What happens if red wine or cooking oil is spilled on the stone?
Don’t worry – a properly sealed stone floor will initially repel the liquid. The silicone sealant will buy you time as it protects the stone with an invisible barrier which means that any liquid will appear as droplets on the surface of the stone. Wipe off the wine or oil immediately and then wash it with warm water and some stone soap. If wine, vinegar of food acid is left on the floor for a period then it may start to penetrate the sealant and etch the stone’s surface. However, any etching normally disappears in time as the stone is walked over.
