Hello, I've just cleaned my travertine-tiled kitchen floor up, and used Mapei ultra colour Jasmine grout to fill the holes, but I'm worried the grout will go grey/dirty and get discoloured? Will a sealant stop this? And if so, which is the best one to use?

Does anyone else find that the expected m2 coverage stated on the back of grout bags is a little optimistic? A 10kg bag of BAL superflex wide joint claims it will cover 32 m2 based on a 300x300x9mm tile with a 3mm joint. I did a 28m floor this week with 400x400x10mm tiles and used 16/17kg...
