Most grout cleaning tools require at least 1000 PSI just to spin their jets. 500 PSI just won't cut it.

You may as an alternative want to look at an OP Machine that cleans more by mechanical action as opposed to pressure. Then you will also be able to clean high-end dry cleaning of carpet at higher profits.

You want to start out with a lower PSI (~500) and work up until you reach good results.  I'm usually around 900-1000.  BE CAREFUL!  Too much PSI on loose grout and you will blow it out.  THIS IS BAD!

 

You want to be able to go up to 1200 when you need it.

I know many experienced cleaners recommend 1000PSI for cleaning commerial tile and grout. But it it possible to clean with 500PSI in a residental bathroom or kitchen counter top?

I was looking at a few T&G wands' and some say operate only 650-3000PSi but can I chage out the jets to run 500psi effectively?

I just wanna add a service to my business and do a decent job.
