I used this product in our kitchen zone it did its job well. After 2 consecutive applications, 7 years later, we've never had a spill that we couldn't wipe off without stains left behind. Even though the product claims to be effective for 20 years (I don't believe it), we took the opportunity of resealing our tile floor while some other home improvement project was underway. A one-pint bottle was sufficient to seal about 400 sq. ft. worth floor tile. You may do better and it's easy to do a lot worse. We used a bottle brush that can be had for a couple of dollars to economize on sealer but it's possible to apply it with a cloth or even a spray bottle - the fluid has the consistency of water.Here is what may be worth knowing about this product:- Up to 400 sq. feet of floor per pint-size bottle if applied with a brush.- Seals the grout for at least 6-7 years with a 20-year protection claimed on the label.- Does NOT produce heavy fumes. I tend to be allergic to chemical stuff but I didn't have any adverse reactions when applying it other than a little bit of sneezing.- Best applied the first time while the grout is in the process of drying itself - one day after laying the tiles is probably the best.- Easy to apply with a bottle brush.- Sealer dries up in a couple of hours.- 2 initial applications are recommended the first time, especially on heavily-trafficked areas.- On 400 sq. ft. (1 sq. ft. tiles) it took about 1.5 hours for the first application, less than on hour for the second.I am very happy with this product.P.S. - At the time I'm writing this review, the picture at the site keeps changing. The grout sealer is the bottle that has a green (not orange) cap and the picture of a coffee spill on the label.

After having over 90% of my house tiled, I wanted to add protection and seal the grout. This was originally part of the contractors agreement that this be done, but after the installation they said it would cost an additional $800.00 (always get things in writing)! After doing some research, I found that this is not a terribly difficult thing to do yourself. I went to my local building store and they recommended the SurfaceGard Tile, Stone, and Grout Sealer. There are many brands that were cheaper, but none have the endorsements that SurfaceGard has received. Feedback included,"You can buy these cheaper brands, but I guarantee you will be back in three months to buy more to re-seal it again".I have glazed tile, so I wanted only to seal the grout. I have a wife who spills everything, a dog who is getting up there in years, and a teenage daughter who... well a teenage daughter, that explains my dilemma. I purchased the sealer, a bottle with a small brush tip, and a set of knee pads (optional but recommended). Application of the sealer was easy, brush on a generous portion of sealer and move on. Make sure that the grout lines are clean and dry before applying. There was no odor that I noticed and the sealer dried in a couple of hours. I tried to do a second coat on high risk areas such as the bathroom and kitchen, but it just beaded up and did not penetrate. One coat is all you need, at least in my case. The biggest pain was moving the furniture around, so I recommend that you seal at least 48 hrs. after the installation, before you put everything back. Make sure the grout has cured.I cannot describe the peace of mind that this product gives me. After a pretty hefty investment of tile and installation, you really want to protect this investment. Dirty mop water, coffee spills, dirt, and god knows what can discolor the grout and allow mold and mildew to grow. Replacing the grout is not something I want to worry about in the future. The protection, time, expense, and peace of mind made this a project well worth the effort.

When I originally had my tile installed, I had some professionals come in to seal the grout. They used this product. That was 9 years ago.Today, my grout is dirty, because it hasn't been scrubbed in forever. It's been mopped, not scrubbed. So, I scrub it with my Magic Eraser, all the surface dirt disappears and my grout is the original color! I have a lot of tile and there was only an occasional tiny stain, but for the most part, it is spotless.I decided to reseal as I'm scrubbing, since it's been so long and I am using the same product as the professionals used.On the label, it says it lasts 20 years under normal usage but to test it every 2 years just in case. My grout still resists water without the reapplication, but I am reapplying anyway.It takes 2 coats, let it sit 5 to 10 minutes between applications. It's a lot of work but worth it.
