    Default Mapedrain for porcelain?

    Staining has been a problem while grouting.

    Will this product temporarily seal the porceain prior to grouting?
    Once applied, grouting completed, do you clean the whole surface of the sealant or is it sealed for good.

    Prefer to ask before trying it, so any guidance will increase my knowledge from zero.

    Not sure what you mean by mapeidrain?

    Seal them prior to grouting but it s isnt a temporary measure.

    Put your sealer on really thin though, not like for travertine or other porous stone. Its sits on the surface and is a bitch to clean off. Get loads of cloth or a big roll of tissue for cleaning

    Been searching and looks like MAPEDRAIN isnīt suitable for porcelain tiles.

    Read back over threads and see Litholin is commonly recommended, but I canīt buy that product here in Spain. I shall try asking about, but it wonīt be easy.
