Last but not the least; use a grout sealer. Brush the sealer using a small foam paint brush. Don’t forget the grout lines. Grout sealer prevents any kind of moisture or dirt to scum. It will keep the grout neat and clean. You can apply 2 grouts of sealer to make it look clean and bright. Wait for around 20 minutes to do second coat once the first coat is applied. Start with the similar spot and work your way towards the room. Start with the same spot and work your way out. This process also gives drying time between applications and ensures that you don’t miss even a single spot.
