Whether the driveway in front of the house or the apartment, the terrace or the stone path in the garden: at some point thorough cleaning is due. The joints are particularly annoying. An electric joint scraper can help with this.
There are gardening tasks that can even be fun: planting peppers, sowing lawns or garden design. But then there is the work, which is just annoying. Cleaning dirty joints, for example. To make this task a little more bearable, there are practical helpers. One of these is an electric grout scraper, also known as a grout cleaner or grout brush. What you should consider when buying and which models are worthwhile.
Here’s what you should know about grout scrapers
If you use “manual” joint scrapers, you will know that your back will hurt at some point if you don’t use an extension or a handle for it. When buying an electric floor scraper, everything should be right and it should ideally be height-adjustable so that you can adjust it to your height. At best, the brushes can be exchanged so that they can be used for different surfaces. The great thing about these helpers: they are usually so powerful that there is no need to use pesticides to remove dirt. Further information on the use of an electric joint scraper:
- Use the metal brushes to remove stubborn lichen and moss on non-sensitive surfaces such as paving joints, sidewalks or streets.
- Use the plastic brushes to remove weeds, moss and lichen or other dirt on scratch-sensitive surfaces, such as wooden terraces. You can also use these brushes on the balcony, etc.
To use: You push the device along the joints so that the fine bristles can penetrate the narrow grooves and loosen dirt. The splash guard ensures that the dirt does not fly around uncontrollably.
