    Default stain stop! help!!

    hello.
    i hope you can help.
    i recently used Lithofin MN Stain Stop Plus - Sealer & Colour Intensifier.
    i used it on york stone and was wondering what i can use to take it off so i can clean the tiles better as they are very cloudy. it is a problem because i have used it on neighbouring houses and they both look different in appearance due to the fact i applied one side with the stain stop too early after grouting!

    the one next door looks fine as i sealed it two days after grouting. this allowed the stone and grout to be completely dry.
    the problem with the other is i grouted and sealed on the same day. i kept cleaning the tiles (maybe 5-6 times) so although the grout was off them they were still wet although not soaked.
    it would not be a problem except that because they are next door to each other they look different.
    i am hoping i can take off the sealant and clean the stones before re-applying it?!

    Well without sounding too blunt...You did it wrong...as you have found out the hard way...

    Use lithofin stain away and follow the directions.....leave the stone to fully dry before sealing again.
