does it clean grout?

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.

Yes, in fact I bought it mainly for that purpose. I did need a lot of the brass brush attachments though. If you will be cleaning a large area you go through them fast. I cleaned a tiled kitchen floor with it.

somewhat but probably not the way you would like the results to be. Go to http://www.ronhazelton.com/ and search under his quick tips. He has one on cleaning grout.

We did not use it to clean grout. I use Mr. Clean's 'magic eraser' for all my grout and am very satisfied with that.

We never used it for just grout. We have a ceramic tile floor in our kitchen and bathroom. It is the only steam cleaner that works for us. It is a heavy duty cleaner and does a great job. All I can say is the tile and grout are clean when we're done.

Yes, but you need to be very careful when cleaning grout with a power operated brush. Make sure the grout is sealed properly with grout sealer (it will have clear or satin sheen on surface of the grout). Another way to check if your grout is sealed is to put a drop of water on it. If the water repelled or sits on the grout it is sealed; otherwise if not sealed it will absorb into the grout. Be sure to clean using "light pressure" when cleaning grout and use a detergent that is specifically designed for cleaning grout. Using too much pressure when cleaning will damage the grout. Hope this answers your question. Yes, but you need to be very careful when cleaning grout with a power operated brush.

Carrie,I haven't tried to clean grout using the special attachment. I have done 2 conventional cleanings of my bathroom tile floor with the brush extended under the microfiber pad and it had no visible effect on the grout. It might be easier to do it by hand with a grout sander and then clean up with the mop afterward.

It cleans the grout, but you still have to manually get on your hands and knees to clean the grout really well with a toothbrush or similar tool for really dirty grout.

Not well, I have white tile and grout in Florida. While it does a nice job on the tiles, the grout has to be cleaned by another method. Sorry.

Yes it sure does, Obviously it causes some dust but no where near as much as an angle grinder. By far the quickest and easiest way I have found to remove grout. Using it very lightly and evenly it takes off a fine layer of the grout cleaning it and therefore it is initially not always necessary to re grout. Pressing down harder with the tool does remove all the grout. The tool is quite easy to control accurately along the grout lines but obviously care must be taken not to cut into the actual tiles.

I have ceramic tile in my kitchen & bathrooms & it seems to be cleaning the grout just fine. If you have something heavy just hit the trigger that gives you a big blast of steam. The more you hit the trigger the more water you use but it gets heavy grime up good especially on hard wood.

You can clean grout. You can refresh upholstery with the fabric attachment. To clean upholstery you would need a dedicated machine like a Bissell.

I would not recommend this product. It did not clean the grout. For me it was a waste of money and time. It did not damage my granite tiles.

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.

Yes, the bristles hold up. Yes, the brushes scrub dirt and soap scum off of grout. I like to use Kaboom to help loosen the scum, but don't beathe the fumes.

It worked for me on white grout. after I used this product to clean the grout I died grout gray.

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

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.

Although the Revolver Drill Brush can clean the grout...a grout cleaning tool (which scratches off the top layer of grout and targets just the grout) is best because grout is a porous material and dirt/grime soaks into it and you have to remove approx. 1/32 nd of an inch or so to truly clean it. This brush is by far the most versatile cleaning tool I own and I will always own one!!!!!

Its not great for grout, but that's not really its purpose. It does a terrific job cleaning my ceramic tile, couldn't be happier with it. It will get up spills and light surface dirt on grout, but if you're looking for something that deep cleans grout, then this isn't the product for you. Good luck!
