It is a clear solution so it does not change the color of the tile or bricks and grout, but it will give a gloss to the surface. Paint the sealer on the dry tile or brick, being sure to cover all crevices and cracks in bricks and grout. Let it dry and apply a second coat. Thereafter, apply one coat about every year to maintain the seal. The sealer prevents dust from grout being tracked into the house, and makes cleaning very easy with a damp mop.
Some people prefer to use a wax over the sealer.
Experiment with a sample tile or an inconspicuous corner as some waxes leave a streaky undesirable finish. This information is for educational purposes only.
