    Could anyone recommend a grout sealer for a kitchen backsplash? I want a colourless sealer.

    I understand it is a membrane sealer that is best to use on kitchen backsplash and not a impregnating sealer. https://theflooringgirl.com/blog/grout-sealer-importance-diy

    Not really what you wanted as it's classified as an impregnator but I've used Lithofin FZ on my bathroom/shower install.

    It is colourless and you wouldn't know anything had been applied

    In my case it wasn't necessary to seal the grout as I used epoxy grout which is fully waterproof so applied the sealer prior to grouting in the hopes of making washing that bit easier as the tiles were textured. Applied the sealer again after grouting just to take every precaution and hopefully it'll help to future clearning.

    I find it odd that most people use cement based grout and all recommendations are to seal the grout after but I can't find any grout sealer to buy. Online or in shops. Am I searching for the wrong thing? I look for "grout sealer" and tile sealer appears is it the same? I got a can of arc grout sealer for 45 euros which barely cover the shower before emptying. Just need something for kitchen backsplash
