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?

Agree, you don’t want wet socks! I’d use a sheet of kitchen roll but I’d operate that sheet using the sock.

Some people put sugar in it, sugary tea or coffee can be really sticky.

I would get a straw and suck it up
Waste not want not 😀

Dogs are particularly useful when you drop a raw egg too. And then wipe with a cloth (the floor, not the dog!).

A mop? Are you ok?

Spray of cleaner and kitchen roll.

this kind of mess happens all the time in my house. I’d never put the mop away if I got it out for this type of thing!

A mop? Blimey no. I'd clean it up, but I'd just use a cloth.

Sock and then the sock in the washing machine, I'm a classy laydee

That's what kitchen towel is for!

If I got out a mop every time I spilt/splashed/dropped something, it would be out permanently - I am the epitome of a full on klutz, even when I am being extra careful ! That is what cloths, kitchen roll etc are for....

No I wouldn't start mopping the floor over a splash of coffee.

Are you uptight generally?

Sock!! My mother wouldn't just turn in her grave, she'd claw her way out and be knocking on my door, to give me an ear full.
Kitchen roll or one of the dog towels here. Mopping is OTT.

People are actually using kitchen roll instead of a cloth. Not the other way round.

My son knocked over his whole glass of squash at tea time today.

I didn't mop. I used a cloth and kitchen roll!

Coffee is only sticky when it’s full of sugar

But it wouldn't be if wiped with a damp cloth (like a normal person would).

I’d wipe with a cloth

Sock or cloth yep

That is what kitchen roll is for.

Tea towel

I raise you: the mighty kitchen towel

This is my preferred method 👍

Not a chance am I mucking around with the mop for a small slop of coffee. Kitchen roll is perfectly sufficient.

Tea towel smushed around with my socked foot

Tablespoon’s worth, kitchen roll. Maybe a sock but not if I was wearing it, don’t want a wet foot. 😁
