Steam mop that’s good on tiled floors?

[DragonMamma]

We had wood effect porcelain tiles laid a few months ago, with grey grout.

I naively hoped that with 2 DC and 2 DDogs that they would be easy to maintain but they are taking far more time and effort to keep clean than the previous wood floors did.

The issue is that the tiles are somewhat textured and are laid in a herringbone pattern so my current steam mop doesn’t seem able to deal with this. It doesn’t seem get in between to the grout lines either.

The only thing that brings them up properly is using an old fashioned scrubbing brush but it’s over 80sqm of the stuff and needs doing all the time.

Does such a steam mop exist that also brushes or is a bit more vigorous than the micro fibre pads, which don’t seem to be doing much at all

from the sounds of it, i have a similar type of floor and I find that a brush like this link works best, after hoovering. It's basically a hand scrubbing brush with a long handle, so i use hot water with a bit of fairy liquid, put some on the floor and scrub it in. It doesn't take that much longer than steam mopping, and then I fill a bucket with plain water and mop up the suds.

Oh thank you! Maybe something like this would be best. They also have a grout brush so may give this a go instead - I can’t spend the hours I have been, on my hands and knees when it needs doing quite a lot.
