        "text": "Several signs indicate your grout needs sealing or re-sealing. A common test is to drip a small amount of water onto the grout line. If the water beads up on the surface, the sealant is likely still effective. If the water quickly soaks into the grout and darkens it, it's time for re-sealing. Other indicators include persistent staining, discoloration (even after cleaning), or a powdery texture. Grout that looks consistently dirty or grimy despite regular cleaning is also a strong sign that its protective seal has worn off.",
