how long do you wait to seal grout on tile
Even though your shower grout looks dry, using it too early or sealing it before it's ready may damage it, leading to premature failure. Most cement-based grouts require a cure time of 48 to 72 hours before applying a penetrating sealer. After sealing, wait a minimum of 24 hours before using the shower; some products may recommend three days instead. Other grout formulas may require a shorter or longer drying time, and epoxy-based grouts may allow you to skip the sealer, thus the wait time before using your shower or bathtub.
