Sure Clean said my steam cleaner would be enough and Groutsmith said the grout would have to be cleaned every year. Which is it?
If you’ve color sealed your floor tile, what has been your experience? Also, how soon before you could put your area rugs back down and walk normally on your floors?
If you’ve used either of these companies for floor tile grout color sealing, what was your experience?
Thank you.

I’ve read lots of good responses to your questions. Here’s another: after investigating the various methods for tile grout upkeep I’ve chosen a very simple method that we use on all our tile floors. I use a high quality exterior latex paint using very thin artist’s brushes (Amazon) to apply. Wipe off excess as you go along. Minimal time and expense required. Redo whenever you want and easily change colors. For the shower floor grout — same method and then grout lines are repainted/sealed with General Finishes High Performance Flat sealer. (I use this for table tops, furniture, even sealing a car dash to preserve from degradation due to Sun exposure). GF makes great products. Good luck DIYers.
