If you place a few drops of water on your grout and it beads up, your sealer should be fine. If your water absorbs into the grout, you should reseal it.

How should I clean my ceramic tile?

Ceramic tile floors are incredibly easy to maintain. You should sweep or vacuum regularly and mop them according to manufacturer recommendations. Grout should also be cleaned periodically, though some build-up and fading in color is inevitable. If your grout lines are dirty or have changed color, contact a Floor Store near you to ask how to restore them to their original color.
