Welcome to the forums. It is best to go ahead and seal the grout before you allow any dirt to get on it. Even if you wait, you will have to allow the sealer time to dry, so why not go ahead and get it over with? Have you used silicone to seal anything like doors, or the corners? If so, you need to allow a couple of days for it to completely cure out, or you may find mold under it later on.
Congratulations on the remodel, and post back if we can help further.
