if i use 2 buckets when I mop the floor?

[bohemianbint]

Basically I just do not see the point of getting clean, soapy water to clean the floor and then squeezing filthy water back into it. So I use two buckets. Is that so weird? DP thinks I'm a bit odd.

To be honest, it's a fairly momentous occasion if I bother so I don't mind being a bit scrupulous.

What an exciting thing to post about, slow day in the bohemian house....

dh has suggested selling the afformentioned jack russell on ebay. Would use the money raised to but 2 new buckets in order to do the mopping properly.

ooh, is this still going?
i haven't cleaned my floor today! not even with 1 bucket![hangs head in shame emoticon]

Does the colour of the bucket matter?

Here in Boho land the buckets are a kind of psychedelic marbled colour explosion. Of course.

But there's hole in my bucket!

Dear Ivor, Dear Ivor

My bucket actually has a gutter at the bottom which collects dirt so it's very ineffective (as well as having the aforementioned hole.)

ooh, a woman after my own heart

I use gallons of water (albeit in 1 bucket) to try and dilute out the filth.

It enrages me to see DH mopping the floor with a paltry 1 litre of water And when I challenged him about it he said, 'it really is time you went back to work'. Twat.

bump

I do it in the sink...

rinsing the mop that is, and I use that dettol stuff you spray directly on the floor and there is no need to rinse

Should i mop my floor?
I tend to wait until I've smashed / spilt something on it, that happens fairly regularly

I used to scrub it on my hands and knees with a cloth

I've started doing it maybe twice a week these days, as opposed to twice in 3 years before el bebe arrived. Only cos he spends so much time face down trying to lick it.

Upside is I suppose its shedloads cleaner than carpet...

Have to clean floor a lot these days with niological washing powder as pesky jack russell (Yes, he's still alive) like to wee just by my pull out unit.

oh good god woman, b-i-o-l-o-g-i-c-a-l

oh, and pesky jack russell had also chewed through the hover cable yesterday but didn't find till this morning when i went to use it.

Wht couldn't he have have chewed it whilst it was plugged into the electric socket and turned on!!!!!!

'hover' cable... is that a new appliance

When i shove it up pesky jack russell's arse it will be!!

My new bog brush!
