My grout did not get cleaned. The brushes didn't make full contact with the grout. The brushes are shaped like a bowl that is upside down. Only the rim of the "bowl" actually makes a light contact. After I removed the cleaner from the grout line, it looked like a dashed line. I held the cleaner in place for 30 seconds. I placed pressure on the brushes and I even took off the nozzle. The brushes need to be longer and fuller - a shockingly stupid design error. The only way to clean the grout line with this cleaner is to leave it in place for 30 seconds and then move a centimeter over every 30 seconds to get the full line clean. Multiply that 1 grout line by 12 inches on a 14' x 17' kitchen floor and that is a lot of linear feet! I figured it would take about 3-5 minutes to clean a 12 inch grout line.
I then got my old toothbrush and scrubbed the grout lines and used this cleaner to clean up the left over sudsy, dirty water. Paper towels are cheaper! The actual cleaning of the tile was okay, but I had to go over many spots frequently. The suction of the dry vacuum isn't all that great.
The best part of this cleaner is the soft handle, perhaps it's comfortable because you have to hold it in place for a long time to get results. My favorite part of this 4 hour attempt to clean my tile is that once the containers dry, it is all going back in the box to be returned.
If this cleaner was $20, I'd keep it, otherwise, it's just another poorly designed product that will fill up landfills.
