IMO a light or medium duty will do fine... in a home I use the grout brushes that Interlink sells, but for large commercial the grit brushes save your back and arms

Lean into the grout lines and go slow , I use a floor stripper or heavy degreaser sometimes boost it with powdered oxy let it dwell , the longer the better

I bought a Basin brush for my rotorary. Used it a bunch in restaraunts.

After using awhile I realized a brush with different length bristles will work better.

The even length basin mostly hits the tile. Various length would drop in the grout joint better where you need it most.

Now I use an old Host machine to prescrub. Lighter to carry and works pretty good.

Dwell time is the best tool you have in my opinion.

Rotary will throw solution all over the place in a home.

What exactly is a basin brush?
I can't find any references using that term.
