What steam cleaner do you use? The type I'm picturing is confusing me with this application

Basically any steam cleaner that uses a pressurized boiler and has a fine nozzle attachment will work. Something like this: https://www.mccullochsteam.com/shop/steam-cleaners/mc1275-canister-steam-cleaner
The smaller handheld versions work, too, but if you’re doing a whole room you definitely want the biggest pressure vessel you can get.

I have a handheld, and borrow a non-handheld if i have to.
The handheld is one of the variants you find if you search amazon for "handheld steam cleaner". There are a few real companies there (dupray, etc), and the rest is everyone selling the same mass-produced models.
I have one of those :)
If you are trying to steam clean cement grout, then using something larger because it will take a bunch of steam pressure to clean it.
For a non-cement grout, it's usually just stuff stuck on top, so it takes a lot less steam to get anywhere. Just enough heat + pressure to unstick it. Which is easy for a handheld.
