I seem to recall some negatives about sealing. Any suggestions out there?
We had light colored grout in kitchen/dining area/living/bath rooms that looked horrible after a year. We hired a company to stain and seal the grout. They also did the grout in our Roman shower. That was probably 10 or so years ago. The difference was amazing. Cleaning the floor was so much easier. Unfortunately, the owner passed away, so I cannot make a recommendation, other than to say it was well worth the price ($1100 in 2014).
