I have a white tiles with tan grout. 2 toddlers, and 1 dog. Will this do a good job, mopping my tile floors?

I've been using the Braava 320 for the past month on dark chocolate tiled floors which are extremely subject to human and pet footprints. We are very happy with the unit's performance, it does a great job mopping, I just wished I had read that it does not come with the Reservoir Pad to keep the cloth wet. Instead of buying one now, we've decided to use a glass of wter and leave small puddles here and there

As for the kids and dog, yes, although you may have to use it several times. If stains are deeper, like hardened mud, or in between cracks, it will not work, generally it won't work on dry stains, but dust and fresh stains for sure. I don't think it will work with the tan grout, you may consider another robot, the Scooba, which has a brush.

I think it would do fine for your day to day mopping, but I use my Shark steam mop on my tile every couple weeks to deep clean them.

Yes! I too, have white tile and two boys. Battery does not last very long so I typically do one/two rooms everyday. No big deal. Damp cloth, set in a room and leave. It allows me to do other things. Once the room is done I put back on charger and do another room the next day or while we are eating dinner. Love my iRobot!!!

This does a great job SURFACE cleaning. With white tiles, 2 toddlers (and the possibility of flung baby food) and 1 dog (and the possibility of dog slobber and/or other dog "liquids"), um, I'm not POSITIVE it will get down into the grout quite enough for those cleaning tasks. Perhaps a real live maid with a bucket and a scrub brush would be needed? Hard to tell.

If you have little ones, I am sure your flooring is smooth. YES! It will work. I have a large amount of tile, and this mop is perfect. The Swiffer was too small. The industrial ones were $300. Too much. This one is perfect. I use it almost every single day. It is great. I bet you will love it. But, if your floors have anything that could catch the mop, it will not be worth it. It is natural cotton, and would catch on splinters. They suggest that it be washed with natural soap. I am planning on using Dr. Bonners. The mop also has two settings for themop head. Proba ly more than you want to know! It picks up everything. If you have little ones, I am sure your flooring is smooth. YES! It will work. I have a large amount of tile, and this mop is perfect.

It was satisfactory on tile. The brushes don't really scrub grout effectively because grout sits a lower level than the surrounding tile, so the brushes don't really scrub the grout. Over time, the grout gets cleaner, but dirty grout will need to be cleaned manually.

This cleaner does a great job on travertine tile and hardwood floors. It is basically a steamer, not a scrubber with suction, so I'm guessing it may sanitize a thin carpet to a degree but not really clean much.

it will handle the floor as long as the height difference isn't more than 4-5mm. more than that and the squeegee won't suck up the water. As far as dog hair goes I have 2 dogs and the Scooba doesn't seem to have a problem with there hair. We also run our Roomba everyday which helps with the hair.

I haven't tried it on tile/vinyl floors but I would think it should work well. The beater bar would do the scrubbing and the suction should pick up the water. I would give it a try on a small area and see what it can do. A great suggestion. I think I will give it a try as well.

Linda, it does work very well on tile floors. I purchased it for that very reason. My kitchen floor has ceramic tiles and gathers dirt from the outside as well as random litter that my cats scatter coming from the litter box. It will attract any dust bunnies or animal hair to the mop that you can easily just shake outside. I am more than happy with it!

I own a Dyson DC23 and it works extremely well on my carpets. As for tiles and hardwood floors, it doesn't clean them as well as it does on my carpets. I end up using a "Swiffer" Sweeper 2-in-1 mop and broom for the hardwood, and Tersano cloth pads (which fit the Swiffer) for the tiles in my kitchen. This Dyson is decent enough for stairs as it can sit "tilted" between the stairs--you just need to be able to lift it up by the handle one stair at a time.

It works much better than the standard mop when trying to do a deeper scrub on the tile. The bristles are fairly stiff, so you do not need to scrub as hard to lift the dirt. I would recommend this.

I do use it on hardwood floors and it does wring out pretty well compared with other mops. Good luck

I don't use this mop very often. I'm not convinced that it does a really good cleaning job. Two things I do when I use it: distilled water in the reservoir and get the pad very damp before I start the process.

Have not tried it on grout...surely works well on everything I have tried...even pet stains! This little steamer is so useful, that everyone should have one for all the things it does in cleaning and sanitizing!

I have used it on my kitchen that has ceramic tile floors. It does not really get the grout clean. I have found that a grout cleaner like Zep is the only way if you want the grout really bright. You can get Zep grout cleaner from Amazon. The Hoover cleaner is a fantastic machine especially for carpet, but I wouldn't buy it just for tile.

I use mine on tiled floors almost daily, it does a great job. I put a little Lysol in the water, works wonderfully for pet odors. It does get the grout as well. Love it.

Yes. I used it on my bathroom tile floor with Lysol cleaner. I'd suggest you try a test spot with cleaner to decide on brush or scrubbing pad.

Sorry for the very late reply. I have white tile and honestly I don't think I can manually mop my white tile floors as well as Scooba does.

Yes, it absolutely does work on tile floors. We innstalled new tile floors last month and it did a super job getting up the fine dust after I had mopped it twice!Highly recommend.
