4 washroom areas...and large kitchen with eatin area hall and foyer.

We did one at 1200 in about 5 hours, but it wasn't very dirty

I used the cimex....with hard surface wand...

It went well...the sealing took forever...I used a pump up sprayer with the end taken off...and basically flooded the grout area with grout sealer..

I think I put too much sealer...I'm listening for the call on monday

This was the first time I got someone to seal the grout..

never had to do it before

Can't seem to find one.....saw the pump up spray idea on the grout website...

I bought matte finish...but it seemed glossy

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

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.

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