Sealing grout

[D'z Nutz]

It's time to do the tiles in the shower again. What have you guys used in the past when it comes to sealing grout? Last time I used that little roller wheel bottle but it was kind of a pain in the ass on walls. Some people recommend the spray bottle but say a lot is wasted cause more ends up on the tiles than between.

Any recommendations?

Nah. Just pour it into a bowl/small bucket/whatever and use a sponge and just wipe over everything. Concentrating on soaking the grout joints. Any leftover sealer can just pour back into it's original container.

And just an "FYI"; sealer does not make grout waterproof. It's only for stain resistance.

Awesome, thanks Dave!

I once used a small 1/4" artist paint brush and seriously 'painted' all the grout lines with the sealer... 3x to boot...

:thumbsdow :facepalm:

Yeah, don't do that if you want to save time & your sanity.
