;In addition to grout, you can use your steamer to clean tile, sealed hardwood, vinyl, and linoleum flooring. It can also work on porcelain, bathroom fixtures, shower doors, ;and windows. Some steam cleaners are suitable for use on carpet and upholstery. Consult your owner’s manual to find out what you’re able to safely clean. If you simply want to freshen your grout during spring cleaning, you may not need these features, but if you have limited storage, a grout steamer that serves double, triple, or quadruple duty could be a wise investment.
