The buildup of these particulates will quickly make the grout and tile look dull, dingy, and accelerate the decay of the grout. Using sealants provide a protective barrier.
1) Cost Efficient. Sealing the tile and grout is something that needs to be done every 6-12 months as a part of routine maintenance. Harsh chemical cleaners dissolve the sealants faster, which should be avoided, and daily foot traffic contributes to the wear. Sealant services are inexpensive and are a better ulterior to having to replace the grout, or even tile due to neglect.
2) Maintains Aesthetics. The surface of your tile and grout looks vibrant and spotless with the use of sealers. It can also increase the shine and maintain the luster to preserve the beauty of your tile and grout.
3) Improves Safety. To reduce the risk of slipping and falling while still preserving the shine, sealants are often formulated with a slip resistant additive.
4) Provides Stain Resistance. Stains can occur due to the porosity of tile and grout; mold and mildew, or other stains can be avoided by using sealants as they significantly reduce the risk of staining. The sealants provide a barrier that prevents most substances from leaving behind a stain.

Where tile and grout is typically used in high-moisture rooms, such as kitchens and bathrooms, keeping them sealed is imperative to prevent excess moisture from seeping into the grout.
