Restoring Quarry tiles

Hi, Having lifted the carpet in my hallway I discovered old Quarry tiles. They seem in good condition and I'm sure they are layed directly on earth. I want to clean them up and re grout where needed. Also will I need to seal the tiles as I've read that because the tiles are layed on earth you don't seal? What type of grout is required?
Thanks
Craig.

Thanks very much. I take it the sealer can be used on tiles layed on earth that need to breathe? Also is slate dressing any good for sealing quarry tiles?
