Thank you for your reponse, Gerald! I'm glad it was helpful.

Hi Mike! Thanks for the endorsement! Mike really knows how to restore tile and grout, natural stone and shower glass. If you're in Poulsbo, Washington or surrounding areas give him a call. Northwest Tile and Stone Care.

Thank you Michael! Wow, 32 years and counting for you now. Great job!!

Thank you K L. That is one of the keys to us being in business for almost 18 years now. Honesty and integrity.

You don't need a $40k machine to do it. You could Rent a buffer yourself and get just as good results.

@@Hallahanify so all I need is a buffer and I'm as good as a professional

@@TheBleetbleet and the right chems. Search on KZfaq, tile and grout cleaning with a buffer

@@Hallahanify okay so I just gotta rent a buffer and research chemicals. Sounds about as easy as any other trade specific diy project. I doubt it would be much more affordable considering.

Thank you. Grout sealant I'm sure is important, especially if you've been doing it yourself all these years.

Haha! It definitely does happen more often than not with our clients. Glad the video was helpful! Thank you for your response.

Thank you for the kind words Gold Coast Flooring! I appreciate it Nick!

We do color seal at times also depending on the condition of the floor. If there is a bunch of staining in the grout, this is the best way to make an old floor look basically brand new or close to it.

Do you haggle the waiter at a high end steakhouse and tell them the price is too much or do you pay the price cause you know your getting a quality steak? These guys have money invested in there business know there stuff , they have been trained and your going to tell them what they should charge to break there back.🤯🤯 smh!

Yeah when he flipped it over I was like "Oh shit that's a pressure washer." I have the same thing like that for outside. Minus the wet vac hose of course.

The only difference is these "wet vacs" start at $20,000. 😊 You can easily spend over $100,000 on complete setups.

You are correct. The machine does not get right up to the edges. We have to go back and detail the edges by hand.

😂😂

Right! Esp ones that are eye 🍬 candy

They didn't do a good job of showing the final result but I think the grout will brighten-up & look cleaner once it dries.

It is a dark grout

Brown grout is always brown grout.

The grout needs to be color sealed after cleaning to get the best result and most durable protection.

Thank you Michael! You definitely know tile and grout also. If you're in Las Vegas you need to contact Michael to clean your tile floors!

What model do you have? And you just passed the steamer along the grout and wiped it up with a cloth?

Seb Joseph The MC1275 model and yes I used a rag to clean up.

Is that the all in one vacuum/mop? Who ever invented that needs to be punched in the throat. Something about vacuuming pet hair while mopping sits uneasy with me. All that pet hair gets caked up and stuck. I'll stick with using two separate devices for 2 different jobs.

@@partnersNgrime people who keep animals indoors should be punched in the throat something about that sits uneasy with me

@@hectorgarza228 ok what if you have a handicapped cat or an old cat or rescued cat that is without claws and can't defend itself? Or if it's not fixed/neutered. I have a friend that has a cat that she rescued and had to have both back legs amputated. Animals like THAT should def NOT be outdoors. It can't defend itself. So in some circumstances animals should be indoors.

Even with regular mopping or use of a Hoover Floormate the grout/tile will still get dirty over time. We recommend semi regular professional maintenance cleaning of tile and grout floors like the method used in the video.

@@Sacsurfacepro so is it pretty safe to pressure wash grout lines at around 2,000 psi and below? My grout is just stained and inconsistent coloring constantly; bleach/peroxide/baking soda tricks just doesn't work. I want it white. Suggestions?

We did use the Teflon attachment at first but found this works just as well. Our equipment picks up almost all the water with this brush head and the floors dry really fast.

No, this machine extracts the water and fills up in the waste tank. When full, the dirty water is emptied into the sewer.

I agree the grout was not clean

@Furious Fucshia Goddess nah grout wasn't C!wanted at all

A commercial grade dupray steam cleaner would be appropriate to use on the grout first, then this tool.

All grout is not white. This one was a brown grout that was black when we started.

Not white grout dum-dum

LOL that's good!

This does definitely help but there is dust in every house out there and the mopping method many times will push dirt into the grout lines. All floor will become dirty over time.

Yes it can be used on stone and even marble. The turbo hybrid tool he's using (around $1,000) has a brush ring attachment that won't damage marble. The trailer mount machine that has the pressure washer, heater, vacuum and tank is probably $15-20k though, and the turbo tool is pretty much worthless without that. (there are cheaper portable machines out there for several thousand but they're a pain to setup and unload and you can only use around 25-50 feet of hose for them still being effective. There are floor machines for honing and polishing marble that sometimes make more sense to use than the turbo tool. A tile and stone professional can look and see if your marble floor just needs a good cleaning or if it needs refinishing.

This tool now retails for around $795 High-pressure auto filling auto dumping portables you can get for about $3500

Mark Markovic name of the company to I can buy this machines?

Where can we purchase this machine from?

I’d like to see the floor after it’s dried. Wet grout doesn’t look the same as dry grout. Also, show an area which isn’t dirty, such as under the fridge or stove, as a comparison.

You can get these products at Interlink Supply or Jon Don. tlccarpetcare.net

Isaac Ostrom I have tile like that, years of “trapped” dirt. I think the estimate I got for a professional cleaning like this was around $600 or so. But good results!

It goes into the truck that was shown outside at the beginning of the video. The red hose attached to the Rotovac leads out to the truck which contains a tank

1,200 psi

Not every grout is white...

No. The grout is clean. You can't see it white because it is wet. You will see the final result when the tile and grout is really dry

The cleaner needs to loosen the soil and the CRB breaks it up leaving it ready to be extracted. Having heat, pressure, and suction for the last cleaning step ensures the floors are sanitized and left clean.

I use about 1000 psi

A strong acid with aggressive agitation can damage/remove it but with questionable results. Best to replace it or cover it up.

@@olegster7110 thank you!

This one was a brown grout that was black when we started.

nvm i found out, its a alkaline based cleaner with surfactant mixed into it. and they use crb machine to agitate the cleaner into the surface and then use a hot water pressure washer with vacuum extraction to remove the dirty material...

Yeah, but you probably labored for 2 hours doing it. Or you can pay someone else to do it for 40 bucks. It's just a matter of what you prefer. But either way somebody has to do the work.

@@eknight101 yes. It worth it not to break you back and use a toothbrush

@@eknight101 more like a couple hundred dollars minimum. Nobody is doing this for $40

@@ohboy2592 yes, I stand corrected . expecting this much work for $40 Would be in insult to humanity.

Not true. The vacuum pressure is not as powerful as you might think. The water pressure is anywhere around 700-900 psi which does not damage the grout.

That'll remove a lot of the grout and some tiles will get damaged from it. Risky.

The grout was probably dark gray or black. I will never again have a white or light colored grout. Maintenance nightmare. This was a great job. Where can I buy this machine?

It was a brown grout originally. We cleaned it and the grout changed it from black to brown.
