    Sealing floor and shower grout... what to use?
    I just had my bath updated with porcelain tile on floor and shower stall. My contractor did not recommend sealing the tile or grout. I am apprehensive of the possibility of mold growth in the shower stall since this one of many reasons we remodeled in the first place.
    After researching the internet on which grout sealer to use, I am more confused. I know I should use one that is brushed on not sprayed. One that will not change the color of grout and lastly and most important, one that is either penetrating or membrane forming that BEADS when wet.
    Anyone have a reccomendation of a product that does all of the above? Thanks!
