    Ceramic and quarry tiles I clean on my hands and knees using hot water, washing up liquid and a dash of bleach, an old rag and a scourer for the grotty bits. Every fortnight I follow this with liquid wax and buff.

  • Good old stardrops! Dilluted in warm water – on hands and knees wiping it over!

    Leaves my kitchen (laminate) and bathroom – (tiled) floors very shiny.

    I have gone back to using a "normal" mop after using a microfibre flat one for a while

    I use really hot sopay water with a little bit of bleach added

    It makes the tiled floor really clean and shiny :)

    I use stardrops in water on my laminate, wring a micro fibre out and mop, then when dry use a dry microfibre cloth to buff the floor up, works a treat. I never use polish on the laminate, it is too dangerous.

    i just bought a large mop and a bucket on wheels from a wholesale catering company.and i can use anything really like ppl on here have said,the mop is sooo big i can do a large kitchen really quick.

    alittle more expensive but well worth it.:D
  • I've got tiled floors downstairs and parquet upstairs. I vacuum the tiled floors then mop with water and vinegar. They are white though, so I tend to do them every other day...

    My floor looks best and cleans the easiest with hot water and a squirt of star drops.

  • a string mop and bio washing powder for me. Though I keep thinking I could do with toothbrush on the old grout that kim and Aggie did on tv but it lookes such hard work, and I have bad knees too.
