The Grout Brush conundrum

[Mike Pailliotet]

So the trouble with staying in the lines might not be my fault?

for once.

Blue brush is by far the best

The green one's bristles flatten out

And the Blues don't?


Come on now....

We carry the blue brush as well as the Shark.

More customers buy the Shark.

I think I like the 8" Stainless brush in skilled hands.

The Unger brush is a new material: "polypropylene PET bristles"

the Shark LOOKs good.


but horrible.


as with most things in life, 90% of the goober just dont know any better.

Nope...

Blue wears down till there nothing left. Bristles remain straight

Green - bristles get smashed down - more like a scrubbing pad- crap

JMHO

After seeing the absolute superiority of using a good grout brush on a poll over any other mechanical scrubber I went to order some more of my favorite and realized it's not currently available.
Looking for other options has me frustrated...

Better than the 10" CRB with stiff brushes? Really?

Really Steve.


I ordered a blue to test. It's been years. I recall it not having enough of a taper/ chisel but maybe it was just the cost at the time that made me go green.... We'll see...

That's what my supplier told me also when I was looking at the Shark. So I bought one based on him saying that.

I don't like it very much for the reasons Mikey stated.

I use the blue brush when I need to brush. It's not perfect but the best I've found so far. I need to try that Unger one next.

@Mikey P In my locality my range is pretty limited. I could do Amazon of course but try to buy here where I do my business. These cheap grout brushes I buy here. They are a good intermediate coarseness. Remove gunk easily. I scrub all my grout lines this way.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Some of those in that style are too stiff but I trust your opinion Grant

 

[GeeeAus]

There are times where if I were to really scrub with some grouts it would be too much. It has similar coarseness to another tile cleaning tool I have. I really wish we had the selection you guys do.

Got my blues..

We too used to use the blue brushes from Home Depot. I spoke with our operations manager and he says we have been using these for a while now and that the crews like them.

Same manufacturer, stronger pivot, stiffer bristle

They're cheaper separate on Amazon $11 each compared to $15 each for a case I bought 4 and used one today. I liked especially on edges
