We will apply our proprietary clear grout sealing material carefully to each line of grout. This sealant is designed to protect the porous grout from absorbing any dirt, preventing discoloration.

Grout sealing provides multiple benefits:
• Allows for easier cleaning
• Keeps the grout in good condition
• Offers a more attractive appearance

Grout sealing can only be done after a grout cleaning service or when new grout is installed, and it is applied to the lines of grout between your tiles. The sealant material fills the microscopic pores of the grout, so that dirt and other material cannot enter.

Grout sealing also prevents moisture from penetrating the grout, reducing the likelihood for mold and mildew buildup. This keeps your tile surfaces more sanitary, and keeps the tile looking attractive.

Having a professional grout sealing service performed is the only way to assure you prevent discoloration and damage to your grout. By doing this yourself you risk applying too much or too little, getting sealant onto your tiles, or improperly applying.

At The Grout Medic of West/Southwest Chicagoland, we are specialists in clear grout sealing.
