The Sandia 10-0859 is the 12-inch hard surface turbo brush attachment that converts a Sandia Sniper-1200 carpet extractor into a tile and grout cleaning machine. Mechanical scrub action plus the extractor's vacuum recovery lifts soil out of grout lines that mop-and-bucket work cannot reach, leaving sealed and unsealed tile dramatically cleaner in commercial restrooms, kitchens, and entry vestibules.
Use Cases
- Janitorial crews adding tile-and-grout service to existing carpet extractor inventory
- Restoration techs cleaning hard floors after water damage or contamination
- Restaurant kitchen floor cleaning where grease drives soil deep into grout
- Restroom deep-cleaning programs in offices, schools, and healthcare facilities
- Entry vestibule and lobby tile cleaning in commercial property maintenance
How A Turbo Brush Earns Its Keep
Cold water and a string mop redistribute soil; they do not remove it from grout lines. The 10-0859 turbo brush spins as the extractor recovers water, mechanically agitating tile surface and grout while the vacuum lifts the loosened soil and dirty solution out simultaneously. The combination is what separates a tile floor that "looks clean" from a tile floor that actually is clean down into the grout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work on my non-Sniper extractor?
The 10-0859 is built around the Sandia Sniper-1200 fitting and pressure spec. It may physically attach to other extractors with similar quick-connects, but you will likely lose pressure or vacuum performance - the geometry is matched to the Sniper. Stick with the Sniper-line tool unless you have specifically confirmed compatibility.
Is 12 inches the right width for my work?
Twelve inches is the productive sweet spot for most commercial restroom, kitchen, and entry tile. Smaller widths slow down large floors; wider tools struggle with corners, around toilets, and against walls. If you are cleaning open warehouse or supermarket aisles all day, a wider rotary tile machine may make more sense - but for the mixed commercial floor mix, 12 inches is the right call.
Does it work on stone, polished concrete, and other hard surfaces besides tile?
Yes, with care. The brush is engineered for tile and grout primarily, but it cleans most sealed hard surfaces effectively. On polished or honed stone you should test first - aggressive brush action can dull a polished finish over time. For routine cleaning of well-sealed stone and concrete, it is usually fine.
What chemistry should I run with it?
Most operators use a hard-surface alkaline tile and grout cleaner pre-spray, dwell 5-10 minutes, then run the turbo brush extracting with hot water. Rinse with clean water on a second pass to lift remaining residue. Avoid combining acidic and alkaline cleaners in the same pass.
