Does anyone use this to clean grout?

Yes, I have used it to clean grout and it has worked well. After spraying, leave it on for a few minutes and then scrub the grout with an old tooth brush. Hope this helps. JS

I used it to clean up some grout and it didn't seem to hurt my tile. Start with the weakest solution in a corner or closet to check it out. Good luck.

Yes. It does remove grout, but be sure you use the mason/ceramic cutting blades. If you use the standard wood type blades they will wear out very fast and over heat in the process.

It's great on tile floors, that's why I bought it, it cleans grout like nobody's business, with minimal effort!

I'm sure you don't mean to ask if this brush removes "grout". I generally keep it wet, then brush, and use it both with and without detergent.

I think I would work great as long as there aren't deep grout lines. It cleans the tile in my baths having very smooth tile and almost even grout lines wonderfully.

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.

Interesting. I'm not having the same experience of many reviewers. My grout is in great shape with the exception of a few places. This steamer didn't do a thing. I haven't gotten it to clean much very well. I suspect I must not be using it correctly? Anyway, you will be well served to mix up a strong solution of water & oxygen bleach (Oxyclean or the like), be sure the crystals of the bleach have fully dissolved. Pour this mix over your moldy grout & let it sit for 30 minutes or so. Scrub & rinse. It should look much better--and is much easier than using this tool.

Yes. The FloorMate does a great job on tile, not so great with the grout though.

Just sprinkle on the carpet and work in with either a hand brush for small areas, or rent the Host carpet cleaning machine for a whole room clean. This would not work on tile grout. The product looks like sawdust.

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.

This product good for grout, but I find the Mr Clean Erase pads work awesome for removing shower door soap scum. I keep one sitting on the top corner of my doors and about every couple days use it for maintenance. Works wonders and easy to use.

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.

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 think it might do very well at that task. I suppose it depends on the type of grout it self, although I have to guess that grouts might be pretty similar in composition. I'd try mixing up a solution of oxi and hot water (oxi works best with warm/hot water) and scrubbing the grout with that solution using a small brush. Do just a small area initially to see how well it works, and if the mixture damages the grout at all. I've used grout cleaners in the past that were so strong that the caused the the grout to fall apart. I would rather has dirty grout than NO grout, you know? Oxi might just be a perfect grout cleaner, although I've never used it for that task.

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!
