Seal Grout

 

Applying a sealer to your tile grout is a necessary step to make sure that your work looks good for years to come. It's easy to do.

If your grout is brand new be sure to let it cure for forty-eight hours before you seal it. If it's not new, clean it well to be sure that it's free of dirt, grease and residue. Then let it dry completely before you apply the sealer.

Once you've prepped the area, think application, depending upon the size of the area there are several applicators that you can use. You can choose a specially designed applicator bottle that dispenses the sealer into a small brush so that you can get a nice even application. You can also choose a chisel tip foam paintbrush, or try a paint roller that is designed to fit into corners. Whichever tool you decide to work on, work slowly and use long even strokes to apply the sealer.

If you get any on the surrounding tile, wipe it up with a soft, clean cloth or a paper towel.

4. Let the sealer dry for 2-3 hours and then repeat the process for an additional two coats.
