After scrubbing away grout haze from new tile, you might wonder if it's safe to seal right away. The key is waiting for the grout to fully dry—typically 24 to 48 hours, depending on humidity and airflow. Sealing too soon can trap moisture, leading to discoloration or even mold. A simple test: tape a square of plastic over the grout and check for condensation after a few hours. No moisture? You're good to seal. Patience here ensures your hard work lasts and the grout stays clean and protected.
