The only comment I have Peter is, 'cheers mate', I had never thought of that. The grout lines in my shower are a pig to get clean, so I'll try the steamer next time!

A friend bought a Polti steam cleaner (can't remember the exact model) from QVC several years ago. Useful for steam cleaning loads of things like carpets, curtains, cookers and, yes, even grout :thumbright:

No, I can't say that I have tried it that way. Who would have known that you could use a steam clear on floor tiles. I'll be sure to try that out the next go around.
