Default Removing quarry tile stains?Q

Hi,

My friend has an old Victorian house with original quarry tiles in his
kitchen. The tiles are about half an inch thick and he asked me if
there was an easy way to remove stains (mainly fat I think), then
re-seal them.
He has tried some chemicals but without success.
I thought some "wet and dry" to remove the top layer might work!
Does anyone have other ideas, such as a machine like a floor sander
fitted with a special belt perhaps?
It does seem a shame to lay vinyl over it though!

Thanks
