Resolve this argument: surface cleaning

[SimultaneousEquation]

Option 1: spray multiple times per square metre, wipe with kitchen towel.
Option 2: spray two or three times per square metre or direct on stubborn marks, wipe with damp cloth.

Your verdict is final.

Neither. Spray with gusto but not overzealous then wipe. Are these seriously the instructions given?

I wouldn't use a damp cloth on a sealed wood surface so I'd be wanting to use kitchen roll or similar to remove all the wetness. 1.

Stubborn stains with dedicated sponge. Then kitchen towel with antibac spray. Don't like damp cloths.

Damp cloth.

I couldn't be using acres of kitchen roll and binning it, what a waste.

I probably spray too much because it smells fab!

2 although id do it randomly to naked sure the surface would get some of the product at some point

Using a damp cloth depends on what type of surface you have I suppose. The cloth would also have to be given a hot wash every day to remain clean probably.
I’m really bad and use surface wipes 🙈 I know I shouldn’t but I try to offset it somewhat by taking the train or walking everywhere I can, recycling where possible and having a compost bin.

I spray all over and then wipe with a wet disinfect wipe , then dry with paper towel.

Spray all over and wipe with a cloth, then dry with kitchen roll

A anti-bac wipe will do during the day for cleaning up small spills

1. Can't clean without water and don't like using paper towels because of the waste.

When I was a teenager I worked as a chamber maid. They taught us to spray the cleaner on the cloth because you would be sure the product would get everywhere the cloth touched.

Pressed too soon.
So dampen the cloth, fold the cloth and spray 3 times on to cloth. Move to next surface, fold cloth and spray again.

Depends if the surface is greasy or sticky. If it's sticky, damp cloth. If it's greasy, kitchen roll. If both greasy and sticky the sticky is easier to deal with first, then the greasy. Damn, I hate cleaning!

Option 2. Damp cloth, no drying or dry with another cloth. No wipes or paper towels. Cloths washed in a 60 degree wash with eco detergent.

Number 2 purely based on the fact that using kitchen roll is a total waste. Why?

I’m more amused on the fact that two people would actually spend their time debating this, then turn to the internet to settle the “arguement”!

Option 1, just habit, not much thinking has gone into it!

I agree, I try to avoid kitchen roll

But these two steps with accomplish exactly the same thing. Are you bored, OP?

I agree that kitchen roll isn't environmentally sustainable but I maintain that something dry (a clean microfibre cloth) is better than a wet cloth.

Spray on the surfaces then wipe with a damp cloth. My husband uses those awful green sponges and leaves the surfaces soaking wet, it makes me want to kill him. This is my favourite cleaner by the way!

As its this particular one, I spray the surface then wipe witha damp cloth. If its a small spill, I'll spray the damp kitchen towel and wipe. Ths stuff needs wiping off properly not like Dettol surface spray which I usually use.

It depends. Are there crumbs/debris on the surface? If so, do a dry wipe first to remove them, then, and only then, spray product or soap and water, then wet-cloth rinse, then dry with dry soft clean cloth.
Also, it depends on what type of surface you are cleaning, of course.

I take cleaning dilemmas quite seriously!

Spray the cloth, wipe the surface.
