Default Making tile grout mildew resistant

Is there an additive like M-1 (used in paint) that can be added to grout to
help make it mildew resistant? I have actually emailed the maker of M-1 but
have not heard back yet.

Use a grout like Laticrete Spectra Lok and you won't have to worry about
anything.

Wouldn't using a grout sealer prevent mildew to some extent?? I know you
would like something in the grout rather than on the grout, but I would
think if the moisture were prevented from penetrating it that might do the
same thing. Just a thought.


Well, the people at Jomaps, the mfg of M-1, emailed me that you can safely
add 1 packet to a gallon of grout!!
