Can anyone recommend a machine for cleaning ceramic tile floors that will also do grout lines? We have 12x12 ceramic tile floors and the grout really needs cleaning. I'd like to know if there's a new or vintage machine out there that can do the grout lines as well as tile.
I have a vintage Kenmore Powerspray cleaning machine, and I thought about getting the Spraymate powerhead for it to use, but it's not really meant for hard floors and I was afraid it might scratch the tile. I might just have to use a toothbrush and make a paste and just do a little at a time by hand. |

I use a garden sprayer to apply the cleaning solution to the floor and then scrub it in with a tile brush. Then use an extractor with clean water to rinse and suck it all up. |

A solution of bleach, water, and some dish soap (very little-like a couple of drops) will brighten that grout up like you wouldn't believe. I have been doing this for years with great results. |
