Grout is a cementious product that while strong it is also porous. That means that the grout will stain with any oil or liquid spilled on it. Sealant stops that from happening (yeah!). It also limits mold and mildew production in moist areas (like shower grout). I always seal pieces that are used (trays, tables or outdoor pieces) but not usually wall hangings or mirrors.
Most grout sealants (including the one we sell) are clear liquids. You simply brush it over the grout lines (for big tiles, small grout lines) or all over the piece if it is a mosaic. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Buff the tiles dry to avoid them becoming hazy. Repeat until the sealant does not penetrate the grout in 5 minutes (could take 3 coats) buffing the tiles in between coats. I would reapply it annually.
Now get sealing!!
groovy. i like it . its important to bathroom cleaners those mosaic tiles to keep the grout from deteriorating
