HydraMaster Corporation: RX-20

Deep cleaning tile and grout has never been easier. High pressure works well on some grout, but you have to be careful not to blow out old or substandard grout. The beauty of using the RX-20 from HydraMaster — with optional hard surface brush — is that you get the benefit of agitation from the brush to work in your cleaning solution. After pre-testing your grout, you can decide if it is safe to use high pressure — up to 1,000 pounds of pressure per square inch (PSI) — or low pressure to rinse and extract.
