Does anyone still use a mop and bucket

Mop and Bucket here in this house also. I'm not one for buying all the new fancy gadgets etc when an old fashioned thing does the same job and hasn't done the generations before us any harm.
DH did buy me a steam mop last year when it was on offer through here lol, however it was rubbish and I wasn't convinced so gave it to his sister and went back to my old faithful.
Same as the liquid soap things, don't see the point in them, when a bar of soap hasn't doe me any harm all my life, disinfectant for worktops etc, again don't do that as water and a drop of bleach does the same thing.

I often wonder how people these days would survive before all this useless c**p was invented. I'm old style all the way, my granny lived until she was 103 years of age and didn't need any of it, so I'll live by her ways.

Yes, I use a mop and bucket. My mop is also the shredded J-cloth type.

yep - mop and bucket here. Cheap, cheerful, gets the job done quickly. Hate anything involving wipes, they're just expensive rubbish IMO.

I bought myself a £25 steam mop from Asda about a year ago which I use. It has 2 washable pads - I get by with this very well.

Failing that, I go back to my mop and bucket (but I use 1 laundry washing tablet instead of proper floor stuff)

I spray a bit of multi surface and use a cloth on my hands and knees but my kitchen is tiny. My bathroom and toilet are carpeted which is ridiculous but it's a rented flat.

Mop and bucket for me too. Just hot water and washing up liquid or sometimes bit of bleach. Not both together.

I`ve tried most kinds of mop/squeezy sponge/flat wipey things, over the years and always gone back to the plain old string mop-head and plastic mop bucket. I DO insist on having unscrewable mop-heads, and usually have about 3 on the go at a time. (Used mops go in the WM with rugs so they don`t get that musty whiff).

Mop and bucket here too! The mop has strings like a j cloth.
Last week though, I cleaned our small bathroom floor on hands and knees with a washable microfiber cloth and then rinsed and put in washing machine.
