How do I seal the grout on the subway tiles?
The grout on my subway tile backsplash behind the sink and the stove in my kitchen get dirty. Is there some kind of sealant that I can use on these places so that the dirt and grease do not "sink" into the grout? Using a brush to clean these places everyday is a pain.

Yes, there are several sealants you can purchase. Try a big box store, your local hardware store, or a tile store, they will all have what you need.
Many brands of grout sealer can be found at your local home or hardware store. Most are easily applied with a brush and lasts for years, especially on a backsplash.
