my house is all tile with wide grout lines, will it get into the grout?

I mostly use it on my wood floors, however I have tile in my bathrooms and laundry room. It seems to work just as well on these floors.

Probably not, since I find that the brushes on the vacuum head are flush with the housing and does not extend out which I think you would need to get into the grout surface.

Hi L. Randall,Tile seemed OK because of the shallow depth of grout lines, but this all depends on your expectations. It did not have enough suction to get between wood slats for instance, and it did not have enough suction to pick up little bits of cat food on my tile floor. Seriously, it would suck up (1) piece of cat food, then I would move to a different area and it would fall out, clearly indicating it could not take up (1) little piece of cat food, I tested this several times and verified power. For a product that explicitly has the word "Pet" in it, should deliver and I am sorry my friend, this does not. I am now believing a vacuum cleaner MUST BE plugged in for adequate performance. Hope that helps. Hi L. Randall,Tile seemed OK because of the shallow depth of grout lines, but this all depends on your expectations.

I have unsealed ceramic tile but the grout is sealed in my basement, kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room I use 1 cap full to a gallon of water. I hope that helps...

No, this is the consistency of paint. It won't fill cracks, just color and brighten existing grout.

Yes it would, I happen to have a new self sealing grout that is very stain resistant, however I do clean up drips immediately. If I leave the drips, even the stain resistant grout will show a very slight discoloration. I imagine an unsealed grout would stain quickly.

I took a left over piece and tried it for you. It seems to work and look okay. My tiles have a good amount of grout inbetween them and it still looked okay.

you need to tie in / anchor down the walls along the perimeter. if you can do so on your tile, you will be ok.

Yes, it is really white, like the color of white out. If your grout is really white, it'll match.

It probably would... the bristles are very stiff and it would be hard to use to clean grout using a drill.

Yes. Drill a hole just big enough for the wire. Then put a ton of 5200 on the back so that it fills in not only the hole but the parts of the back that don't mount flush. Then use a solvent to remove excess sealant around the unit and form a full seal like you would if you were grouting tile. Then put sealant on the inside and wire them in and you are good to go. Don't be shy with the sealant. You can always wipe the excess.

You definitely have to avoid the grout lines. We are using with 4x4 tiles, and once we got them situated, they seem very sturdy.

The tile pieces are so close together, that grout won't work. You will still need to use a thinset, or something of the like to attach it to the wall, and I would recommend a sealer because of the irregularity of the stone - grease will be trapped in all the nooks and crannies. I unfortunately did not seal mine (I used mine in a living room), so I am not sure which type of sealer is best. Good luck!

Yes, the New Pro Extended Model covers tile up to 24" wide. Visit Grout Gator to learn more.

It may depend on the type of grout you have. I have one type of grout that resists everything, even the steam. The steam seems to do a good job on the other light colored grouts that I have.

Would try with that v shaped o cedar grout brush Might have to let sit reapply . Wait for grout to dry to assess

I too have tile countertops but I bought a large nylon cutting board and use the mat on it instead of the countertop. The mat is thin and will not bridge the grout lines.

These tiles are each 7/8" of an inch across without considering any grout lines.I hope that this helps. Good luck. We were happy with the quality and none were broken.

yes, it works with any grout. Since you would not be mixing all of the grout at once what I do is measure out the amount I want to mix for the time(say 6 cups of grout) then I color that amount by adding the colorant at a measuring spoon amount until I reach the color I want. Only you can tell how deep you want the grout color. (It will also dry a bit lighter) So If you start mixing and added a teaspoon and it's too light, add another measure until it looks right. I have done some large projects (table tops) and this works great. you might make yourself a note as you add the color. I have never done this by the pound measuring. Seems to me that a little color goes a long way! Just depends on how intense a color you need to achieve. hope this helps. Relax and have fun.
