It all depends on what sealer is being applied, we use a ketchup bottle that you would buy for a picnic. I feel that if you are going to apply a penetrating sealer, than you should saturate the grout so that it protects all the way through. I have used the rollers and find that it takes more time to wipe off the sealer that overlapped the tile, plus the time involved. |

Took 1 1/2 hours to seal with a grout stick. A bit of a pita, but OK -------------

1.00$ to clean, 0.65 to seal. When I do more than 1,000s/ft the price drops. When it comes to sealing that much, use a pump up sprayer. Adjust so it just flows out and walk along the grout lines. When done sealing, use floor machine with a white pad to remove excess sealer from tile. 11,000 s/ft clean and seal, I'd charge around $6,500. Good luck and have a good one.
