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.Life's a beach! Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes.0

Good old stardrops! Dilluted in warm water – on hands and knees wiping it over!
Leaves my kitchen (laminate) and bathroom – (tiled) floors very shiny.0 -
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.Was 13st 8 lbs,Now 12st 11 Lost 10 1/4lbs since I started on my diet.0

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...0

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.Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:
