Morning guys just had a phone call from a hotel i do the carpets for asking me to clean some white and orange tiles in their restaurant .I have host freestyle machines and have been informed that with the red brushes on this would do the job very well in conjunction with the sponges and possibly some craftex champion if required.Do any of you use this method and if so what results do you get. Thankyou in anticipation Alan Turner(swindon)

Presume these are hard tiles and not carpet tiles?

What is the Red brush in Host range? Is it the hardest.

I have the Envirodri system which you probably aware is similar to Host.

I was advised for hard tiles use the balck brush which with Envirodri is the hardest - not recomended for carpets!

Not actually donea job on hard tiles so cant advise you but wuld be interested in what you find the results are.

Yes joe they are hard tiles

I believe, for Host brushes only, that the black brushes will clean hard tiles/grout well, but the wear rate is very high, hence the introduction of the red brushes.

I have asked Envirodri in the past and they say that thier black brushes are OK for tile and grout cleaning.

Safe and happy cleaning

I've never heard of host sponges being used to clean tiles.

I've tried various bushes on tiles and none of them have reached into the Grout recess. they tend to glide over the top

Timmy had it right, forget all the brushes whatever colour and use an SX12.

Best, Dave.

P.S.  Did you see John use any brushes to clean the hard floor at the CCDO?

Ok guys so none of you have actually tried this with red brushes.What is the sx12 then and how much to buy.Alan

[gwrightson]

If I am right 

The sx12 is a pressure spinning device atached to vac for use with t/m
similar to patio cleaning spinners.

The red Host brushes are made for cleaning grout and tiles but my wife cleans our bathroom tiles with the white brushes with exellent results. If its a one off job use the brushes you've got but if it's a regular then buy the red!
