What is a Washboy?

Traditionally grout cleaning tools for tiles or slabs, comprised of a simple bucket and a large sponge, that were used to clean up grout that has been pointed into tile joints. The development of washboys & pedalos have completely revolutionised grouting, 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 is also no longer any need to get hands wet and dirty, ensuring a cleaner job all round.

Simply put, a washboy allows a tiler to increase their speed when grouting and ensures that a perfect clean up is achieved.

3. Submerge the sponge into the clean water

5. Move the sponge in horizontal motion across the tiles and grouted joints to clean off excess grout
6. 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.

Why should I buy a washboy?

We recommend washboys because they make projects faster (save up to 40% time compared with traditional cleaning with a hose and water), cleaner and more efficient. However, 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, however with the Tile Rite Budget Tilers Wash Boy Set it’s much more economical – and so much more than just 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. You may even want two!
