I haven't mopped my bedroom floor for 10 years

[wednesdayadamsontuesday]

This is true.

I have obviously hoovered it. (Having said that, hoovering is only once every 6 weeks or so)

The thing I hate is having to move all the furniture around. Under the bed is harboured with dust, but who even goes under their bed anyway, right?

I was going to ask if this was really disgusting but now I'm looking at it in black and white.. I think I already know the answer..

How often do you properly mop/hand clean your wooden floor?

Amazon.

) it feels ... almost greasy (
why not just mop it? it's a two minute job.

What?

my wooden floor is hoovered daily and mopped twice a week. No shoes in the house.

Every two weeks and I'm an MN slattern who only does the bathroom the same regularity!

You don't need to move furniture to mop though?

I definitely wouldn't call it 2 min job.

And I guess I wouldn't need to move furniture but then there's probably 10x more dust and dirt under the bed/behind chest of drawers etc.

It's one of those jobs I'll keep putting off that's what got me in this mess!

Do you regularly lick your floors? Do you mop your carpets?

This is genius. Dog hairs under the sofas drive me wild.

We have carpet upstairs and in bedrooms (obviously not in the bathrooms) but wood floors in the hallway, front room, downstairs loo. It gets mopped (by the cleaner) once a week and hoovered (by me) every day. Grotty floors are my pet hate, I probably run the hoover round my kitchen about 5 times a day as I find bits on there which I find horrible!!
Not sure where I’d stand on mopping bedroom floors if they were wood though. I would assume monthly.

Robot hoover downstairs every night, proper hoover 1-2 a week, kitchen mopped with flash mop most nights, proper mop once a week. Upstairs we mainly have carpets other than DS's room service has floorboards but mostly covered with a huge rug, it's hoovered once or twice a week and cleaned with method almond floor cleaner in a spray microfibre mop thing once a week. Bathroom mopped twice a week

I let the robot hoover loose upstairs about once a month because it gets under the beds etc

Hard floors get dirty- the sort of grime you can't hoover up. I bet if you wipe it with a wet wipe you'll see how dirty it is!

Surely only mops in kitchens.

Assuming you mean wet mops

Get a robot hoover. They are great at doing under firniture. Then mop it.

Good for you, for your immune system and for all womankind. Wish there were more people like that.

@Pancakebatter, or even a combined robot hoover and mop?
I am barefoot most of the time and hate walking on hard floors if they don't feel clean.

Yes, somebody has their face - and hands which then go in the mouth despite my best effort to wash them first on my floors at least once a day at a minimum. 😂 I have baby/toddler aged children. Carpets can (and should if you ask me but maybe I’ll not care once I don’t have small children) be washed as well.

PP, the best thing for your kids' health is to let them play in mud and nature. Failing that, a dirty floor. Not a bleached floor.

I trump your wooden floors with my carpets, they do get hoovered once a week, but I don't move furniture, and they have never been cleaned.... been here 20 years.....

I hoover and mop every 2 weeks, sweep every week. I don’t move everything every time, we have stuff under the bed so it’s mostly dust around the edges.

Thank goodness - the voice of sanity!

(I've never mopped our bedroom floor. It's just never occurred to me to mop it! It gets hoovered weekly...)

Now I’m worried about the difference between spray mopping and a ‘proper mop’ - thoughts? I only spray mop as I thought that was a more efficient way of mopping?

Never done my wooden bedroom floor in 20 odd years! It feels and looks beautiful!

I vacuum once a week and wash about once a month. If I never washed, the floor would be filthy.

No time for shagging with all the mopping that needs doing.
