What is a Pulirapid washboy?
Traditionally tilers and lately landscapers had used a simple bucket and a large sponge to clean grout from floors, walls and patios. The development of washboys such as the Pulirapid have seen a revolution in grouting clean up, saving tilers and landscapers time and money, enabling them to complete projects faster and more efficiently. What’s more, because of the hand held plastic float with sponge, and the rollers attached to the bucket, there are no more drips, spills or getting hands wet and dirty, ensuring a cleaner job all round.
Simply put, a wash-boy allows a tiler to complete grouting jobs quickly, more efficiently and ensures that a perfect clean up is achieved.

How do I use a Pulirapid washboy?
A wash-boy like the Pulirapid is simple to use, you simply:
- Apply the paving or tiling grout to the tiles or slabs as normal
- Fill the wash-boy with clean water approximately 20-30mm above the separation grate
- Fully submerge the sponge into the clean water
- Push the sponge horizontally across the rollers to remove all of the excess water, making sure there are no spills over the edge onto your tiles
- For a 1st rough wash, move the sponge in horizontal motion across the tiles and grouted joints to emulsify and clean a little of the excess grout
- Place the sponge back into the bucket, rub the sponge across the separation grid to remove any excess grout (the grout will come off the sponge and settle at the bottom of the bucket underneath the separation grid).
- Continue to repeat the above process from step three until the surface has had it’s 1st rough wash, making sure that you change the water regularly
- For the 2nd clean up wash, repeat as above. Pull the sponge across the tiles horizontally, dunk the sponge into the Pulirapid tank & remove the excess grout on the grate, then pull the sponge across the wheels to remove the excess water, pull the sponge back across the tiles and repeat until the whole area is clean
Why should I buy a Pulirapid washboy?
We love wash-boys because they make projects much faster, cleaner and more efficient. Like a lot of professional tools it is often very difficult to justify the the initial cost until you can start to see the benefits, but a Pulirapid washboy is much more than a bucket and sponge, especially when you take into consideration the amount of time that you will save by using one, it doesn’t take a long time for the wash-boy to pay for itself.
