How often should I have my grout sealed?

Grout sealing frequency depends on various factors such as usage, location, and wear. Generally, it is recommended to have your grout sealed every 1 to 3 years. High traffic areas like kitchens or commercial spaces may require more frequent sealing, while low traffic areas like bathrooms may need sealing less frequently. Homes in humid or wet climates may benefit from more frequent sealing as moisture can penetrate the grout, leading to mold and mildew growth. Regular cleaning and maintenance can also impact the lifespan of the sealant. It is essential to monitor the condition of your grout regularly and consider resealing if you notice signs of discoloration, water absorption, or grout deterioration. Professional grout maintenance specialists can assess your specific needs and provide tailored recommendations for optimal grout sealing intervals.
