What should I do, if anything, to clean the grout lines and seal the marble against absorbing water?

Is this a DIY or should I outsource. Googling suggests a lot of individual grout line cleaning, brushing, etc...

Thanks!
Correct about the marble. Keep the pH of whatever cleaning solution that you use >pH ~5. Also, if you're doing an entire regrouting on a large area, hire a pro. It's not that hard to do DIY, but a pro will knock it out lickety split....
