Hi, was hoping someone could offer useful advice on preventing cement stains when laying a (first) patio?

Apparently my slabs are quite porous and more susceptible to staining than others?

My supplier convinced me to get marshalls 365 for pointing patio so hopefully pointing not problem, just laying.

Have seen a friends cement stained patio, at first I never noticed but since reading site I've notice it, and,well it looks crap.

Hopefully mine goes ok.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

Indian sandstone, light colours.

Hopefully haven't bitten off more than I can chew.
