Question: I am in charge of 8 frozen yogurt shops which all have tile floors (2000sf each on average). We have been paying a company to come in monthly to clean the tile/grout and want to explore purchasing the equipment to do it ourselves. I would like the know the best machine to take care of this keeping in mind that the equipment must be easy to use and portable so we can move between our locations.
Answer: The term "best" is to vague. "Portable" could mean trailer mounted to transport between locations.
Here is an example of a great gas powered tile cleaning machine.
Are we talking about gasoline powered or electric?
Please read:
On electric systems, you have to decide if you want power or more portability.

Do you want an all in one machine like

But can you lift a all-in-one electric portable in and out of the service truck? It requires team lifting or a ramp.
Do you want to use a pressure washer with a vacuum recovery unit?
Pressure wash with
and vacuum recover with a flood pumper
Prefered separated system:
One Goliath Flood Pumper
with the BEPressure P152EC
This is a very aggressive pressure pump with a most aggressive vacuum recovery unit with auto dump.
Purchase a tile wand that can clean inside on tile floor and outside on cement side walks.
Then you have a system that clean farther than any all in one system (because you are hooked to the sink - offers the longest hose runs), faster, and cleans more surface types and areas. I have equipment that is easy to lift in and out of my van and transport to any job site.
