Do any of you have experience with the vapor cleaners used to clean grout. These are expensive and I don't want to buy one if they don't work well.

We just cleaned about 1400 sq ft of tile and grout with a lot of elbow grease and I would like an easier way to clean the grout the next time if possible.

Steam cleaners are touted to do a good job cleaning tile and grout. If grout is clean, you can seal it. Grout is porous and absorbs moisture and scum and can breed mildew, especially in showers. Sealing grout makes for easier cleaning.
