I have the help do it.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Daily with this.

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

I use the same mop, love it, couldn't live without it! I bought extra microfiber pads (6!!!) because after the winter thaw, my backyard is MUD CENTRAL and I have three dogs. Until the ground dries and firms up, that mop sits by my patio door. I make each pup wait so I can try to get the muddy paws tended to, but it's hopeless. My floor must get mopped at least 6 times a day and then I throw all the pads in the washer at bedtime and they're ready to go again in the morning.

I just use white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.

I have a Haan steamer that I use on weekends, especially in the kitchen area.

This is what I have used for many years and love it! I have laminate floors, and it works great - I use white vinegar and hot water, too. Don't know about Murphy Oil on my laminate. Better not.

Mop and bucket. Used to do the hands and knees routine but can't anymore.

I'm not keen on using disposable cleaning cloths.

You're supposed to wash the floor?

I use a Haan.

On my hands and knees......about once a month

That's the bathroom for me. Maybe VC can knit us some kneepads. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

No, I'll just go out & buy you some Kotex that you can tape to your knees

I clean my laminate with one of those mops Preds posted.

I sweep more than I mop. Mopping, only when company visits. (hands and knees, the old fashioned way)

I have hardwood and tile. I wash them once a week.

The hardwood in my kitchen gets washed with water and 7th generation dish liquid.

The bathrooms are tile and get washed with hot water and 7th generation laundry liquid.

Same for the tiles on the front porch and entryway in to living room. Liquid laundry detergent.

I use Quickie mops (sold at Lowe's) and a big blue bucket on wheels. Different rooms get different mops (I don't wash kitchen floor with mops I used in bathrooms).
