✅ Step 4 (Optional): Apply Grout Sealer
Once your grout is clean and dry, seal it to prevent future buildup. This creates a moisture barrier that repels dirt and mildew.
- Use a small brush or applicator to apply grout sealer.
- Let it cure according to the product instructions (usually 24–48 hours).
🧩 Bonus Tips for Grout Maintenance
- Clean spills quickly to prevent staining.
- Dry wet areas, especially in bathrooms, to stop mold growth.
- Use pH-neutral tile cleaners to avoid damaging grout over time.
- Do a light scrub weekly to prevent buildup between deep cleans.
✨ The Result: Like-New Grout, No Replacement Needed
Deep cleaning your grout may take a bit of time, but it’s one of the most satisfying home refreshes you can do. That once-dull floor or backsplash will suddenly pop—and your whole space will look cleaner and brighter.
So the next time your tile looks tired, don’t assume you need a remodel—just give your grout a powerful deep clean.
