Things To Do In SW Florida

In short, yes, if you want your grout protected year-round. Grout is porous – think about your grout lines as like sponges all around your floors or backsplashes or showers. Being sponge-like, grout absorbs everything it comes in contact with like dirt, mold, mildew, liquids, debris, and more. That milk you spilled? The grout sucked it up. The mud your kids tracked in. The grout absorbed it. The puddle of pee from your dog? The grout is full of it.

Now, if your grout lines were covered by a grout sealer, the spills, dirt, and so on, wouldn’t absorb into the grout. They would sit on the sealer. The grout sealer protects the grout as it creates a protective seal.

However, if your grout is epoxy grout, it does not need to be sealed. Only cement-based grout should be sealed. Epoxy grout is made up of epoxy resins, epoxy hardeners, and sand/aggregate fillers. Epoxy grout isn’t porous so it will not absorb anything. Epoxy grout is easier to clean than other types of grout. However, epoxy grout is more expensive and harder to install. read more

What is pitted tile? Pitted tile has a rough surface and texture – it is not smooth and sleek feeling or looking. Can this tile’s grout be sealed? It can.

By using Grout Shield’s brush applicator and Grout Shield’s color sealer, you can recolor and seal the pitted tile. Just squeeze the color sealer into the applicator all over the tile and grout lines and into the pits of the tile. Then, take your hand and spread the excess around and make sure it’s filling all the pits. Then, you take a moist chamois and white off the excess in circular motions.  Finally, seal it off with a clear grout sealer. You can transform your darkened pitted tiles to a brighter color that is more uniform and clean looking.

The color sealer is a penetrating sealer designed to revitalize and restore the desired color to your grout and pitted tile.

Grout Shield’s color sealer is a colorant and sealer all in one. It will change the look of your tile while also protecting it. It can even make the pits look smaller and less pronounced. read more
