Anyone else would mop, right?

[DewDropsAndCobWebs]

You pour yourself a coffee, and as you turn away from the counter, a tablespoons worth falls to the kitchen tile.

You would mop that up right? Not leave it, or "wipe it up with your sock".
Right?!

Am I being unreasonable to think anyone else who spilt coffee would get out a mop and clean it properly?

I'd use the mop, but only because it lives nearby and is usually damp from the last floor washing.

Er nope
Kitchen and wipe it up (or use dirty laundry lurking on floor gradually for washing machine)

I’d get the dishcloth, but no way I’m mopping!

I’d grab a paper towel.

My gosh no … kitchen roll then an antiseptic wipe or dishcloth
Mop out and all that palaver for a dribble of coffee , no chance

I wouldn’t get out a mop, but we use reusable cloths in the kitchen (instead of kitchen roll) and I’d use that to clean it up.

Filling a mop bucket seems like overkill.

ETA - are people saying they’d use their sock aware of how much a tablespoon is! That’s quite a lot of liquid on your foot.

It’s be really over to top to get a mop out for this. And it’s even more so to judge someone else for not doing. Interested to see how dramatic the drip feed is though

No. I’d use kitchen roll or a cloth.

Sock.

Kitchen towel or sock, no way would I do a full clean just for that

Nope bit of kitchen roll will do

Dustpan, baby wipe, sock.

Not mop

Kitchen roll

No! You don’t have to mop the floor for a tiny spill. Wipe it up with a cloth. I wouldn’t use my sock though.

You mop the floor because you spilt a bit of coffee? Just use a bit of damp kitchen roll

Coffee: bit of kitchen roll
Tea: the dog would lick it up before I got there.

Umm, I probably wouldn't go and get the mop. I'd either leave it, use some kitchen roll or probably the sock.

It took me longer than expected to realise that by sock you meant “ with foot in it “. I’d use either kitchen roll or a tea towel and bung it in the wash.

I read that and thought you meant you skipped the weekly mopping if the dog had weed. I'm a scruff, but even my standards are a bit higher than that.

Black sock or white, OP? MN needs to know.

Kitchen roll, tea towel or dishcloth, whichever was closest at hand

Surely you don't get the mop out for every spill? Do you have children and a job? Thers no way I'd have time to get the mop out for every spill.

Get the mop out for a tablespoon’s worth of coffee? Why would you want to make extra work for yourself when a cloth or piece of kitchen roll would be perfectly adequate?
Or are you the mumsnetter from a week or two ago who insisted it was only right and proper to wash your hands before emptying the dishwasher?!

(Spoiler - I’m old, fat and lazy and absolutely the wrong person to ask about cleaning.)

No. A piece of kitchen roll would do the job.

Bit of kitchen roll? I would only get the mop out if the spillage couldn’t be cleaned easily with a couple of bits.

Kitchen roll
