I'm really struggling with the kitchen floor.
If I hoover it, it doesn't pick up areas around the edges, sweeping it leaves stubborn bits, if I mop it with bleach it's wet and sticky, if I use floor wipes it takes ages, there must be a simple way.

Please be kind this is my first time living away from parents and I have mastered the rest of the housework, I just want to know the easiest way to clean the kitchen floor.
My mum would scrub every inch and then dry it and polish it etc but I don't have that sort of time, I just need to do in 10 minutes to fit into my cleaning routine.

I use something like this - you put a floor cleaner diluted in the bottle (something like Flash, you don't need much cleaner to water), then just spray as you go. Its nice because you can just put the cloth bit in the washing machine, so super quick and simple. It's better than using wipes - quicker and less waste, but same principle.

Get a small hand brush do the edges and corners sweep into the middle hoover up.i have a flash spray mop that squirts out I just run that over the floor, how much cleaner to water are you using if its still sticky you might be using too much cleaner.

I sweep it, vacuum with a nozzle anythig stuck in the corners then use my steam cleaner.

If your floor is sticky after mopping you are maybe putting too much bleach in the water or you need to go over it with clean water. I don't use bleach at all so I'm not sure.
