How do you clean your floors??

[Hshhshsh]

Exasperated...just been on my hands and knees scrubbing textured flooring with a scrubbing brush using flash floor cleaner. Changed the water during the clean and moped it up with a towel after.
Used a baby wipe to test how clean it was after and it was still dirty!
Where am I going wrong?? Any tips greatly appreciated.

How often do you do it? I clean them every 2, max 3 weeks and they are manageable.

Sweep daily, hoover and wash with a mop with boiling water containing washing up liquid and a bit of beach.. I do it at least twice a week bit if I can see anything on it I wash it immediately. I then polish the wooden floors with method wood polish. (Obviously not the tiles and stone). It's very quick even though it's a large area. Using boiling water also means it dries very very fast.

I try and mop quickly every day or two downstairs. Once a week in bathroom. I use bio washing powder in hot water if they've been left.

Bought this at the start of lockdown. We have a lot of tiled floor and quite a bit of hardwood flooring. It vacuums at the same time as washing and sucking the dirty water back in. I find it so quick and easy to do the floors now. It used to be my least favourite job.
I use the Vax branded floor cleaner in it and, if I’m doing the wood floors, I squirt them with the Method Wood Floor cleaner stuff too.

Well, if you can't tell that it's dirty without using a baby wipe, then it's clean enough... right?! (Misses point.)

Bissell Crosswave. Does our heavily textured LVT really well, and so easy! Vacuums and cleans all in one go.

Do you wear shoes inside the house? Have pets?

We have a crawling baby who keeps getting dirty knees!

No but we have a dog and live in an old style terraced house where the front door opens into the dining room!

Thanks everyone for the tips, I'll definitely look into the vacuum/mop combi machines too!

I have a similar set up, it’s a nightmare to keep the floors clean. Things that I’ve found work (you probably do some/all of them already but sharing in case it helps):
Two door mats (a substantial one outside and a washable one inside - wash the inside one regularly).
Shoes off.
Wipe/wash the dogs paws if it’s been a muddy walk (in winter this is a lot but it does help - have you tried those paw washer things?)
Clean just the floor of that small section of the house more regularly than everywhere else.

Or alternatively: robot mop! They used to be a bit shit but might be ok now? You could have it just in that room and time it to go off every day. But I might be living in dream world a bit with that idea...

Cheap steam mop. Socks seem to stay white 🤣

another vote for bissel crosswave. life changing.

With a crawling baby might be worth doing it once or twice a week. But just a mop should do it, I rarely get on my hands and knees and scrub. I have a hallway runner because I found just the doormat wasn't collecting all the bits when people walk through in shoes, I Hoover it frequently.
