How well did it work on tile and especially grout?

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 a great job of cleaning tile and it is easy to use. It does okay on grout, but it won't remove heavy stains.

Really poorly, until i realized there was a separate scrubber assembly for tile floors. Once you have the right attachment on it's great.

Really well. I cleaned my grout before I got the machine and it had kept it nice. I have found that I do need to do a clear water rinse or the tile is a bit streaky.

After repeated use I have noticed a difference , but it took 5-6 floor scrubbing over a few months

The Hoover FloorMate works well on my indoor tiles and grout, which don't get very dirty. It doesn't work that well on my outdoor tile and grout which gets especially moldy here on the rainy side of the Big Island. I had to scrub my outdoor tile (which doesn't have a smooth surface, but grooves and indentations) and grout with Bon Ami, and then the FloorMate was a big help (I just filled the container with water - no soap) in rinsing and picking up the dirt/mold that I dislodged with my Bon Ami and elbow grease-powered scrub brush.

We use it on tile. It does a great job. Just make sure you use a cleaner that's safe for tile.

From my experience, it doesn't work very well with gray grout, never try with the color ones.

I used not even half the can on about 30 sq feet... I covered grout and tile. Worked great on the grout and on the marble triong the tile

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.

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

No direct experience on tile. Probably depends on how often you move the table and the depth of the grout lines. On my wood floors even heavy furniture glides with ease. Bottom line, at this price I would give it a try. This kit only comes with a few larger pieces, but a ton of smaller ones. Every piece of furniture in my house now has them. After approx 9 months of use, none have come unglued.

It worked great for my apartment! The grout was white to begin with then went black from mildew. A few areas required re-applying, but in then end it looked like when I first moved into the place.

I have used it on pool tile and it works real good. You just need to order a lot of it.

i used it mostly on tile also. however, it had a short life, gone in a puff of smoke in about 9 months

I have used it on my kitchen that has ceramic tile floors. It does not really get the grout clean. I have found that a grout cleaner like Zep is the only way if you want the grout really bright. You can get Zep grout cleaner from Amazon. The Hoover cleaner is a fantastic machine especially for carpet, but I wouldn't buy it just for tile.

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!

I never used it on grout or shower tile. However i think it would work great on the tile. We use this product for my dads headstone which is granite and it works amazing. Hence the name :)

Yes I did not have that issue. However I was trying to get dirt out of lighter colored grout, and it worked pretty well. I did expect it to do a little more.

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

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.

I Have used it on tile, it isn't the best. Is a fine vacuum, but to be honest, I broke down and bought a Dyson that is better on both hard floors and carpet. I still have this vacuum too though.
