How does it do when used to clean grout on tile floors?

Sir; I referred the question to my wife who uses it, but she is away baby sitting for her son for a couple of days. She'll get back to you then or sooner.

It is awesome! I had grout in the kitchen of the condo that I bought that had embedded grease. I was planning to clean on my hands and knees. Not a fun prospect. I used the Quickie HP and some grout cleanser and got all that grease and grime cleaned out in about 15 minutes with no crawling around on my knees. It's a good length to hold (I'm 5'5"), has good battery life and decently strong scrubbing power. If you push down too hard it will stop spinning, but with a good cleanser and the scrub brush you should get most grime off. Hope this helps.

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.

I think it depends on how deeply set the grout is. It cleaned the grout in my kitchen very nicely but in a couple of the other rooms, the tile is thicker and the machine doesn't seem to get down into the grout as well. If your grout is level to your tile, it will work very well.

I have very small (one inch) grouted tiles in my back bathroom and it works well on those, but they are very shallow grooves. The steam itself will only loosen surface dirt, and maybe lift some of the deeper stuff. If you have old mildew darkened grout, I'd suggest a foaming mildew cleaner, and bleach or a bleach like spray. Steam cleanings main advantages are a hot greasy dirt cutter, and a no chemical germ killer.

I just used it on some very dirty floor grout. The grout is much cleaner, but it is tedious cleaning the grout lines and the steamer is pretty heavy and 'clunky', but it did the job.

Yes, the steamer does a great job on grout. I find it is a really great help with cleaning. I am in a wheelchair and I manage to clean almost everything with this device.

Its not great for grout, but that's not really its purpose. It does a terrific job cleaning my ceramic tile, couldn't be happier with it. It will get up spills and light surface dirt on grout, but if you're looking for something that deep cleans grout, then this isn't the product for you. Good luck!

You will be amazed at how well this works. If you are using a hand drill just be sure to use two hands it can get away from you if you are not careful. What ever you use to clean the grout, be sure and let it set a minute or two to loosen the dirt.

I would not recommend this product. It did not clean the grout. For me it was a waste of money and time. It did not damage my granite tiles.

I have used it on tile,tarazo tile and linoleum floors it has done a great job in all instances. Watch your cleaners make sure they are not to strong for the grout. hope this helps.

Yes I think it will clean it. I bought the one for tile. It is very coarse so maybe careful with your floor. It is powerful

It does a great job sanitizing the grout lines and cleans them some too but if your grout is really dirty or discolored your best bet is to use a grout cleaner.

It works very well over grout but the most important think to do is to make sure the grout and tile are very clean. Clean it with steel wool and tsp rinse with clean water each time and repeat 2 more times Good luck!

Although the Revolver Drill Brush can clean the grout...a grout cleaning tool (which scratches off the top layer of grout and targets just the grout) is best because grout is a porous material and dirt/grime soaks into it and you have to remove approx. 1/32 nd of an inch or so to truly clean it. This brush is by far the most versatile cleaning tool I own and I will always own one!!!!!

For me, all it cleaned was grout, I had little luck with other things. But it was worth it cuz it did an amazing job with the grout.

It cleans the grout, but you still have to manually get on your hands and knees to clean the grout really well with a toothbrush or similar tool for really dirty grout.

Carrie,I haven't tried to clean grout using the special attachment. I have done 2 conventional cleanings of my bathroom tile floor with the brush extended under the microfiber pad and it had no visible effect on the grout. It might be easier to do it by hand with a grout sander and then clean up with the mop afterward.
