How often do you mop your kitchen floors?

[WinterLobelia]

Having this conversation with a couple of friends today.

I mop my floor every day. I have a teeny tiny kitchen though and white floor tiles which are the bane of my life. It takes well under a minute.

Friend 1 has a very large open plan kitchen and pale terracotta tiles. It;s mopped when her cleaner comes once a week.

Friend 2 thinks she might mop every couple of weeks at most. She has dark tiles and a large kitchen and (perhaps most importantly) no muddy dogs!

There is no point to my question. Just a random musing that I am interested in! (It's a slow news day Chez Lobelia).

Once every couple of weeks.

I don't do any daily housework apart from filling the dishwasher and a wipe of the kitchen surfaces.

Bloody hell

Mine are matte wood effect ceramic tiles which really don't show dirt. They are swept when they need it which can be multiple times a day or just every other day or so. They are wet cleaned maybe once every 3-4 weeks, but spills are cleaned up immediately with a cloth.

I hoover every week and steam mop it every other week. We have black and white patterned tiles with dark grout so marks don't show up too much. We don't have dogs or wear shoes in the kitchen so the only real mess is toddler occasionally dropping food on the floor.

Very rarely! I sweep frequently. We don't have crawling babies or a dog, so that's a big help. Also we have a natural wood floor and it doesn't show the dirt I'd say once a month at most. The water in the bucket isn't that disgusting when I tip it away. I loathe mopping with a passion, it takes so long to dry!

Daily as have dogs who manage to find mud in a summer heatwave

Not very often but I did do them today!

They get hoovered 2 or 3 times a week though

Hoover every day. Mop once a week. I'm a lone parent who works ft so don't have time to do every day! I have 7 rooms and clean one properly each day of the week.

Vacuumed once a weekish. Have been mopped twice this year so far (& as I was doing it a couple of days ago I was impressed with myself for doing it so soon after last time 😂) Doesn't tend to look awful though I don't think

Every day

Grey porcelain tiles no pets small people though 😬 it's robot vacuumed every night and steam mopped every other day or at least once a week if we skip it. Always horrified and bemused by the dirty pads given that we don't wear shoes in the house 🤔

Once a fortnight.

Not often enough. I spend a lot of time thinking that floor will need mopped soon .

Never. No shoes, young kids or pets in the house. Hard floor so it gets vacuumed every so often.
If I drop something it gets wiped up. I gave it a good scrub with a white flannel once, barely a spec of dirt on the flannel.

We have wood effect tiles and they hide dirt wonderfully so mine was being done about once a week with spot cleaning when needed BUT I got a robotic vacuum and it mops too. I thought that would be just a gimmick but actually it makes a good job. I spray the floor with antibacterial cleaner and I put warm water in its tank and let it get on with it. We have wooden floors too and because it uses so little water I’m happy to let it do those with it as well.

When inhad young DC and a regular cleaning routine it was swept most days and mopped once a week. Now it's done when I notice it needs it.

Daily when I had a dog, now every 3 days or so

Non shiny terracotta, small kitchen. Just the two of us. I'd like to do it every day because it definitely needs it, but realistically 3-4 times a week.

Love these threads which invariably end up as a scrap between the competitive cleaners and competitive mingers.
