Today, however, the emergence of water-based sealers has transformed this once-arduous task into something homeowners can easily do themselves.</p> <p>To seal your tile and grout, all you need is some water-based sealer, a bucket, a sponge and a pair of gloves. After pouring some sealer in the bucket, dip in your sponge and begin applying the product to your tile surface. Be generous in your application, and make sure you thoroughly cover the surface.</p> <p>Within a few minutes, the sealer will penetrate the surface and seal it, leaving a residue on top. At this point, all that’s left to do is dry off this residue with a towel, which will leave your tile surface nice and clean.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/" target="_self">Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies.</a></p> <p><strong>Local, Top Rated Diamond Certified Companies Related to Your Topic</strong><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/sonoma-tile-contractors/" target="_self">Sonoma County Tile Contractors</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/marin-tile-contractors/" target="_self">Marin County Tile Contractors</a> <br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/alameda-county-stone-tile-grout-cleaning/" target="_self">Alameda County Tile Cleaning Companies</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/contra-costa-stone-tile-grout-cleaning/" target="_self">Contra Costa County Tile Cleaning Companies</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/stone-tile-grout-cleaning/ca/monterey-county/" target="_self">Monterey County Tile Cleaning Companies </a>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Related Articles</strong><br><a href="https://stage.diamondcertified.org/Guide/countertops-and-stone/" target="_self">The Homeowner's Guide to Countertops &amp; Stone</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top Rated Local Companies</a><br><a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/" target="_self">Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a>&nbsp;</p>
