After the new installation of tile, your tile & grout should be sealed immediately. There are many benefits to applying a sealer. First, the primary benefit is that it may greatly enhance the life-span of your tile and grout making it last, and look better longer. The sealer helps prevent the grout from getting deep down dirty. When it is time to clean you will find the dirt and grime is on the surface of the grout rather then soaked deep inside of it.
In a shower the primary benefit of applying a sealing agent is water resistance. Most people don't realize that every time you take a shower the grout between the tiles can soak up water. This water then slowly dries throughout the day making a perfect breading ground for mold or mildew. Sealing your grout can help prevent this. Water soaking unsealed grout can weaken it over time and lead to wet wall board and eventually to costly repairs.
