    Yep, I do. I keep mine in the garage as I have a lack of storage space.

    I use a mop and bucket. But, i don't feel THAT gives a really good clean. When i feel mobile enough, i get down on my hands and knees with a bucket, a scrubbing brush and a towel to dry. It happens really rarely, but looks amazing when done. :)

    This. Although thankfully for me, it's my flatmate that does the floors. :j

    I use a lightweight steam mop, I love it! It has washable micro-fibre cloth heads that go in the washing machine.

    I have a vast expanse of stone tiled floor to keep clean, judging from the dirt on the cloth it's doing a good job. The floor dries really quickly too.

    I use a mop and bucket for the kitchen floor, but use wet wipes for the bathroom one - it's so small it's not worth getting the mop out...

    I use a mop and bucket for the kitchen and bathroom though i do use a soapy cloth round the edges of the bathroom as the corners accumulate hair/dust.

    I have a mop and bucket and also a steam mop as described above. plus I use wipes for the bathroom floor as its too small to bother with either type of mop unless I have them out for other rooms.

    No mop and bucket here, not because I don't have room for it, I don't think a mop makes a particularly good job of cleaning the floor. It also wipes along the bottoms of the kitchen units, which will in time become stained.

    I have just washed my hair in the sink. I used the rinsing water, with a splash of wash up liquid added, to clean the kitchen floor. I got down on my hands and knees with a floor cloth made from a scrap of cut up sheet. I like to get close up to the job. :)
    I love skip diving.
