Grout Sealing

You should first seal the vertical tile surfaces {like|such as} backsplashes and shower walls. 

{Trying|Seeking} to {keep|maintain} these vertical grout joints saturated with sealer for 5-10 minutes can be a challenge {which is|that’s} not always achievable. Try to get as much {sealer into|bleach to} the vertical grout joints as possible without {allowing|letting} the sealer to dry on the surface of the tiles. 

{Continually applying sealer|Gently applying sealant} to the vertical grout lines while {continually|always} wiping {up |}the excess sealer off the tile surfaces {is|would be} the {best|ideal} {method for|way of} sealing grout on vertical tile surfaces.

After sealing the vertical tile surfaces then you {can|may} use the roller wheel applicator to seal the grout {on|onto} the {horizontal|flat} tile surfaces. 

It is {much|significantly} {easier|simpler} to keep the grout saturated with sealer on the {horizontal|flat} tile surfaces {like|such as} tile countertops and tile {floors|flooring}. These horizontal surfaces {will|may} also get dirty more quickly so {it is|it’s} more important to {thoroughly|completely} seal these surfaces to protect the grout from {becoming|getting} dirty and stained.

After the grout has been saturated with sealer for 5-10 minutes then you {need|want} to wipe off the excess sealer {from|in} the {tile and grout|grout and tile} surfaces. 

{The easiest|The simplest} way to {wipe|wash} off the excess grout sealer is to {just|simply} use ordinary paper towels. Roll up about {10|ten} sheets of paper towels and use them to {wipe|wash} down the tile and grout surfaces. When your sheets of paper towels {get|become} {saturated|soaked} with sealer then {simply|only} throw them away and {get|find} a {new|fresh} wad of paper towels and {continue|keep} cleaning up the excess grout sealer.

Remove all {of |}the sealer {off of|from} the tile and grout surfaces and {ensure|make sure} that there are no puddles of sealer left in the grout lines. 

Continue wiping the tile {until|before} all traces of {the|this} grout sealer are gone and {there is|there’s absolutely} no grout sealer haze left on the tile surfaces. {It is|It’s} important {to not|not to} leave any traces of sealer residue on the tile surfaces. 

{Look at|Examine} the tiles from different angles to {ensure|make sure} that there {is no|isn’t any} sealer {residue or sealer|bleach or residue} haze left on the tile surfaces.

After {you are|you’re} done sealing the {entire|whole} area then do a final {inspection|review} to check for grout sealer haze or sealer residue left on the tile surfaces. 

If you {see|find} a grout sealer haze on the tiles then you can apply some more sealer to the {areas|regions} of sealer haze. This will reactivate the grout sealer so {that |}the grout sealer haze can be removed. 

After the grout sealer haze {has been|was} reactivated {you can|it is possible to} wipe up the grout sealer haze with paper towels.

You should {let|allow} the sealer dry for {about|around} 3 hours before walking on the tile floor or using any of the tile surfaces. 

Also try to {prevent|reduce} spilling any liquids or {getting|obtaining} any dirt or contaminates on the grout lines {for|to get} a full 24 hours after sealing them. You {should|ought to} see the grout lines to lighten up and {go back|return} to their original {color|colour} as the grout sealer dries {in|from} the grout lines.
