Hello Joye, hope this helps you out, 48 to 72 hours
After you've installed new tile, you want to wait at least 48 to 72 hours for the grout to dry and cure. Your grout should be clean and dry and make sure the grout lines are cracked or chipped. If they are, then touch up the grout and then wait an additional 48 to 72 hours before you start sealing the grout.
You should wait 2-3 days to seal it and grout sealer is available at your local hardware or home improvement store.
Allow new grout to cure for 48 to 72 hours before sealing. Existing grout should be cleaned and dried before resealing. Make sure grout lines aren't cracked, chipped, or otherwise compromised before treating with a sealant. If they are, touch up grout and wait the requisite 48 to 72 hours before sealing.
I strongly suggest 2 coats. It is worth the wait.
