Be sure you seal it after you clean it!

Just to be clear. It's sealer or colorant.

The grout needs to be stripped clean before either can be applied.
The colorant will not stick to sealer. Especially "511".

The stuff I used was sealer AND colorant all in one. Worked great.

I hear you. The point is, don't seal it first, then use the colorant.

Use one product.

Right, makes sense. Let me ask you, now that I've done the grout, any harm in applying a penetrating sealer on the entire floor, to seal the tile also?

Most tile is glazed and does not/will not recieve a sealer.

If the grout is RAW it will take a penetrating sealer.
If it has been colored ( epoxy color sealed ) I'd suspect it will resist new sealer or the color will be damaged by the solvent based sealer I suggested.
