ABSTRACT:
A tool useful for cleaning and removing excess grout from a tile surface, be it cementitious or epoxy resin grout, while additionally forming and smoothing the grout joint comprising a rigid rectangularly-shaped plate, the scrubbing pad sized and shaped to conform to said plate, said scrubbing pad being of a fiber-like consistency, an elongated handle connected to the upper portion of said plate and said handle being connected on a universal joint to allow relative movement between said handle and said plate in two perpendicular planes, and a connector for affixing a pad removably to the bottom surface of the plate. The pad is of a fiber steel wool-like consistency such as the pad known as SCOTCHBRITE, a trademark of the 3M Company. The tool is used in conjunction with small amounts of water and allows the pad to apply equal pressure while having variable movement around the edges, corners, and the like to apply a scrubbing pressure to the surface of the tile and the tile joint.
