Does this steam mop clean the grout without leaving a build up between the tiles?

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.

It gets it cleaner but not as clean as if you used bleach and hand scrubbed. It is certainly beneficial when you don't have the time and energy to hand scrub.

Not without a lot of elbow grease. I really like the job the mop does. It really is a no brainer, but you really have to pay attention and go over certain areas a number of times. I would give this mop a 5 stars all the time. I don't feel like I'm pushing dirt around like with a conventional mop.

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.

never used it on grout. yes there is a resting / storage floor protector. depends on how much steam you put out as to how long the water lasts. it just takes seconds for the water to heat. I mainly use mine on my tile floor which has no grout lines and I steam clean inside microwave,tolits,windows. it works good on about anything because you are using hot steam

It is difficult to say. We started using the Sharp Steam mop right after our tile was installed. Our tile has dark grout and when we have dropped powder on the tile and grout it does remove that. We are pleased on how it cleans the tile.

I wound up returning the HAAN SI-75 and purchasing a Sienna Vibe. The HAAN was very flimsy and wasn't worth the price - didn't clean well. My experience with steam mops and grout is that you can't count on the action of steam mopping to clean the grout lines. However, if you have a grout attachment for your mop, and a good cleaning solution to spray onto the grout before cleaning, steam does help release the dirt.

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

Yes. I used it and had great results without having to get down on my knees to do it. Once you get the grout clean I would reseal it (two coats) and then use a solution of hot water and biokleen in your regular cleaning to keep it clean and fresh.

Do not put cleaner in the machine. But I have used cleaner on the floor then used the steamer which worked well for really stubborn grout stains n the tile floor. Also, the high heat of the steam is supposed to sanitize. I did not feel the need to use cleaner to disinfect, just for stubborn stains

Yes, any hard surface can be cleaned with a cleaning pad/rag on the mop head. There is an attachment with a squeegee to clean glass. To clean grout joints the plastic brushes wear very quickly because you are literally rubbing them on "60 grit" sand in the grout, much like trying to rub the brushes on 60-grit sandpaper. The brass brush works well enough. It's a great machine, but the segmented handle has a bit more flex than I'd like. Just make sure that you use distilled water to avoid mineral build-up from regular tap water in the boiler.

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.

I'm sure you don't mean to ask if this brush removes "grout". I generally keep it wet, then brush, and use it both with and without detergent.

Yes, my entire house is tiled and this is the best steam mop I have had! Make sure and use distilled water or this mop will clog up. You can also clean it out each time as suggested then you can use tap water.

I didn't use this with my steamer. But believe me the steamer is excellanty ou don't need anything added just weter It got up hard scuff marks that my other floor cleaner couldn't remove

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.

Have not tried it on grout...surely works well on everything I have tried...even pet stains! This little steamer is so useful, that everyone should have one for all the things it does in cleaning and sanitizing!

Yes, I have porcelain tile and it did a good job cleaning the floor and didn't hurt the grout in any way.

Removes surface dirt, but doesn't "scrub" grout completely clean like a toothbrush and elbow grease. But once you do that, would probably keep it clean.

Of course, any steam mop will leave some moisture on the floor, but this one has three steam settings, so you can increase or decrease the amount of steam you get. I usually use the medium setting and have not had a problem with too much water on the floor, so my answer would be yes, it dries quickly.
