The two lighter blue attachments (wheel & cone) are perfect for grout. Use what ever cleaner you like best or that is best suited for the grout type and color you have. This gadget and attachments make light work out of a tedious job-elbow grease not needed.

No ...better for easy cleaning ...not at all a replacement for elbow grease

I'm not sure, but I would say 'No!' I have trouble just cleaning the soap scum off of the shower screen. I do not find this machine anywhere as good as my old Scumbuster!

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.

Used it on grout and marble tile. Seems to only last about a year before I need to reapply though.

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.

Yes definitely. I had tile floor in the bathroom. First time is used a grout cleaner and used the brush. It is the greatest steamer. I use on my shower walls with the squeegee and my shower is totally shiny. Use on all my appliances, mirrors etc.

Yes it will clean old stains well but you must pretreat the stain first let it soak for about 30 minutes and clean as usual if that doesn't work retreat until you nolonger see the stain it may take several treatments to clean it up depending on how long the stain has been their. Good luck on your success in cleaning this.P.S. I would be lost if not for my scruber it was the best buy I made great also on ceramic tile flooring cleans grout to a new finish .

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.

there is no need to use it on ceramic or porcelain tile as they are both made of non absorbent material (they've been sealed by being fired). You only need to use it on the grout.

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.

Norwex has a Bathroom Scrub Mitt that you might prefer better for this. If you have severe enough water stains you might like to purchase the Descaler with it. It removes calcium, lime and rust deposits. I have used it on my clogged shower heads and it worked great!

Calcium stains occur over time. There is no quick fix for them, and if you plan to try this on tile you run the risk of damaging your tile. It does however prove helpful on stains on the pool floor and those left by algae. We bought this as a replacement head...have always used this to take care of the occasional rust spot that came with someone losing a hairpin, or a black spot left by a leaf. Just as presented, it is an algae brush not a calcium build-up brush.

Yes, I have porcelain tile and it did a good job cleaning the floor and didn't hurt the grout in any way.

There is a limit how much it can clean the grout. If it clean (WHITE) then it keeps them clean and white but if it is already dark/dirty it wont make them white again! But it does clean quite well. Remember it is a compact unit and it does not compare with large floor units (industrial type)

It will definitely clean the tile. I use hot water and a spin mop and change the water a lot. Have fifteen hundred feet of tile so it takes a while. Do this once a month. Grout is harder. I used special brushes and this as a concentrate. Then used five layers of grout sealer. A real pain but better than the three thousand dollars a contractor wanted to do the job. It has been a couple of years and the grout, almond color, looks fantastic and the tile is clean.

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

I have used on glazed tiles and travertine. My housekeeper has used several different types of cleaning products and on my cobalt blue glazed tiles there is always streaks. With Once and done, you do not have to rinse and there is no residue always a shine. Sorry, but I am not familiar with your tiles but I would try it.

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.

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