's about 1,500 linear feet of grout (my best guess). Used a small children's paintbrush and carefully painted over all the grout. After each application, waited 5-8 minutes before wiping off. My tiles are completely matte limestone, and so easily soaked in any excess sealant left on the surface. I just had to buff the excess into the face of the tile, and it would soak in nicely. If I had glass or other glossy tiles, I might have had to wipe off 100% of the excess, which would be much more difficult. The Result: Dry to the touch in hours, started walking on it in a few days. Water beads up fantastically and wiping up is easy. The tiles have a *slightly* but barely noticeable increase in the glossy finish after having dried for a few days. The cats haven't peed on it yet, so I don't know how well it will truly work. Recommendations: 1. Ignore the square footage guidelines. What matters is how much *grout* you have, not how much *floor* you have. 2-inch tiles with 1/4 inch grout will need a massive amount of sealant. I had 12-inch tiles so didn't need as much. Make your best estimate and then test before buying what you think might be the right amount. 2. Test a small section first to see how much you need. My tiles and grout were very "thirsty" and soaked it all up easily. I put two coats everywhere, and a third coat on the most heavily trafficked section. Test your tiles first. 3. Use disposable equipment. Latex exam gloves, a plastic cup, cut-up T-shirts and a child's paintbrush were all the supplies I needed. This stuff needs mineral spirits to clean up, which is a major hassle. Disposable = no cleanup. 4. Knee pads! You will be kneeling on a stone floor for hours. Good luck.

Honest review. Our bathroom fitter didn't seal our grout lines. Water was absorbing into the grout and leaking down back of bath. Bought some grout sealer from Topps tiles and applied 4 coats but water was still absorbing in. Searched for best grout sealers and came across this. Bit wary as it has a cancer and reproductive warning on the label and on Amazon description. I opened the windows and wore a face mask and latex gloves. Tipped some product out into an old double cream plastic pot and applied on the grout lines with a paintbrush. Left for 10 minutes and wiped off excess with kitchen towel. Reapplied another coat after 4 hours and left to dry for 36 hours. Used shower and the results were amazing. You can see the water beading up and running over and down the grout lines and tile faces. Absolutely amazing product. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wishes to seal their grout. Dearer than all the other ones but obviously you get what you pay for. The bottle will last a lifetime!!! No more leaks!!! Yay!!!

Pretty happy with it so far. Seems to be working still 6 months later.

Muy fácil de aplicar y en realizad proteja muy bien el mármol. To mismo lo aplique y fue muy sencillo el proceso y después de tres dias, hicimos la prueba con agua, y de verdad lo sella muy bien.
