does it remove grout?

I haven't used it for that chore. However if you get the correct accessory, I would have to say yes without a doubt. This is a very nice tool. I priced several different manufacturers. I think this is the best bang for the buk.

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.

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.

No, my set did not include the grout removal attachment. You will have to purchase that separately.By the way, I am very happy with my purchase and have used the tool extensively in the last month.Honolulu, HI

No, I don't think any steamer will. Does a great job on tile, though. The steam disenfects but any stains on grout remain.

If you have fresh dirt on grout then, yes, it will clean it. But it will not deep clean grout that has absorbed dirt and stains.

The Bosch tool cut trough grout just as shown on the ad video making it possible to remove most tiles without breaking. I purchased a different brand cutting disk that worked/fit the Bosch tool without an adapter at Lowes.

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!

It may stain unsealed grout, but not permanently. Rinse off quickly and it shouldn't stain.

Absolutely not. It will get it moist and make it easier for you to scrub the grout out. But will not lift it out.

No. We have used it on tile and it does the most superficial wiping of the floor and doesn't clean the grout.

It picked up the dirt/dust just fine, but do not expect it to "scrub" the grout.

I do not have tile floors or shower tiles to clean but here is the HomeRight website link. It does mention tile grout. http://www.homeright.com/products/steammachine-multi-purpose-power-steamer

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.

No, it does not need grout ,but I recommend choosing a thin set that is close to the color of the stone. Because the stones are natural some will not fit perfectly together and the thin set may show a little. I chose a darker stone and decided I liked the color of it when it was wet , so I used stone sealer that says it seals and enhances. Any stone sealer will protect it. I used a paint brush to be sure to cover well. Love the wall.

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.

It does work on tile grout. I suggest using the round brass scrubber. It makes the job a lot easier. Hope this is helpful.

This does not clean grout per se. It overall cleans the floor, but grout is in a depression that it cannot reach. I have found that buying a good hard grout brush and using 409 and wiping with a clean microfiber cloth works well, but is a lot of work.
