How can I protect my blue limestone patio or windowsill from rain and dirt?

Blue limestone, also referred to as petit granit, is a favoured choice for outdoor areas like patios and windowsills due to its strength and unique, sophisticated look. However, as a porous stone, blue limestone is prone to weathering. Elements such as rain, grime, and oils can easily seep into the surface, leaving behind hard-to-remove stains. Moreover, exposure to the weather can cause the stone to lose its colour or become lacklustre, detracting from its inherent charm. Therefore, it's crucial to adequately safeguard your blue limestone, especially when it's placed outdoors. But what steps can you take to ensure your patio or windowsill withstands these environmental challenges and retains its aesthetic appeal over time?
