Be sure to check the grout you use before you apply the grout sealer. Sometimes, grout doesn’t actually need sealer at all. 

For the rest, apply one thin coat, clean up any excess mess, and let it sit for at least a full day. After a day has passed, go ahead and apply a second thin coat. Again, let that dry for another 24 hours.

Yes, it is safe to clean silicone caulk with bleach, but proceed with caution and don’t use bleach as part of your regular maintenance cleaning. Always wear protective gear like gloves and a mask, and ensure the area is well-ventilated to avoid inhaling fumes. Never mix bleach with other cleaning products, especially those containing ammonia, because this can create hazardous fumes. Properly used, bleach effectively and safely removes mold and mildew from silicone caulk in severe cases.

You should plan to reseal the grout in your shower every one or two years, depending on how often your household uses the shower. Resealing shower grout costs around $200, but it will help extend the lifetime of your shower and freshen it up without having to go through the entire process of regrouting your tile shower. If you have a custom shower enclosure with grout between tiles on the floor, that grout should be resealed more often due to increased wear—once every six months might be necessary.

You can clean your bathroom like a professional by keeping your cleaning tools and products organized and having a cleaning plan or routine. Most cleaning pros start by dusting and sweeping first and applying cleaning solutions. You should let the solutions sit in your bathtub, shower, sink, and toilet, and wipe everything down with fresh cleaning cloths. A final mop gives the finishing touch.
