where do you keep your mop and bucket

[SusanSocks]

after a discussion with dd
i keep the mop in the garden
but owing to dd having to clean spillage she doesnt think it should be kept in the garden

Cupboard under stairs with hoover, ironing boards, clothes horse etc

Same

but isnt the mop head wet?

Cupboard under the stairs too, when the mop head is dry. It languishes propped up in the utility room whilst it dries.

It’s hung outside the back door in our little ‘porch’/covered area.

I don’t own one!

To be honest I don't dry the mop head out no. Are we supposed to?

Indoor mop = cupboard under stairs, along with hoover, broom, etc.
Outdoor mop (kennel, boiler room, outside loo) = in outside loo

DH designed our kitchen and it has a cupboard with no lip on the floor so the hoover can be rolled in and not picked up. The mop hangs on the inside of this door once dried. We don’t mop often though it’s more spot cleaning spills and as a shoes off house it doesn’t get dirty that quickly.

Ive had this row with my mum. She kept putting mine outside. With animals and rain water. Our mop now has washable cloths at the bottom so it is kept in the utility room and the mop bit washed after use.

i believe so

I have a dry mop ie using a damp cloth at the end of a stick, so indoors on the kitchen wall

I always put the mop in the bucket and keep both in the cupboard where the boiler is.

Every now and then I throw the mop head in the washing machine, it's a classic string mop.

Otherwise I leave it in the utility where it dries off eventually.

I don't have a mop. We have one of those electric floor cleaners with rollers and that lives in a kitchen cupboard, the rollers get washed after every use and dried on the warm kitchen floor (underfloor heating) in a corner out of the way. For instant cleaning up of spills we use a J cloth and water in the sink.

In the downstairs loo/under the stairs.

i could try the downstairs loo i guess
thing is if it is sitting there wet it will soak the floor and dh will complain,
no room for the bucket in their as well

My mop comes with pads that are removable so they get bunged in the washing machine and I dismantle the handle of the mop which fits in the bucket and it's in a corner of my kitchen.

I just put my wet (but wringed dry) mop into the bit of the bucket you squeeze it out in. Then it dries but if it drips, then does so in the bucket.

In the garage.

I don't have one. I use one of these with a washable cloth www.vileda.co.uk/products/activemax

This.👍
Mop head does not have to stay attached to the handle while it is drying.

In the summer, the head will go outside to dry.

In the hall cupboard.
If I had a utility room I'd keep it in there.
The garden seems a very strange choice, as it's likely to get dirty outside and it's use is to clean floors.

In the garden, though I've just bought a cheap (£24) steam mop so I can get rid of it altogether.

it is upright in the garden
fine in the summer
less fine in the rainy weather
