Comments (29)IÂm amazed this thread is still alive almost a year after I started it! I will say now that IÂve had it a year it works pretty well. It would work better if my husband also used it but he will not. So considering itÂs being used only every other shower, itÂs keeping the shower reasonably clean. I was out of town for 2 and a half weeks and noticed buildup on the doors, from no one having used it at all for that time. So now the shower will have to be cleanedÂbut itÂs the first time in many months! I think I will ask my husband to do it since he is the one that wonÂt use the machine! WeÂll see how far I get with that. I am not obsessively clean so itÂs good enough for me if it looks clean. I think how well the machine works must be variable, and have a great deal to do with a combination of how hard your water is plus how it combines with whatever soap you use. We had some stains in the molded fiberglass bottom of the shower that are gone now, too; that took several months to happen. We had tried everything on those without success. It is not perfect at keeping the mildew away but I find that is cropping up high up on the tiled wall where the spray does not reach. Not much of an issue....See MoreBest steam cleaner for shower?

Also cover my fan blades with car wax and buff as usual. Dust won't stick to the fan blades and it makes for easy clean up. Radd...See MoreBest HD steam cleaner for tile and grout?
Comments (2)I'm very doubtful that a steam cleaner will return your grout to its original color. I've always found that I needed a grout brush, a good cleaner, and a lot of elbow grease to remove grime from grout, and even then, it doesn't look new. I can't imagine that steam alone would remove built up grime. I would suggest renting a steamer from a rental yard (or Home Depot's tool rental department) to see if it gives the result you want before investing in a piece of equipment. If a steam cleaner does give you an excellent result, be sure to let us know!...See Morelinste22
