ok boring Q but I really want to know, what way do you clean the kitchen floor? I am loathe to get down on hands & knees (pregnant), but those mops always make my floor really wet!

Can you not shuffle along on a towel or something after mopping to dry?

actually i wish i'd got down on my hands and knees more when i was preggers - maybe then i wouldn't have had a blardy posterior baby

next baby the kitchen floor is going to be a-sparkling...

No no no crappy flash mop that sucks you into spending a fortune on their wipes.

No no no

Rant over

Try the lakeland microfibre mop, for me it was lifechanging

I have a great mop that I bought at the Ideal Home Exhibition. It's micro-fibre, and I just use that dettox stuff that you spray on the floor and then mop over.

Agree with WC - those mops with the wipes are a total pain. They are always coming off.....arrrggghhh!

Depends on the size of the kitchen. Occasionally I get down with hot water and cloth and it looks lovely. (medium sized kitchen). Most of the time I use a sponge type mop and it is a bit messier but loads quicker. (however it is rubbish round the edges)

Have just seen a really cool steam mop on Amazon. I want one of those now!!

lol then fall asleep on the sof while he mops the floor

maidamess · 13/06/2008 19:24

I push those wipes around with my Vileda squeezey mop. It works fine.

ScienceTeacher · 13/06/2008 19:32

I use a Flash Power Mop

Hands and kness is the only way to do it properly imo. In any case, lot of time on your knees is supposed to make the baby turn and avoid a breech birth.

onepieceoflollipop · 13/06/2008 19:49

whatdayisit I had a breech baby and no amount of floor scrubbing turned her. The consultant had to do an ecv!

I scrubbed 2 bathroom floors and a kitchen floor and still no luck
