Did anyone try this cleaner on tile floors? If so, did it clean the grout?

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.

I use mine on tiled floors almost daily, it does a great job. I put a little Lysol in the water, works wonderfully for pet odors. It does get the grout as well. Love it.

Eureka 313A Enviro Hard-Surface Floor SteamerI didn't notice it cleaned the grout any better than a mop. I think it's rather awkward to use. Not real user friendly. I just hate the tile floorswith the grout. I had the grout all re-stained & it still isn't the same color. Varies like she told me it wouldn't. Does't come clean to one color.It's the worst floor I've ever had to deal with. Any suggestions? I don't know if that Swifter works. I haven't tried that because I heard bad thingsabout it hurting dogs. (toxic) Eureka 313A Enviro Hard-Surface Floor SteamerI didn't notice it cleaned the grout any better than a mop.

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

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.

Disappointingly this machine does NOT clean grout. The McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner, also available on Amazon, does a great job.

I think it might do very well at that task. I suppose it depends on the type of grout it self, although I have to guess that grouts might be pretty similar in composition. I'd try mixing up a solution of oxi and hot water (oxi works best with warm/hot water) and scrubbing the grout with that solution using a small brush. Do just a small area initially to see how well it works, and if the mixture damages the grout at all. I've used grout cleaners in the past that were so strong that the caused the the grout to fall apart. I would rather has dirty grout than NO grout, you know? Oxi might just be a perfect grout cleaner, although I've never used it for that task.

It will clean anything that has a greasy build up. I've used it in the bathroom in the tub and got soap scum and that ring around the tub out. However, I have not used it to clean grout. The product is not chlorine bleach based so I doubt it would take care of grout, as far as taking away stains. I hope this is helpful.

I have used on glazed tiles and travertine. My housekeeper has used several different types of cleaning products and on my cobalt blue glazed tiles there is always streaks. With Once and done, you do not have to rinse and there is no residue always a shine. Sorry, but I am not familiar with your tiles but I would try it.

It does a great job sanitizing the grout lines and cleans them some too but if your grout is really dirty or discolored your best bet is to use a grout cleaner.

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.

A little. It loosens some stains. But its no fault of the machine. Grout is pourous; it absorbs. So the only way to really clean grout is manually with a commercial cleaner, or with bleach and vinegar and stuff.

Yes it will clean old stains well but you must pretreat the stain first let it soak for about 30 minutes and clean as usual if that doesn't work retreat until you nolonger see the stain it may take several treatments to clean it up depending on how long the stain has been their. Good luck on your success in cleaning this.P.S. I would be lost if not for my scruber it was the best buy I made great also on ceramic tile flooring cleans grout to a new finish .

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.

I would not recommend this product to clean grout from ceramic tile. This is specifically a carpet cleaner, and it could clean tile, but its not made for that. If I could suggest a product to help you with this, I would suggest the 1940 PowerFresh Steam Mop (http://www.amazon.com/BISSELL-Powerfresh-Steam-White-1940/dp/B0091YYUAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390490519&sr=8-1&keywords=1940+bissell). This has a 'Easy Scrubber that flips down and reaches down to the grout and crevices' located on the back of the foot. It also has a $10 off coupon right now!! Its a great steam mop, and not only will it help you clean your ceramic tile, but it will also be great to have around the house!

Yes, it does work on tile and in the grout lines. It wears down fairly fast because the friction causes heat, the heat warps the nylon bristles and you end up with a fairly flat brush. So it does work for a while. .... I would say about 15 to 20 minutes of work before it does not reach into the grout lines. Hence why I purchased 2 of them in the first place.

I do not have tile floors or shower tiles to clean but here is the HomeRight website link. It does mention tile grout. http://www.homeright.com/products/steammachine-multi-purpose-power-steamer
