How often do you wash your floor? Daily, weekly, monthly, never?

What do you use? Swiffer wet jet? Mop and bucket? Scrub brush?

Preds — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 17:37:04 GMT

Daily with this.

Weekly with spin mop and steam mop whenever I have the urge.

I got a Swiffer Steamer when I had a coupon. It's doesn't clean the floors and those dumb Kotex looking pads are expensive. It's useless. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good floor steamer?

I like that. What do you use to wet the pad?

H2O(I think that was the name) floor steamer was my favorite one. I liked it a lot better than the one I have now, but I can't think of the name of my current one. They sold it on the Q.

Kitchen floor? Weekly, sometimes more in the bad weather. I've gone back to a regular mop; used to use one of those steamer things but they're not all they're cracked up to be.

Holly ... I just stick the pad in Hot water with Lysol. Sqeeze it out, stick it on and take off.

Was it the Thane H2O? I think they sell them on Amazon.

You're response made me LOL I have a dry Swiffer & just tuck the corners of microfiber cleaning cloths into the little slots, instead of buying those wasteful disposable cloths. I'm also in the process of knitting some from a sturdy cotton yarn.

I have an H2O floor steamer that works well for me, & also rig up my own pads for that, too.

Oh thanks for explaining. I like the concept of it. I use disposaable swiffers but they are expensive.

I have a microfiber mop like the one Preds showed. I use murphys oil soap. I have a monster steamer but I don't think it does a thorough job.

I try to use my dh since my back operation but he isn't good at remembering or seeing it is in need so I get out my mop and bucket. I guess today is the day.

Now I have an image of you sitting in your rocker knitting little Kotex looking pads for your Swiffer. So comfy and homey.

Funny story that has nothing to do with anything: I use the dry Swiffer on my hardwoods and the wet swiffer (the one with the pads, not the jet thing) for quick clean-ups on the tile. Well, my mother calls the Swiffer, the SWIFFLER, and my aunt calls it the SWIFTER. So whenever the Swiffer needs to come out, my family cracks itself up calling it all the wrong names. Dumb post; carry on.....
