Pressure washer/ steam cleaner
My wife has the idea of cleaning the grouting in our shower with the aid of
a power washer or steam cleaner. She has tried all the usual chemical cleaners which she finds labour intensive. Any suggestions where I can obtain reasonably priced items and or other suggestions for doing the job Blair Malcolm |

This may work, but I personally wouldn't risk it unless I was sure the grout and tile adhesive can stand it. She has tried all the usual chemical cleaners which she finds labour intensive. If your grout is dirty/mouldy, regrout. It's not as long winded as you might expect. Any suggestions where I can obtain reasonably priced items and or other suggestions for doing the job Once you've regrouted, treat the grout with Lithofin MN to make future cleaning easier. -- Grunff |

Any suggestions where I can obtain reasonably priced items and or other suggestions for doing the job Steer well clear of the pressure washer idea unless you like very wet rooms with lots of missing grout and tiles! Earlex make a steam squeegy attachment that goes on the end of one of the wallpaper strippers. This is designed for cleaning tiles and grout. It still makes a fair bit of mess though and is only moderately successful. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
