Greg,
I would have used the Grout Perfect ColorSeal to make the grout look like new. This would have accomplished two things. 1. The grout would have looked brand new 2 the grout would now be protected from future staining.
Sanded grout is no easy removal the Fein tool is probably going to be your best and fasted way to remove the grout. Any other method you could run a risk of scratching or damaging the tiles.

I have a very large job consisting of 83 rooms of white carrara marble that has 40 year old non sanded grout, the job consists of restoration and re-grouting of all marble in the guest rooms, shower walls, 1 vanity, and the floor. 1 room has been completed as a control sample and approved by custy. The wall grout was a issue, a hand grout tool was skipping over the grout, we had to use our Fein tool to remove the wall grout which took more time than I wanted. Has anyone used a different tool or method for removing stubborn non sanded grout?
