I've got a spin mop, a bit of a gimmick but I love it!the floors come out very clean and dry in seconds. I also have a steamer for more thorough cleaning.

I used to use the S-wiffer wet wipe cloths.Then I noticed that there was a build up of a film of dirt that wasn't being removed.


For quite a while I've gone back to using a mop and bucket with some warm water and a splash of washing-up liquid and bleach,and am very happy with the results.

I've wondered about a steam mop, especially with a view to cleaning carpets and upholstery. I've read good reports of them.

Well this was one of the reasons my DH bought me a steam mop, to do the carpets, but it was a waste of money and didn't make one heap of a difference. I didn't see any difference in my floors either and it took ages to get done. Hence why it was given away and I went back to my mop and bucket, and even DH agreed it was a waste of money.

But different strokes for different folks an all that. I'm just sticking to the things from the olden days instead of these new super dooper inventions.

Mop and bucket. Its all a conspiracy to make you spend cash on carp you dont need. I hate disposable wipes.

I used to use a mop and bucket. I think the mop became thread bear and the bucket got compost in it (Don't ask ) So now its a squirt of something in the sink and microfibre cloth and down on my hands and knees.

Did you think the steam mop wasn't much good on carpets Irish Rose12?
