Advantages
-
It takes less manual labor to steam clean grout than it does to scrub it clean. It is also healthier and more environmentally friendly to steam clean grouted floors, because it does not involve the use of harsh chemicals.
How It Works
-
The combination of water pressure and a high temperature loosens and removes debris and grime that builds up on grout. Steam cleaners come with an attachment, such as a brush, making it easier to clean the surface. Use a steam vacuum that reaches a temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit if you want to sanitize the floor.

Cost
-
It is more costly to steam clean grouted floors than to clean with chemicals. The cost of a steam cleaner may be offset somewhat by renting a machine.
