The kit is suitable for most types of grout, including cementitious and epoxy grouts. Always follow the grout manufacturer's instructions.

How do I clean the sponge float?

Rinse the sponge float thoroughly with clean water and mild soap after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Can I use this kit for cleaning other surfaces?

The kit is specifically designed for grout cleaning. While you can use the sponge for other cleaning purposes, it might not be as effective.

How do I replace the sponge float?

Replacement sponge floats are available separately. Remove the old sponge and attach the new one according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Troubleshooting

Grout residue remains on the tiles after cleaning.

Ensure the sponge float is clean and wetted properly. Apply less pressure and rinse the sponge more frequently.

Check if the rollers are properly aligned and not blocked. Ensure the sponge float is properly positioned in the rollers.
