Some quarry tile manufacturers say you shouldnt seal quarry tiles. For the grout, you can buy an aerosal grout sealer from a tile shop.

50/50 boiled linseed oil and white spirits..(old school.. )..or
aquamix/lithofin/hg...products..etc..

cheers guys. Now i have heard before about linseed oil/white spirit but thought i was being wound up do you mix it yourself

[tictic]

mix it yourself apply with a lint free clothe..(jay clothes)..do small areas at a time,but dont soak the tiles to much,will take a few runs at it, till fully sealed..depends on quarry tile quality up to 4-6 times maybe.

wee tip when applying the sealer,..always wear gloves(surgical etc..)..as you dont want to stand back and see your "fingerprints..palm prints"under the seal...
