Does this really clean the grout? Does the wagner do a great job or is there one better?

For me, all it cleaned was grout, I had little luck with other things. But it was worth it cuz it did an amazing job with the grout.

To clean grout requires a special tool. Just using the steam mop will not clean up 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.

I used it on bathroom grout and it restored the tiles to like new. Was very impressed. It's not terribly expensive. Worth a try.

I was curious myself because I have marble with grout, so I called the manufacturer. They told me that you can use this product on anything that is safe to put water on. So it should be safe to use on just about anything. I have used Tech Grout Cleaner for a while and love it. I have never found anything that worked to clean the light colored grout on my ceramic tile kitchen floor until I used this product. There is no need to use gloves. No fumes. It requires "very little" scrubbing to come clean. It's a great product. I just ordered 4 more bottles.

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.

It will remove mildew from both grout & caulk. Caulk color will not be fully restored. You'll need to scrub this product long & hard with a toothbrush or something similar to achieve these results. In my experience, Tilex works better with less scrubbing.

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'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.

The Oreck comes with a little brush attachment for grout. My grout is all dark, so it's kind of hard to tell, but I know it is sanitizing it and getting rid of mildew. I think to be truly clean, though, you would need to wipe with a cloth after you run the steamer over the grout lines. I like this steamer a lot--it really works well on my tile floor. It is heavy, but I think that makes it clean better.

Hi. We have light grout, and light porcelain tile. The machine did an excellent job of cleaning both. I used the black scrubber first because I wasn't sure if the orange scrubber would be too harsh. Black did a good job. Then I tried orange scrubber on really filthy areas, and it was excellent. I would just say be careful which scrubber you use because porcelain tile instructions say use black scrubber. Does that help?

Not sure the grout in the 8 year old house we purchased was ever sealed. The bissel steamer cleaned some of the stains on the grout but in some areas it still needs to be cleaned with a scrubber brush. It did a beautiful job on the tile though.

I would say "yes" if it's a clean app.of grout. So worth a try. I've tried many grout cleaners and this is the best so far! This will be my "go to" grout from now on in.

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

It works great on wall grout - I use a heavy duty commercial cleaner, Fuller Spray N' Dissolve (takes lots of rinsing), online or local janitorial vendors would have the product - or use your product of choice. Even "LA's Awesome" cleaner from the dollar store worked well. In commercial janitorial, we use buffers that add over 100 lbs. of weight with a similar brush - for the household, you don't want a heavy, pricey machine, so this is a better option! Put on a drill, it moves fast and saves you some serious time. I think this red scrubber is the right 'grit' for the average stained grout.

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.

Use it weekly on our bathroom tile floors. Does a great job and so much better than any thing else we've used. The microfiber pad does not have a deep pile pad. It gets into the grout joints, but probably would have a hard time with deep ground in dirt / stains. Best steam mop we have ever used!
