Prestige1, in my business we clean a huge variety of surfaces, including tile. I use a Dupray vapor steamer, with vacuum attachments (and steam only attachments) on tile and here is why: In residential installations, I often encounter cracked or loose tile or grout. In a wood frame structure, poor installation can allow movement, see. For that reason, I am not comfortable with any form of pressure washing inside, as it could cause damage or water injection.
Vapor is far gentler and uses a fraction of the water, getting stunning results. It lets me do vertical surfaces and small areas like soap dishes, appliance seams, shower heads and toilet bolts. For me, that versatility is necessary to the business.
It is absolutely true that it takes more time, but my customers pay well for good work. Your mileage may vary, of course. Often, I use hand brushes or the 175 or a CRB to prescrub the floors, following up with steaming the grout lines.
Also, the vapor lets me deep clean pretty much anything that does not run off barking. It is a good match for my needs and I hope it helps as you decide what to buy.
