Another vote for hands and knees and an old teeshirt or whatever. You can't rub with a mop. Don't do it that often though, but it does get it clean.0

Mop and bucket for kitchen,living room and hallway and then dry with a towel.For the bathroom and seperate toilet I just get on my hands and knees with a cloth.
Do the kitchen,living room and hallway with a cloth occasionally.
Never got on with wipes,just don't like them and they don't leave the lovely scent of flash with febreeze!If women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0 -

Thanks. Unfortunately haven't got a Wilkos in the local town. Will have to wait until I get to the bigger town but probably won't be for another month. Will just have to carry on giving the floors a quick wipe over with the mop.

Thanks Jill but haven't got a Poundland near where I live. Nearest one is about 50 miles away!

Mop and bucket for me, but because I have a tiled kitchen and want to avoid a slip hazard I throw down an old hand towel, stand on it and then do my own little "shuffle" dance to dry off the wet floor and stop any footprints being left.Jan - June Grocery spends = £531.61

I have laminate flooring throughout the living room so I have to use a mop and bucket to give it a clean
Just purchased one of those flat mops which attracts all the dust and bits-hoovering a laminate floor just doesn't work
I agree with the previous comments-it's a good workout!0 -
Can anyone tell me where I can buy a scrubbing brush? I've been trying to get a new one for ages but none of my local shops seem to have them, not even the old fashioned hardware shop.

Supermarkets do the plastic ones with a handle on top, quite good for corners and small areas imo, but for larger expanses i find i can still get the big flat topped one from my hardwre shop....have you asked...they might hide them somewhere...i find finding things in our hardware shop a nightmare! I wonder if somewhere like robert dyas might have them online?0 -
Mop and bucket here too!
I use a good quality Vileda set and plenty of elbow grease! Kitchen has quarry tiles so once every blue moon I scrub with a firm brush and specialist tile and grout cleaner.A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Started 15/03/2011.

I use floor wipes because all the rooms with floors that need washing are small. It wouldn't be worth getting a mop and bucket out and it only takes about 3 minutes to do the kitchen and dining room. The boys rooms and bathrooms take about 30 seconds each. I found with a mop before that it didn't clean the floor all that well. I used to get on my hands and knees with a pan scourer and give it a good scrub before i started using wipes.0
