Recommend a mop

My dettol power mop or whatever its called has just snapped - can anyone recommend a good replacement?

I dont want a normal mop and bucket.

I have wooden floor in kitchen and laminate in conservatory - I dont do the kitchen floor half as much as I should as I cant find the right tool

So, come on....what do you use to wash your hard floors!?

I use those Dettol wipe thingys where you fix them to the end of the mop. I also use the same mop with antistatic dust cloths for the wooden floors in the bedrooms.

I like the fact you just throw the dirt away!

I feel terrible buying throwaway wipes so I just sweep up the big bits then use a floor cloth. Good exercise and it's cheaper.

Having said that, I should add make sure you use a spongy kneeling pad so that you don't damage your knees long term!

I've just bought a mop from B&Q that has a squeezable sponge on it and a scrubbing brush bit for stubborn marks, dirt - used it at the weekend and its brill!
