The kitchen is one of the most common places to find tile surfaces in a home. From large square tiled floors to subway tile backsplashes, tile and grout can offer unique aesthetics while serving multiple functions in a kitchen. They are relatively easy to clean, which makes tile and grout ideal for a kitchen since there is high foot traffic, frequent spills, food splatters, and high moisture to worry about. However, part of what makes kitchen tile and grout easy to maintain on a daily basis is kitchen grout sealing.
You may wonder whether kitchen grout sealing is necessary. After all, aren’t ceramic and porcelain tile nonporous and stain resistant? They are, if they’re glazed. But when it comes to grout, sealing is always essential.
Grout is porous and very much not stain resistant. Without kitchen grout sealing, food and drink spills can stain the grout while dirt, moisture, and contaminants accumulate in it, leaving it looking dark and grimy. Not sealing your grout might even allow mold and mildew to grow in it, which is the last thing you want anywhere in your home but especially in a place where food is kept. Unsealed grout is very difficult to clean, especially without professional tools, so prioritizing kitchen grout sealing will keep your kitchen grout easy to clean and looking its best.
