I installed Vermont green slate - approx. 1000 sq feet 5 years ago - looked great for about 1 year. The high gloss sealer attracks dirt - and regular mopping does not get it clean.

So, I am going to strip it - then experiment with other sealers that are cleanable.

Looking for comments from others who have done this - what type of stripper, methods ect. I think my sealer is Acrylic - not sure though - I purchased at Tile Fantastic in SJ - I could figure it out if critical.

Our house - once this is finished - will be shoeless.

Thanks.

Hi Michel:

You may want to try posting an inquiry at the Tile Advice Forum at http://www.johnbridge.com -- The tile professionals over there are very good in providing advice and really know their stuff.

Good luck,
