Floor cleaner

Justholdingon · ‎10-17-2011

hi everyone.

does anyone have a good suggestion for an antibacterial cleanser for bathroom and kitchen floors? i don't like the smell of pine sol.

is mr. clean any good and how does it smell? i don't want anything really strong as I have bad allergies and migraines which are set off by strong smell.

'thanks for your suggestions 😃

@Justholdingon I have a Bissel Steam floor cleaner that came with tery cloth washable pads. It only uses distilled water and no cleaners because the steam disinfects and the pads clean. It's wonderful and easy too. Aside from that, most all cleaners are scented and chemically laden, but you could always try vinegar with water, it's a disinfectant and all natural.

I also use a steam mop on my kitchen/bath floors. I have linoleum so steam is okay with that but if you have laminate flooring then don't use steam b/c it will warp laminate flooring.

@Justholdingon,

I use vinegar. It is an antibacterial as well. I like the smell a lot but my kids hate it.

They don't live with me so it's ok I even use it for a mouthwash

I was going to say vinegar also, Target sells some natural cleaners I think it's the Method brand that should be fairly decent smelling. I know they are popular.

I use a shark steam mop hot steam with a washable floor pad cleans and sanitized floors.I used filtered water. Shark just came out with a new steam mop that the floor pads actually spin in a circle. I bought our steam mop last year. She I saw th improved new steam mop I like the mop we have but that one looks like it would clean even better.

Another thing to consider is outside shoes. They have been in things I would not want in my house. Mine live outside my doors exclusively.

Last night I went down to the high school for a game, yikes my hands seemed sticky. Can not even imagine what is on my soles.

@KittySoftPaws I always get on my hands and knees to mop the floors - I realize that everyone cannot do that BUT how do you clean your baseboards if you use a machine to clean the floors?

I have a Bissell steam mop that I swear by. It uses tap water or cleaner. I stick with the tap water because I have allergies and migraines.

I also use the Bio Cleaner that I purchased from QVC for any other scrubbing needs. It doesn't bother my allergies or migaies and you can mix it to the strength that you want.

This is what works for our home.

@Justholdingon I don't know what they did to lemon scented Mr. Clean but it smells like a dirty NYC subway station bathroom.
