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 wash-boy allows a tiler to increase their speed when grouting and ensures that a perfect clean up is achieved.

How do I use a Washboy?

A wash-boy like the Raimondi Easy Washboy Bucket is simple to use, you just:

1. Apply the grout to the tiles or slabs as normal
2. Pop the disposable bag into the Washboy ensuring that the bag covers the rim securely
3. Place the separation grid and rollers back onto the washboy.
4. Fill the wash-boy with clean water approximately 20-30mm above the separation grid
5. Submerge the sponge into the clean water
6. Push the sponge horizontally across the rollers to remove excess water, making sure non spills over the edge onto your tiles
7. Move the sponge in horizontal motion across the tiles and grouted joints to clean off excess grout
8. 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.
9. Following this process above, leaves clean water above the separation grid to continue to clean your sponge each time you dunk your sponge into the bucket to clean the grout off
10. Continue to repeat the above process from step three until the surface is clean, making sure that you change the bag/water regularly
11. Dispose of the plastic bag with grout residue in a safe manner (Disposal usually to a licensed waste disposal site in accordance with local Waste Disposal Authority)

Why should I buy a washboy?

We recommend wash-boys 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, but a 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 washboy to pay for itself.
