Not this. Just use a tile and grout cleaner and those Magic eraser sponges are awesome. Don't use simple green cleaner because it colors the grout!

This is the best tool of its type. Excellent for removing tile grout. The variable speed helps with complete control. One of my best tools and I have all of them.

We never used it for just grout. We have a ceramic tile floor in our kitchen and bathroom. It is the only steam cleaner that works for us. It is a heavy duty cleaner and does a great job. All I can say is the tile and grout are clean when we're done.

According to the brand's website (http://miraclesealants.com/index.html) "511 Porous Plus" is recommended for sealing Grout but it's not recommended for sealing Ceramic Tile because Ceramic is not as porous as other materials. Their "511 Impregnator Sealer" is recommended for sealing both Grout and Ceramic Tile.

With a carbide grout blade you can cut tile . It is very hard on the blade however.

Yes, the steamer does a great job on grout. I find it is a really great help with cleaning. I am in a wheelchair and I manage to clean almost everything with this device.

Not well, I have white tile and grout in Florida. While it does a nice job on the tiles, the grout has to be cleaned by another method. Sorry.

It works great on my grooved & textured ceramic tile floors using using the floor cleaner recommended by Oreck but you must use old towels or rags to wipe up the liquid/dirt before it dries.

I vacuum 1st, then clean bit sometimes small pieces of grout in between my floor tiles come loose. When this happens I just switch to vacuum, get those pieces off the floor & resume scrubbing and drying. Hope this helps.

Use the brush attachment first with some water or cleaner, then steam while it's wet. The pads don't get into the lower spots on my textured ceramic tile.

We did not use it to clean grout. I use Mr. Clean's 'magic eraser' for all my grout and am very satisfied with that.

Yes absolutely Home Strip Paint and Varnish Remover works great to remove wax and grout sealant from tile! Thank you for your interest in EcoSolve products and have a great day!

What you need is a demolition hammer for breaking up tile. This multi tool is a precision tool designed for fine cuts in awkward places. It is also a nice detail sander for awkward places. I do use it for sawing out grout joints for renewing the grout. I used to do it with a hand saw but this is easy to control and easier on me. The blade attached to this tool moves side to side a small amount. It is a very fast movement and cuts pretty quickly. it is very handy for cutting door jams when installing laminate flooring, marble bathroom door sills, etc. It can be used to plunge cut holes in drywall, wood or other similar materials. You can get a scraper blade that they advertise for vinyl tile removal, but that is pretty slow. I can do a better job with a garden spade. A quick check of the internet on ceramic tile removal will give you a better idea on what you need. This tool isn't it.

Saw comes with a wood cutting blade, and not set up for water. I wouldn't want to try it. Go for a wet saw for any stone tile job. A manual score , or a hand grinder with a diamond bit will do fine on ceramic.

I would not use this on ceramic as this is for wood products. I would suggest going to a hardware store and explain what you are doing. I know there is a stone and tile sealer out there, but I don't think this is it. hope this helps. steve

Use any standard rotary drill at medium-low speed with plenty of water for cooling. No hammer drill; that will crack any ceramic/marble/granite.

No you will need a grout removal tool. I use one in my multi tool. They also make them for sawzall. Good luck.
