does this machine clean the grout as well as the tile

I think it depends on how deeply set the grout is. It cleaned the grout in my kitchen very nicely but in a couple of the other rooms, the tile is thicker and the machine doesn't seem to get down into the grout as well. If your grout is level to your tile, it will work very well.

I must admit that the grout in my bathroom is a little more than a year old, but it does appear as if it takes care of it also. My thoughts are that since the machine actually scrubs, it does get into the grout and clean it. Of course the amount of cleaner you put on the floor would make a difference also.

I love this and have given 2 as gifts I love it that much! For stubborn grout buy AWESOME cleaning concentrate and for pennies it cleans grout amazingly well! I buy that at Dollar General for $3 as bottle (concentrate so you only use a little per sonic bottle and fill the rest with warm water. When the pads get dirty you need to change to a clean pad and it WILL clean grout amazingly well. Spray clorox water on very stubborn grout stains, wait 5 min and use sonic scrubber. Love mine!!!

sorry nothing is as good as hands and knees scrubbing for grout. I did the knee thing and hopped i could maintain the grout with the duo, however, I see I will still have to spot clean traffic areas by hand from time to time.

NO! It makes you tile floors look terrible. The tile came out nice and clean but the grout was still dirty. Floor looks stupid with clean tiles and dirty grout. I used throw rugs to cover it up.

doesnt reach my grout at all in my kitchen... maybe a tiny bit. Got a steam mop to clean in there instead. Seems to work better. Works good on the hard wood 1850's flooring i have in my dining room and livingroom, however it streaks and i have to use the polish a lot.

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. It will remove most the seal and paint. There is a video on their website showing it remove permenant from grout.

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

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.

Yes! The Wagner 905 1,500-Watt On-Demand Power Steamer and Cleaner does clean tile grout that is dirty & discolored (moldy, even). I have a shower that has very wide, uneven grout that was neglected for far too long. 95% of the mess is gone after two cleanings; 90% went in the first cleaning. This machine is great.

My unsealed floor tile grout is a mess and I hate it. The green apple cleaner works better than anything else I have tried. Unfortunately it just gets dirty again.

I bought mine to scrub tile floors. What I didn't realize was that IF you use this machine you also have to have a way of vacuuming up the soap water. I was very disappointed and find it not worth the money.

It does a good job if the grout between the tile is not old and caked on. If you keep up your tile floors a couple of washings with this mop should do the job.

I clean my bathroom with this, and it never leaves a build-up on any floor. Grout between tiles always needs something a little stronger, but yes it does clean them well. I love this machine; it's lightweight, easy to use, and does a great job.

I assume that it cleans tiles ok, since the machine doesn't leave any water on the floors. Used it on linoleum ok, my friend uses it on her wood floors. It has been a big help, however, very caked-on food needs to be removed before using the steam.

I normally vac first and then use the wash function to clean the floor. It will also pick up dirt when it's in the wash mode but it will create a mess in the reserve tank and clog the filter. It does a decent job on my tile floors.

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.

We don't know if it cleans tile grout. We have only used it on carpet and it works great on that.

do I mix the hoover tile and grout with water when using the hoover twin tank steam mop.

I haven't found ANY steam mop that will 'clean' grout very well. It will clean fairly well if you let the mop sit on an area for a few seconds, but it won't scrub the grout lines if that's what you're looking for. For that matter neither does my hard floor cleaner by another well known floor cleaning company.

You have to buy the hard floor cleaner adapter to use it on non-carpeted surfaces, so I haven't tested it, but it's unlikely to do much to the grout since it doesn't scrub.
