I know steam cleaners in general have been discussed here before, but I was wondering whether anyone has used one specifically to clean grout.

My kitchen floor has some really grungy grout. It does come clean (enough) if I scrub it - hard - with baking soda and a brush. Would a steam cleaner work faster/easier/better or would I still have to scrub after I steamed? The reviews on amazon are very mixed.

We still scrub some, but the steam makes it much easier since all the grunge is loosened. So, it isn't the instant clean I dreamed of, but it is still better with less effort/elbow grease than I could get before.
