Hi.
I used to like cleaning floors with a powder like Flash. When shops stopped stocking that, I used to use handwashing powder like Daz. That has become hard to find and quite expensive.
It seems now that all I can find is liquid to go with some expensive 'Speed Mop' or 'Power Mop' system.
Any recommendations for Money Saving alternative?

I don't know if it would work for you, but I clean my floors with just water and a little vinegar - and a normal mop. You don't need anything special usually.3

In the past I've cleaned the vinyl floor tiles in my kitchen with a tablespoon of sugar soap dissolved in a mop bucket of hot water (gets rid of all the grease) and a few drops of washing up liquid. But, as per @weenancyinAmerica's suggestion, a little white vinegar works just as well. Rinse with clean hot water with a drop or two of Zoflora disinfectant added.Be kind to others and to yourself too.4

I use this stuff which lasts a long time, even if you clean your floors more frequently than I do!

Food
Food for all is a necessity.
Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy.
Food is a human necessity, like water and air, and it should be available.

I have vinyl flooring. I mix 200ml of white vinegar with 50ml of washing up liquid. From that I take 30ml and put it in hot water and then mop. I took it from Nancy Birtwhistles book.2

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I have white vinegar and Zoflora already so will probably try that first..... and then try all the rest because I can't resist trying something new.1
