Tile cleaning without a truckmount? - mark63 - 05-16-2014
I was wondering if any full-time encap cleaners that do not have truckmounts still offer tile cleaning, and how to clean them without a truckmount if they do. I just got rid of my truck-mount (no regrets) I have a CRB, cimex, and mytee portable no heat 200psi. I also have the hydro-force gekko tile accessories that would fit my portable.

I use my CRB to scrub tile and grout. But I use my TM and SX-15 spinner for recovery. I think you could do it but may need a different porty though.

I use a 175 with a tile brush attachement. I also use a grout brush on a pole. Good Chems and extra time is all you need. Its a bit slower but the results are quite good.

I do it, although it is not my favorite thing. I use my Cimex for scrubbing and my porty for sucking up the wet mess. Still have to use a grout brush on a pole.

We use our portable it has 1000 PSI, auto fill auto dump, use CRB or orbital machine to scrub first. We will also use a gas pressure washer and use the portable for pick up. We also have a 45 gallon AUX waste tank for one of our portables. As said above a grout brush on a pole is indispensable

U DON'T need a STINKIN truckmount to clean tile !!!!
We clean with a 175 floor machine with a brush under it and scrub grout lines with grout brush, vacuum with a good wet vac ,mop rinse put down a fan , and bamm u got super clean tile and grout.

Thanks for the replies. I just ordered tile brushes for my CRB machine. I'm confident I wont have to leave that $ on the table, and my customers wont be calling my competition for that service.
