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.

We brush ot hoover then use a spray mop, hand scubbing where necessary. We also use a Vileda spinny mop. You get a bucket with a spinny thing to wring the mop out. Use it about once a month.

Stop using bleach. You'll ruin the floor surface.

Use a teaspoon of wash up liquid and a little white vinegar (no more than half a cup) in a gallon of hot water, mop, then go over the floor with a thoroughly rinsed mop and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.

Sweep it a couple of times a week with a silicone broom. Use dustpan and brush to pick up the bits. Mop it with hot water and any old floor cleaner once a week. I like the Vileda magic mop because you don't need a special bucket, but the mop head doesn't get sopping wet and it's easy and cheap to replace when worn out.

You don't need wipes, bleach or a hoover.
