    Have black porcelain tiles and i vac then mop using a drop of bleach, vinegar and washing up liquid and the hottest possible water. I find that i have no streaky bits either using the vinegar.

    Vacuumed when it needs it, washed on my hands and needs when I can be bothered! I always buff dry with a microfibre cloth which I find removed quite a bit of extra dirt that a mop would leave behind.

    Blooming filter bunged up whilst washing bathroom mats & the soapy water just poured out when filter cover removed to clean the filter

    I steam mop once a week and between times use just boiled water and the Tesco version of flash or a little bleach. I've got 3 dogs (one not fully housetrained pup) so the floor is getting mopped an awful lot at the moment, it's never looked so clean!
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D

    I use the white stardrops diluted in water as hot as my hands can take and (after vaccing up all the flipping dog hairs!) use a large microfibre cloth . Using a mop just leaves the floor too wet and I cant get in the corners - so its a hands and knees job. I find that the white stardrops gets the floor a lot cleaner than the yellow one , which leaves the floor a little sticky.
    Our floor is a mixture of half freezing cream tiles and half slate affect lino (scrounged from my mums kitchen )...both halfs clean equally well with this method lol!

    Mine's not very big, so I vacuum, then get down on hands and knees for a quick wipe over with a cloth. A couple of times a week it gets a really good clean with the steam cleaner:)
  • LOL, I feel very grubby now, reading about those of you who clean your floors a couple of times a week and daily. Let's just say ours isn't cleaned anywhere near that much! :D

  • My OH mops our small kitchen floor, once a week and uses Stardrops or Flash.
    There's only us two so that is sufficient.
