A grout cleaning hand tool includes a grout cleaning head assembly with a removable brush subassembly. An elongate handle extends upwardly from the grout cleaning head assembly and is held by an operator in a standing posture. The elongate handle includes a handle rod held by a first hand of the operator, and an auxiliary T-grip handle held by a second hand of the operator. The brush subassembly includes a long narrow bundle of bristles secured to a base, slidably mounted to a channel of the grout cleaning head assembly. The handle rod and the T-grip handle provide ergonomic positions for the operator to exert downward compression forces on the grout cleaning head assembly to facilitate cleaning grout lines in tiled floors. The brush subassembly may include a brush handle for detail-work grout cleaning while holding the brush subassembly close to the floor when removed from the head assembly.
