Answer 1

I would hurry to the hardware store and find some sealer.   I have been in your shoes, scrubbing the grout with a small brush and grout cleaner is no fun.  Sealing it would save you a lot of work later.

Answer 2

I didn't no you put a sealer on grout.  It would be had to do if it has to be done.

Answer 3

the grout takes up water.

the water in the grout will discolor the grout

the sealer prevents water getting into the grout.

about every 2 to 3 years you have to reseal the grout.

just do it

Answer 4

Just go to a hardware store and get a sealer. It is cheap and easy to do.

We had tile in bathrooms for many years before they invented sealers. But a good sealer will help keep the tile grout looking good and the grout will last longer
