.....but time is of the essence. I have 3 under 3 including 3 month old twins. I allowed myself the luxury of a cleaner for the last 3 months but am now going solo again on the cleaning.
Is there a really easy, effective, quick way to mop lino floors that anyone knows? I would happily spend £100 on a magic mop that would make this twice-weekly task really quick and simple, and actually get all the yoghurt crust off the floor...........
Ideas or product recommendations please
Use a wet cloth/wipe on hands and knees. Miles quicker, miles more thorough, can exert 'scubby' pressure for stubborn bits and much more effective than 'moving' stuff around with mop.
I have thrown my mop away.
Money no object?
Well then the answer is pay someone else to mop it
I knwo what you mean about filling the bucket! It just seems so irksome for some odd reason
I have a mop thing that you attach clothes- either disposable floor wipes or microfibre too, and it has a thing on it that holds cleaning fluid, then you pull the handle and it squirts a little out in front. It is great and I can do whole downstairs in 10 mins then just throw the cloth in the wash
It looks a bit like this
oneIf money was no object I would pay someone else to do it
mop and bucket, drop of fairy liquid and splash of white vinegar.
dont make it more than it needs to be.
I've a steam cleaner on floors (amongst other things), but not an actual steam mop IYSWIM. Steam cleaners are great but the one I used took an age to heat up and was the size of a hoover...
It works like
this one, but the cloths attach like
this.
Nah, it's probably the lavender oil that's making it sticky. Vinegar, water and a drop of washing-up liquid would probably be better.
I've got a flat mop with a water and detergent reservoir, it's as fuss free as sweeping. You pull a trigger-thing and it squirts in front of the mop. You are supposed to use special disposable cloths but I just use jay cloths and chuck them in the wash. It's made by Vileda but I can't find it on their site
It doesn't clean as well as a good string/jaycloth mop but it's fantastic for keeping things livable. I use it as and when and mop properly (with a real mop, properly hot water and multi-surface cleaner) once a week.
If you can't track one down you could always use any old flat mop and put the cleaning solution in a plant sprayer. The spray holes in my mop do tend to clog...
