I rather be standing. I've heard good things about the turbo tools what are your thoughts

I've got the new gekko that Scott posted and it is definitely better than the original gekko. I didn't care for the original one so I sold it. The new one has a assist handle and feels better holding it.

I have the hand tool version of Marty's edge wand from PMF.
Great for walls, counters, tight spots etc..
Actually we have three of them now..

I like the small wand Marty has in the photo, get for corners, getting right next to baseboards where the spinner does not, and behind toilets.
I also like to stand up!

I've also got the hand tool version of it as well, but seldom use it anymore. Standing up is wonderful.

Marty, Does it get real close to the baseboards? That has always been the hardest part of cleaning tile for me. That darn lil 1/4 inch!

Turbo hybrid and the "turbo tilt" gets it most of the time.

It will leave that 1/8 to 1/4 inch dirt line, but the brush ring will let you scrub it away.

Just throw a wet cotton rag or towels o the floor and Nike shuffle anything that still might be on the floor in the corner.
I used the previous gecko model with the corner attachment and it was a nightmare to use. So now we just turbo tilt and towel dry the baseboards when done.

To much turbo tilt will cause swollen baseboards. I used to do it but on a repeat commercial I noticed The next time it had swollen a little. We use the bonnets to dry and scrub them next to the wall. If that doesn't get it a little spray on my orange pads will. Extra work but won't swell anything.

Usually a quarter inch lift doesn't spray too much especially with the brush attachment.

I used my hand pressure gun in a bathroom the other day on some really dirty grout lines. I stationed my son at the door to catch the run off before it got on the carpet. I thought about the possibility of the cabinets swelling and warping.
But I let those super white grout lines entice me into doing it anyway.

That's how I used to clean around kitchen cabinets but now I just hand scrub them and finish with a micro rag. To much particle board for me.

I've been scrubbing the edges with the 3m green hand pad. It's a pita, but I would rather take the extra effort in advance, rather than fixing a problem later.

I have a couple of those with the built in handle. Works great but I prefer the micro scrubber because I can stand. I'm getting to old to crawl around on my knees.
