It makes it a breeze. Especially the etched tile you see in restaurants. The client sees the difference in the tile so much they aren't as picky about the grout.

I've never tried that, but it seems logical

Using an OP machine on the tile and grout first makes the grout part much easier.

If it has an acrylic sealer/finish on it, you want to strip it first using a stripping brush and a 175 rpm floor machine. You can etch it after you remove the finish

Anyone ever come across sealed grout in restrooms that has turned black? I've got 40,000 sq ft of it, and 1,800 psi won't clean it.

Depends on the soil level and if there is floor finish or sealer on it

I have the stand up version as well. Works good once you get the flow right

There are applicators for grout sealer. I have two if you want to borrow them.
Its a tube you fill with sealer and it has a toothbrush end for the application. I have stand up version and kneeling version. Kneeling version works well if you have kneepads on. |

1 step cleaning and sealing = 2.5-3.5 hrs. Depends on layout, amount of masking, BSing with custy, quality of install, soil level...
if I have to hit it with acid add 35-45 min
