Light, comfy, and leave a very clean surface.

Ceramic Tiling Tools

what in gods name is this lol!

That is a grout washer offffer....

i seen that machine today,you'd need to be on a big floor id say.

I used one of those machines years ago on a supermarket floor. It was good as it was no effort but i reckon a washboy would be cheaper and just as good.

iv'e got one its agreat bit of kit,i use spa-bath anti foaming agent in it it woks a treat,
iv'e never used it on a pool with a steep slop lol

you'd have to be Popeye to use it on a wall

just floors m8 and you would cover loads more than a washboy!!! and your not on your knees m8 take it from me

The guy told me too that raimondi make cutters for montolit?????
is that right??

A proper washboy!
