    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.

    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!

    Wilkos for sure have them

    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.

    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!

    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?
  • 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.

    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.
