Will this remove mildew from shower grout and caulking?

Yes, it works better than anything else I've used. If it is very mildewed, you may need to apply it twice. The smell is very strong. I usually apply before going to work so it can sit all day.

Not sure about caulking but grout definitely, has a strong smell just in case you have kids or pets.

Yes, it works great! It does have a SUPER strong odor, so make sure you ventilate properly.

It will remove mildew from both grout & caulk. Caulk color will not be fully restored. You'll need to scrub this product long & hard with a toothbrush or something similar to achieve these results. In my experience, Tilex works better with less scrubbing.

It depends, for normal, everyday grout cleaning this will do the job. If you are using it for deep, dug-in grime in the grout...probably not. Maybe if combined with some household cleaners it may be effective.

Hi Deeda - Yes this should aid with cleaning the grout in your bathroom! Included with this unit is a grout brush you can attach as well.

I do not think it would help at all on mildew. I don't have mildew on woodwork around windows. However, because of your question, I tried on some mildew in bath on ceramic tile grout and it did not work on that at all. When I used it, it didn't clean anything well except windows, not even the vinyl part around windows. Try grapefruit seed extract for mildew.

I have used it in my shower, but I found that a Clorox bleach pen works better to soak into the grout. This is more of a liquid not a paste and will not stay on the grout long enough from my experience.

We don't know if it cleans tile grout. We have only used it on carpet and it works great on that.

Yes, it does remove soap scum on the glass without harming the glass. If there is a build up in the shower stall, spray the shower daily for a week and use a Mr. Clean Scrubber (this was a recommendation I read before purchasing the Wet & Forget). I now use it weekly and am very pleased.

A qualified "yes." It's slow, and one cannot expect perfect results. It requires time and scrubbing AND you must clean the steamed area immediately. So...it does work. We've done it with reasonable success. If you do get the grout clean, seal it ASAP or you'll be doing it again inno time.

It doesn't seem to really scrube the grout as you would by hand. It might "clean" the grout if the grout dirt is loose enough for it to be sucked up, not scrubed out.

Yes. I haven't used it for mildew personally, but according to a few forums azamax does work.

somewhat but probably not the way you would like the results to be. Go to http://www.ronhazelton.com/ and search under his quick tips. He has one on cleaning grout.

I tried the steamer today on my grout just to answer your question...and I'm still not sure I can. I found that the steam only loosens the dirt, you have to wipe it afterward so I am not sure if that is much of a help. I did find, however, that it worked well along the edges of my floor, up near baseboards and along caulking by the shower and tub. I wish I could be more helpful but I guess the answer is really what you already knew...steam is not the greatest grout cleaner unless you continue to use the good old fashioned "elbow grease" it usually takes to clean it. Maybe if it were used on grout from the beginning when it is first laid, it would be the way to keep it looking new. But the grout I have is at least 5 years old.

Yes, it does clean grout. I could not believe how well it cleaned the bathroom tile grout, it was like new after it had been cleaned.

It worked for me on white grout. after I used this product to clean the grout I died grout gray.

Yes! The Wagner 905 1,500-Watt On-Demand Power Steamer and Cleaner does clean tile grout that is dirty & discolored (moldy, even). I have a shower that has very wide, uneven grout that was neglected for far too long. 95% of the mess is gone after two cleanings; 90% went in the first cleaning. This machine is great.

I have never used it on shower tile and grout. I use it on my shower door and reapply it every 2 to 3 months to keep away water spots on the glass.

As far as I know, it is designed only for the removal of cement and roof moss. I experiment a lot with cleaners so who knows. Just be careful.Have you ever tried Simple Green for the shower? Though it doesn;t disinfect and might be limited in it's effectiveness on mold and soap scum, I use it religiously and it has replaced a number of household cleaners for me.
