You need higher PSI than you would get out of regular extractors.  Washing stones and grout under high pressure is an absolute requirement.

Check out the porty power and turbo hybrid wand at this link:

I think the nearest distributor to you is:
COBB CARPET SUPPLY
Phone Number: 214-634-2622
1314 VICEROY DRIVE
Dallas, TX  75247

My porty has a built in heater but with any porty with doing t&g cleaning, the heater won't keep up. There's too much water going through as the same as pressure washing. It's around $3.500 - %4,000 for the porty and then your tools. I usually run anywheres from 800 - 1,200 psi. Have to be careful that you don't blow out any grout. If you know how to do grout repairs it's not too bad.


Have a good one. Mark

Just sign up for a class in your area on Tile & Grout (check with you local big carpet cleaning supply house for a schedule), pay the $250 or so for a class and learn what works and how to do it.  You will save yourself $thousands on repairs to customer's homes. 

No way to sugar coat it, taking shortcuts in learning the trade is a one way trip to dead man's curve with no brakes.

I got a new way to wipe out all the stains on the tiles. Thank you very much for the reply of duckcountry especially. I'll go for that product very soon.
