Shower Floor Grout
Posted on 8/8/19 at 10:07 am

Just built a new house and before we moved in I sealed the shower floor tile & grout but it seems after a few months the grout starts to get molded again. Any daily cleaner that yall recommend are a good grout sealer? Are what should I do to not have to worry about this every few months?

Is it just mold on the outside or is it staining the grout? No sealer is going to keep mold away, you need to keep your shower clean and dry.
What kind of grout was used? New stuff (epoxy based) shouldn't be getting stained or discolored, or need sealing.

Its just mold on the outside. And a little elbow grease takes it right out, but just looking to see if there is something I can do to stop from molding are just prolong it little longer. And we try to dry and leave door open after each use.

Squeegee the water out and if you have more you and spray it with peroxide. It will kill the mold and keep it away for a little while.

I use one of the after shower spray products, but all they are is a surfactant that facilitates water drainage. I have a decent slope to shower floor, snd squeegee is too much effort anyway. But even in best of circumstances, you’ll need to occasionally use a bleach product to kill mold that appears. And reseal grout.

the answer depends on the type of grout used. Sounds like you (or the cleaning lady) should just use bleach water in a spray bottle weekly or bi-weekly.

that's what I do and it works. use the daily shower spray a couple of times a week and leave the door open so it will dry quicker (also have a ceiling fan in my bathroom I leave on a lot)

Had the same issue my new house was having to bleach it every two weeks or so. Started leaving shower door opened up some after showers until it dried and haven’t had a issue since
