Either, how often should you seal Indian sandstone?
The short answer: No. The long answer: Natural stone has survived for 1000's of years without any chemical treatments, so it's unlikely to fall to pieces without a layer of sealant that some suppliers insist it needs.
For good measure, can I use a pressure washer on Indian sandstone? Yes you can. A jet washer or pressure washer is an ideal way of cleaning Indian sandstone.
Briefly, how often should you seal sandstone?
If water absorbs immediately, you should apply a few coats of sealant each year and be quick to wipe up spills to avoid staining. If it takes 5 – 10 minutes for the water to absorb, you should still apply several coats of sealant, but you can reapply every 3 – 5 years.

Short answer, no! Leading paving manufacturers Marshalls and Stonemarket don't recommend coatings and sealants for their sandstone paving. ... Decent quality non-porous sandstone just needs a regular clean to keep it looking good for years. If the patio slabs you are looking at require sealing, you need to ask why.
Washing Indian sandstone slabs with a pressure washer is easy – just follow these steps: Remove furniture from your slabs. Sweep the area clean. Connect your power washer with a tap and turn on.
When it comes to versatility of use, sandstone and limestone are both great choices – their strength, durability and range of finishes and colours mean they can adapt to almost any style of garden. Sandstone makes fantastic patio and garden path paving for any property type, contemporary or traditional.
An impregnating sealer contains resins that are transported by water or solvents that penetrate the stone's surface. A solvent-based impregnator is able to penetrate stone at a greater depth, but a residual odor can linger, which can be annoying in a kitchen or other living spaces.
In short, all natural stone surfaces need to be sealed periodically. This is because stone is naturally a porous material and can absorb bacteria, food particles, and liquids that we use throughout our home.
Due to the porous nature of the sandstone, use a sealer that is deep penetrating. Pour the sealer in to a clean spray bottle, and then spray the sandstone pavers down with it. Wait a few minutes, and then wipe them down with a dry sponge.
There are several problems with the dot and dab method: There are gaps beneath the stone, where water can collect. ... Indian stone is porous. So the moisture underneath the stone starts to seep into it, which causes salt and moisture to come out of the top of the stone.
Acidic or other harsh chemicals are bad for sandstone, as well as greasy or oily stuff. It can stain the Sandstone, especially if the stone is not sealed with a sealant. If you are going to use sandstone for a countertop surface, do use placemats for your ceramic or silver utensils to avoid scratching the surface.
We recommend vacuuming the surface first, then spraying a light later of chlorine or cleaner onto the surface of the material, letting it soak for half an hour and rinsing the stone with a light hose (do not use a high pressure hose as this will damage the stone!) and broom or soft brush to gently push the sandstone ...
When thoroughly cleaning your sandstone you can opt for chlorine and water if you are looking at using chemicals. Or you could try vinegar mixed with water for a more natural solution. This will help get rid of any mould, algae or build-up of grime.
Fill a hand-held pump sprayer with a soy-based paint stripper. Although sealer is usually applied in two layers, it's thin enough that most soy-based strippers can penetrate through it into the stone's pores and dissolve the sealer enough for easy removal with a single application.
