QUESTION

Using Sealers to Help Keep Tiles Cleaner and Easier to Maintain - I have ceramic tile in 72 guest rooms. Off white in color so the grout and divots etc. show dirt. I heard to "seal" tile and grout but what brand/type of sealer can I use??

ANSWER

ANSWER - Properly applying sealers to tiles will help in maintaining the tile and grout. The sealer helps prevent staining. The sealer will help reduce the tendency of the tile and grout to pick up dirt, and will make it easier to clean.

I assume you have a glazed ceramic tile, so you want to use a penetrating sealer suitable for that use. Make sure you wipe dry with a lint free cloth within 5 minutes after applying.
