I HATE cleaning. I absolutely hate it. Comes from a childhood of living in a house where we could barely set foot on the floor for fear of marking it.
I have trained myself and got better over the years. I declutter at least once a month so that there is less to clean. I try and make sure I wipe all the surfaces with a polishing cloth at least once a week to avoid the dust build up.
I've realised I am a little bit psycho weird about dirt/dirty water/dust/stuff in general so I wear rubber gloves to do all of this.
I hoover every day/two days due to very hairy dog. I have a Monica cupboard that gets emptied once every 6 months and it all goes to tip/charity/etc. I try and fit small jobs in like wiping the sides while I'm waiting for the kettle to boil, etc etc.
I need help with floor mopping. We have a wooden floor all through downstairs, oak engineered floorboard. Currently use mop and bucket. I just want something to make the job easier, I hate it so much so I don't do it enough and then it's harder everytime. If that makes sense.
Can you give me your recommendations for the best mop?
I had a steam mop years ago but ended up breaking it in half (I think I put too much pressure on it whilst trying to push it along the wooden floor?!!). Is mop and bucket the best way to go?
