Best grout scrubber....

[Walrus Gumboot]

brush on a pole. Need something that allows you to stand and scrub rather than bending or on your knees. The ones I've found online don't have very good reviews.
Any suggestions?

Home Depot stopped selling the best..

Those work, however, the "blue Carlisle" still is my favorite...The above brushes that Mikey recommended have a screw on the head making your poles flimsy when pushing back and forth...

I don’t understand why you morons are having to scrub

 

[Living The Dream]

This is what I use. I also use it to scrub really bad filtration lines on carpet.

Because we do more than one grout job a year

And or don't use 1500 psi to blow out weak grout

The blue brush is way too soft imo

I get it! Through the years it really boils down to personal preference...Some grout joints are thin versus thick, skinner or wider, coarse or non-coarse...Its what works! I do carry the grout brush you recommend, I primarily use it on high grout and/or wide grout joints...The poll fits on like broom thinner wood poles...I don't like the flimsy effect...

I just did $1,500 of tile, slate and vinyl yesterday. Didn’t scrub, and used 800psi.

Spinner or wand?

Both

Which spinner do you use? I have a mytee one and it works ok but I would like to upgrade.

 

[hogjowl]

Turboforce

rarely if ever scrub grout lines, 800-1000psi max

 

[Walrus Gumboot]

Is 800 psi really enough? I went from 1200 to 1500 psi. Makes a huge difference.
We ran into a job that had some kind of no-slip coating applied and a few places needed a little extra scrubbing in the grout lines. Bending and squatting to scrub sux.
They wanted the coating removed.

I’m tempted, but I’ve been getting decent results with a soft brush and decent chemicals. Plus I have the wimpy version of a pressure pump...

And an ugly van.

 

[hogjowl]

Amen

After you get a Turbo Hybrid 12" you will kick yourself for not getting it sooner. It will change your attitude about tile and make great work easier.

 

[Jack Zipper Zerkie]

What method do you use to apply the cleaner. Does the Hydro force work and what about the change in pressure for spraying then the spinner pressure ? jz.

 

[Acp]

use a pump up or a flat mop. Hydro force mists too much when it hits the tile.. unless your doing thousands of sqft commercial
