Spray or pour down the fist coat, work it in with the flat finish mop make sure you see all the grout lines go dark.leave enough product on the grout (and tile if it's stone) so it's noticeably wet. Now go pack up your truck or clean something else.
Go look at the floor, if it looks exactly the same and ALL the areas are still visibly wet, your done. More won't go in so don't bother. That's rare though. This means the last sealer used was excellent stuff, or its a vinyl floor and you're a moron.
If you see dry spots then apply a much light amount then the first coat, massage it in again, leaving the grout a little wet, again. Start from the back and work your way out. Remove all streaks and foot prints.
If no one will be home for a few hours you can now leave. The excess will flash off. Open some windows and turn on a ceiling fan in another room, not the sealed rooms or they'll dry too quick.
If they are home and need to walk on the floors, give it ten then blow one of your fans into the room and in a few minutes the excess will flash off completely.

Instruct them to not get the floor wet for 24 hours.
Send or give them care instructions on how to flat mop with a nuetral cleaner.

Yeah it's $34 a gallon but shipping puts it at $50

 

[Mikey P]

ask your wife for a raise in your allowance.

Yeah it's $34 a gallon but shipping puts it at $50

If you buy a single gallon yes.

A 5 gallon container figures out to $40.58 with shipping and 10 gallons $38.09

Just want to try it first

This is how you would apply to Groutlines installed on Ceramic and Porcelain tile? Does the product not leave any residue or haze on the til itself?

 

[Mikey P]

Correct, no residue at all

 

[dealtimeman]

As long as it is not over applied/allowed to puddle then trafficked over, then yes no residue.

 

[floorguy]

I use Jim Martins rapid seal to hit the lines, and then go over with the micro fiber to pick up extra/spread it around... ZERO haze, and gives it just a tich of protectant on the tile (not that ceramic needs it)

 

[Larry Cobb]

Even ceramic tile can absorb up to 5% of our Ultraseal Impregnator.

That makes it easier to clean for the homeowner or service person.

We now have the Impregnator with a state-of-the-art UV absorber.

It has passed stringent Zenon lamp UV testing with the highest #5 rating.

Those red tiles that lose all their color quickly in outdoor sun exposure,

can now retain their appearance many times longer.

[Mikey P]

How did you come up with 5% ?

 

[Larry Cobb]

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has developed a rating system for the moisture absorption of tiles.

(Typical Medium density) Ceramic Tile with absorption of more than 3.0 percent, but not more than 7.0 percent.

This is why a solvent-based fluorochemical can prevent staining & enhance cleaning on ceramic tile surface.

Even some Porcelain tiles can absorb a couple of percent.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

As long as it is not over applied/allowed to puddle then trafficked over, then yes no residue.

It seems to me that the glub glub method would be more apt to over apply or puddle in areas, like pouring finish on Vct.

 

[dealtimeman]

Not really as the solids are non comparable between the twin.

Glut glug works well once learned and is very fast.

Cept when ya get on your shoes

 

[dealtimeman]

I walk through cobbs sealer every time I apply without issue.

The only instance I am mentioning was last year in st Pete at the hotel Cleaning as 20 something people were trampling over the sealer as we applied it.

1 or 2 tech walking ain’t going to mess anything up at all.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I ain’t talking about walking in it, bahaaaaa. I’m talking splattering on your shoes when ya glub it.

 

[dealtimeman]

The same sealer we use it on tile grout carpet and furniture so again no problem

 

[Old Coastie]

I spray it on my shoes to keep them from looking shabby for a long, long time. The soles wear out before the uppers look worn.
