We had tile put in our bathroom floor about 5 years ago. Should I reseal the grout?
Thanks!

Check it by dripping some water on the grout in places, randomly. The water should either bead up, or just stay on the surface. If the grout changes color in the water dripped spots, it is absorbing the water and will need to be resealed after a good cleaning.
