tile and grout

When doing tile and grout, do you just use the Cimex as a stand alone treatment? Do you need something else to get the water up after the cleaning or does it spread enough to dry on it's own?

You need to get the dirty solution up and rinse.

Tuesday night I cleaned 16 restroom floors in an office building. I used the Cimex with brushes on it with a strong Pin-Sol mix. Added phosphoric acid where there was lime build up.
Sucked up with a Koblenz 16 gal wet vac. I had a squeegy wand off another vac that I used with it though.
Turned out good.
Too bad the Cimex is so tall, my swing machine used to go undernieth the dividers, the Cimex don't. adds some hand work, but it sure is easier to run.
