Have solved the grout issue-- at least to our satisfaction. Stopped the flagilation(trying to clean grout).

Go to your favorite hardware store and buy a product called Grout Stain or Grout Refresh (essentially a paint). Clean grout as you would in a normal floor cleaning. Allow to dry thoroughly. Apply grout sealer as directed.

Problem solved ,quickly, without the mess caused by the "professionals".
Found the products to last , with minor touch up for many years.

"Professionals" will try to tell you that you need acid cleaning, etc before applying sealer. Not my experience in two homes over 10 years.
