Beava Washboy

Professional tilers, and even those who are novices, love the Beava washboy for its numerous benefits. Let’s take a look at how the Beava washboy is specifically engineered to make grout cleaning enjoyable and efficient: 

Detachable Wheels

The wheels of the washboy make it so much easier for you to move it around without necessarily having to carry it to other areas of your tiling projects. These wheels have brakes to make your washboy secure and fixed in one place, reducing the risk of spillages. Plus, these wheels are fully detachable which is ideal for transporting the washboy in your van when travelling from job to job. This benefit is also a great space-saving solution! 

Spiro-wash System 

What makes the Beava washboy truly shine is the spirowash system: this wrings out any excess grout and water, so you’ll end up with just the right amounts on your sponge. You can keep your tiled area clean and drier thanks to your new washboy.  

Effective Bucket Design 

The washboy bucket is designed with a generous 24 L volume capacity, featuring a built-in ridge. This mechanism adds strength and durability to the washboy, ensuring that it doesn’t buckle when containing a high volume of water and excess grout. 

Comfortable & Ergonomic Handle 

The handle of the bucket features a grip, so you’re sure to carry it safely and comfortably even when the bucket is wet. This handle allows you to carry the bucket with ease from day to day, whether you’re cleaning grout from a new kitchen splashback or carrying the bucket through a busy job site.

When cleaning excess grout, using the washboy is as simple as ever - and that’s why pro tilers love them so much. Helping you turn a messy job into a quick routine, these simple steps will result in beautiful tile finishes created by you in no time: 

Step 1: Fill The Washboy Bucket To The Grid 

Apply the brakes of the bucket to secure it and then fill the washboy with clean, cold water all the way up to the grid. Ensure that around 20mm of clean water sits above the internal plastic grate to leave the top portion of water completely clear for washing, while the space underneath the grate acts as a "trap" for heavy grout sludge to sink into.

Step 2: Dunk The Beava Hydro Sponge 

Dunk the Beava Hydro Sponge so it’s entirely submerged in the clean water. 

Step 3: Use The Spiro Wash Rollers 

Once you have dunked your sponge into the cold water of the bucket, you can go ahead and then place it flat on top of the spiral rollers. Roll the sponge horizontally across the rollers away from you once or twice to ensure that the spiral grooves squeeze out any excess water into the bucket. 

Step 4: Wipe The Tiles Diagonally 

After having made sure your sponge is damp rather than soaked, you can now wipe excess grout from the tiles in a diagonal motion. Wiping diagonally ensures the sponge glides smoothly over the tiles, leaving the joints flat and full.

Step 5: Rinse & Repeat! 

After wiping excess grout 2-3 times from your tiling project, you’ll notice that the sponge will be covered in grout film. You can repeat steps 3-5: dunk it back into the water, scrub it against the grate, roll it across the Spirowash system, and keep going until you have a perfect finish.
