I have a whole house full of tile, around 2500 sq ft. Keeping the floors de-sanded and de-haired is a chore in its self. With 2 dogs, 3 cats and one husband (who doesn't like to take shoes off) I am constantly having to try and keep floors clean. My kitchen floor was sealed after it was laid, and just like waxing vinyl floors the sealer sucks up the dirt specially the grout. Try getting that sealer off!! Easier said then done. I have also thought about the Hoover Floor Mate, but everytime I look at one I feel that the brushes aren't long or stiff enough to do a good job. I have used ammonia, 409, other so called good floor cleaners, and of course the wet swifter. I haven't tried the Kaboom, so maybe will give it a try. I don't think there is anything (besides mopping daily) that can get the floors as clean as I would like. So guess I live with them.
