My house has a light beige grout between the porcelain tile. Does this machine do a good job on cleaning grout, especially light colored grout?

I have used it on tile,tarazo tile and linoleum floors it has done a great job in all instances. Watch your cleaners make sure they are not to strong for the grout. hope this helps.

I used it on a quarry tile floor in the cellar. It did a great job cleaning the floor. I am not sure that it would do well with a light colored grout. The grout on my floor is dark and somewhat variegated.

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?

This machine is good enogh for egitation but you would still need a detergent to emilsfy the dirt and an ectractor to rinse every thing up. Using the map is also an option butnothing peat the hot water extraction on my openion. Most carpet cleaners offer tile and grout cleaning for as little as 75 cent/sf. Http//:sanosteam.com

Yes, but does the absolute best job using the Oreck cleaners - together they just dissolve the old grease and dirt.I started out with grocery store cleaners, but just too much labor involved to get it clean so we boughtthe machine and the cleaners and the results were extroadinary (our home is 12 years old and the floorshaven't looked this good since the first year). The machine is worth it - you'll have it for many years tocome.

Oh, I agree with response regarding using Orek cleaners. They are much better than the store cleaners I previously tried.

Yes, I have used it to clean grout and it has worked well. After spraying, leave it on for a few minutes and then scrub the grout with an old tooth brush. Hope this helps. JS

This machine cleans very well. However I don't have tiles. It cleans with steam so no residue is left behind on wood or linoleum.

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

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 use it to vacuum up cat litter and cat food, and the I use in the kitchen. Don't know about grouting between tiles, don't have any flooring like that. But I think it would work just fine. The main vacuum head is very good about adapting to various floor types.

Not sure what you are asking. This produce cleans grout. The tile surface doesn't matter. It won't be harmful to a porcelain tile surface, if that's what you mean.

I do not know I have not used this on grout very much. Although i have used it on our school bathroom floor and it seemed to clean up ok. I did not pay real close attention to that because the grout is not that dirty. Sorry i could not help you out more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The mop works exceptionally well on flat surfaces but extra steam is needed for grouted areas to soften the soil. I use an old tooth brush to help remove the stains. Be careful not to leave the machine on one area for too long as it can loosen the grout. Hope this helps.

This cleaner does a great job on travertine tile and hardwood floors. It is basically a steamer, not a scrubber with suction, so I'm guessing it may sanitize a thin carpet to a degree but not really clean much.
