My thoughts were to rent an industrial buffer and clean the high traffic areas and then finish it with something.. Please advise..

It seems that some sealant was used on the brick floor. Now after all these years the floor is dirty - also the grout is quite dirty. How should I get it cleaned? I have got two totally different opinions from people - one wants to use muriatic acid to clean up the grout and then seal with polyurethane. The other one wants to sand the brick and then seal with polyurethane. Any ideas? Thanks. Hi:

They we never sealed and they are really dirty. The grout lines have ground in grease and oil from food dropping. We have a large family and eat in there. Anyway, we are getting ready to redecorate the room and I want to know how to really clean the brick. My Mom in law was told to seal the brick with boiled linseed oil. What is your opinion of that?
