There's no need for cleaning with chemicals if you get yourself a steam cleaner (we have a mop one and also one that's a bit like a drill. Honestly, they lift any stains, it's like pressure cleaning the deck, except it's just blowing the beige/black out of grout lines. They do have high pressure modes but that's more for stubborn corners you can't reach, it's normally just hot steam and a brush, I've not bought bleach for years.

Oh damn you might’ve convinced me to get another gadget (I’ve been abusing my little green Bissel spot cleaner this past week on all sorts of carpet stains and it’s the best!!) Thanks for the recommendation.

What model(s) do you use, if you don’t mind sharing? I looked into getting one and found the variety a little overwhelming.

Sorry, I'm on vaca right now, not back till the new year

There seems to be quite a few variants on the hand unit for doing taps/showers with, I guess they're all about the same

For floors there seems to be more of a range, possibly because you might be doing a small apartment or you might be doing much larger place.

If you're uncertain you could try going the Craigslist route, then if it doesn't work out you can resell and it won't cost you anything other than time and a few bucks gas money
