well about two years ago i was in an agricultural suppliers looking at all the kit farmers can get as i'am always looking out for tools that will cross-over from different trades ,anyway i found something like that, that the farmers used in cow sheds to get rid of muck, it was basically a rubber squeegee like we used to grout tiles with years ago two pieces of wood sandwiching a piece of rubber, but much bigger and on a pole so i bought one and we used it on a swimming pool floor that i had tiled with mosaic, it worked But it could have been alot better IMO if the rubber was softer !! which this is so that might be a good bit of kit !!!

Been using my new Raimondi pedlo this week on a 38 m2 porcelain floor which does save your back,knees and time and my next buy is going to be one of them squeeges.(providing there are some good responses to this post !)

I havent used this one but we used them years ago and they were great for the old quarry floors grouted with sand and cement.

We used the same type on the big floors, as Neale said using sand and cement. Not sure how they are with grout, I'm sure they would be fine.

I use something smaller and similar when doing a large area of mosaic. Never used on floors though. I like this, and at a score it's worth getting one just to try it.

I've seen them used but not used one. Left a fair bit of grout on the floor to be honest compared to just getting on your hands and knees IMO. The washing off always takes longer then and that's when you're getting wet so I'd prefer to spend a bit more time grouting than washing off. Just IMO.

I bet with lovely flat ceramic or even porc they'd work really well. On large formats though you're still making the grout go over the tile when it probably doesn't need to be on the tile much.

I can see them working wonders with quarry's with thick grout lines and obviously relatively small tiles to what you all fix these days. Bet they used them when doing factories in the time of pottery industry boom. They were all quarry floors. Easy to repair, and even remodel the factories.

i think they would be good for sand /cement on flat quarries.
but if you need to get a flush joint then you would need to compact more . probably ok on a commercial site with wider joints than 2-3mm
