Clean-eez Grout-eez Super Heavy-Duty Grout Cleaner - Powerful Tile and Floor Stain Remover for Bathroom, Kitchen, and More - 32 oz.

I found this product works extremely well, ……….……………….IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS! Growing up, my dad, and perhaps your dad, often said with fatherly wisdom, “Any job is easier and goes faster if you have the right tools.” How true! Grout-eez sells a brush you can attach to a handle for scrubbing the grout standing up. This well-intentioned product (and other similar long handled grout brushes) will work for some but not everyone, thus the negative reviews. You have to get close to the floor to get the grout really clean. How can you get all of the necessary elbow grease into the grout lines when your elbows and arms are three to four feet above the floor? I think more than half the battle getting clean grout is using the right scrubbing tools and “getting down where the action is.” I firmly believe, after experimenting, clean grout is more dependent on a thorough and quality scrubbing and less so on the cleaner you use (more on that later). Forget scrubbing by hand standing up with a long handle brush. It will be a lesson in futility for some people, especially for those whose grout is more than moderately dirty.Cleaning grout is among the least favorite household chores. I will try to make it easier for you.You will need only three things: a STURDY footstool, a cordless drill (what homeowner doesn’t have one of these?) and the small 2” diameter Drill Brush sold here on Amazon. Drill Brush has many kits listed which are color coded by the firmness of the bristles: white (soft), yellow, green and blue (medium), red (stiff) and black (ultra-stiff). The yellow, green and blue brush kits have the same exact MEDIUM stiff bristles which work just fine for cleaning grout and they haven’t harmed my grout or tiles. They are color coded only to avoid cross contamination by application, i.e., if you desire use certain colors for specific cleaning jobs.Chuck the yellow, green or blue SMALL 2” diameter drill brush in your cordless drill. Sit down on your footstool and go to work after the cleaner has sat for five to 10 minutes. Use both medium and firm pressure with the cordless drill going back and forth at least 10 times, sometimes more may be necessary depending how dirty the grout is. With use and viewing your results, you will ultimately determine how much scrubbing is necessary. This will show good if not great results after washing up with a mop and drying.This Yellow Drill Brush Kit has the recently introduced Edge Brush pictured on the right in the link. Most of their other kits don’t have this Edge Brush. There are many other Drill Brush kits available on Amazon to suit your needs.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083X5ZZWN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Don’t need an entire kit? Then just get this grouping of 2” diameter Drill Brushes:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HQQP9BQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1NOTE: If you have a lot of grout to clean as I do and am doing, you will likely need two or three 2” diameter Drill Brushes as the bristles do wear down (but not quickly) as I found out. After all, the bristles are doing all the hard work while you sit on your keister.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Don’t have a cordless drill but do have a reciprocating saw? If yes, you can purchase a Reciprotools stiff bristle nylon brush for the saw along with the adapter.Brush:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R7N16O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Adapter:https://www.amazon.com/Reciprotools-RCT-A10-Reciprocating-Saw-Adapter/dp/B001CNHDR2/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Reciprotools+Reciprocating+Saw+Tool+Adapter&qid=1594928387&s=hi&sr=1-2I’ve used both tools with great success. The drawback with the reciprocating saw is that it is noisy, and if you ever used one you know there is a lot of vibration, especially with the cheaper makes, like the $25 Hyper Tough I bought at the “Big W.” As such, I used it only on grout lines that needed a second cleaning which were few to date. With its trigger which controls the speed, I tried to keep it at 1/3 to ½ power. The saw will not work well in confined areas, and try not to get too close to the baseboards or cabinets. If you go this route, it is important that you keep ALL the bristles in the grout line which will result in the saw being close to parallel to the floor but certainly not overly awkward. Hold it by its neck and handle. Note that there are smaller, compact reciprocating saws that will likely work better than the larger models.As I’ve already noted, I attest that a good, thorough, diligent scrubbing of grout is far more important than the cleaner you use. I have used Krud Kutter Tough Task with equal success. One of its many uses is for grout as noted on the bottle under the “SAFE, FAST, EFFECTIVE….” heading on the label. Some reviewers among the 1,400+ reviews have found other products that work great and are less pricey. One reviewer noted he used La’s Totally Awesome Cleaner and said it did a super job. But whatever cleaner you use on your grout always test the product in an inconspicuous area to ensure it is safe on your tile and grout. I would also suggest that if you purchase any cleaner in a spray bottle transfer the contents to an empty dish detergent bottle. Most if not all dish detergent bottles have a small opening in the cap. Just drag the bottle’s open cap in the grout lines while dispensing the cleaner. Lastly, make scrubbing and cleaning grout easier – uses a power tool and less elbow grease!

This stuff is amazing! Follow the directions and let it sit for 5-10 minutes and it will remove the oldest darkest grout stains with just a little effort from the scrubbing brush. You can see the difference in my picture of the old dirty grout lines and the few lines I cleaned. I recommend getting a long handle brush if you’re cleaning floors or you will be on your hands and knees scrubbing. The only CON I have about this stuff is that I wish it came in a streamline spray bottle. It’s a little hard to control and pours out really fast. And the clean up is a little messy. I just used paper towels to absorb most of the mess and then mopped with water.

It worked quick and it worked well. However, there are some super tough stains that I’m gonna have to find another product for, or regrout. Overall I would recommend this item and I would buy again.

I followed the directions on the bottle on my shower that only had a few dirty looking areas on the walls. It did clean pretty well with my elbow grease and grout brush. However, it did seem to turn my grout yellow in places even where it wasn’t dirty or yellowed. So I ended up going over all of my grout with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda which did help to clean the grout back to white and I repeated the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda procedure the next day and my grout came out clean and white. I know the directions said to test the product before using it all over, which I didn’t do, so strongly recommend people not skip this step. But I feel like the homemade recipe worked better than this product and is definitely cheaper.

This is the first item I've tried that did the job!!! Some areas needed to be done twice but that is ok, IT WORKS!I put on the solvent, let it soak in for 10 minutes or so, scrubbed it with a brush, wiped it off with a wet cloth. Very easy.Next, I'm going to seal the grout using this same brand.
