Don’t Seal Your Grout for 20 Years!!!

We’ve started using a product in our grout that has some amazing properties. It’s ProSpec ProColor Stain Guard Grout Additive. This magic liquid is mixed with the powdered grout instead of water and has some pretty great benefits. Let’s explore. Per the manufacturer it:

1.      Eliminates the need to seal the grout

2.      Creates stain, mold and mildew resistant grout

3.      Has a 20 year warranty (I actually called the manufacturer because that sounded too good to be true. They said, yes, indeed, you do not need to seal the grout again for 20 years.)

So you’ve decided to invest in this for your next tile project. What kind of special maintenance does it require? While ProColor Stain Guard Grout Additive helps repel dirt and increases the stain resistance of cement grout, routine cleaning is highly recommended. Use a pH neutral cleaner for day to day cleaning and an alkaline cleaner for grease and soap scum. Since damp mops may deposit residue in the grout joints, remove any excess water from the joint prior to drying.

This is an extra expense in the overall project cost but one that I feel is well worth it. This grout additive can be purchased from Traditions in Tile. It’s perfect for floors, showers, backsplashes and really every tiled area. Questions? Email me at Jessica@webbercoleman.com
