Next:

Wrap sandpaper around a round wooden dowel of whatever diameter will match your grout joints. Increase sandpaper grit fineness as needed to end up matching the rest of the grout texture.
Next:

Seal the grout and the tile with Aldon "S-B-S Sealer".

This will provide:

  • Some disguising of any remaining stains or discolorations
  • Strengthening of the grout
  • Strengthening of the grout bond to the tile edge

It the tile are sealed also, finish with Aldon "Lifeguard" for additional gloss and wear protection.
