Hot take: Grout left unsealed on tile jobs always fails fast

I keep fixing floors where the grout gets dirty and cracks within a year. Putting sealer down right after laying tile prevents this mess every time. What's your routine for grout sealing, or do you skip it?

Did you ever see a tile guy skip the final wipe down? I watched one finish a job and walk away while the grout was still wet. It made me realize that the last steps matter as much as the first.

Last steps matter" used to sound dumb, but you're right.

Can't believe he just walked away like that. Why even start if you're not gonna finish properly?
