My moneysaver for you - cleaning floors

I dont know if this is the right place or not, but Ive only been in here. I wanted to share my new found purchase with you for all your help with the breadmaker recently.
I have laminate floors in 4 of my rooms and used to clean the floors on my hands and knees .. I had looked at the viledaand flash sweeper thingys in the supermarkets.. the ones where you attach a wipe to clean the floor and I had been shocked at the price.... usually well over £10-00 :eek:
Well today I have overcome this
I bought a bottle of stardrops yesterday and I watered it down with water in an old cleaned out flash kitchen spray bottle ....
And today we had to go to B&Q as one of our fence panels had blown down and snapped the post... so had to get a new one
Well I was looking at the laminate flooring and noticed a sweeper thing like the vileda/flash ones for £5-00 so now i have attached a cloth to the sweeper thing and I spray a little of the made up stardrops on the floor to clean it ....
How cheap does that work out!!! I estimate that the bottle of stardrops has cost me 86 pence and watered down will probably make about 20 bottles of spray... and the stuff is really powerful... other half is a roofer and its lifting all the black stuff off the white doors...
sorry for rambling.. but Im so pleased with myself, my finds, and you lot :beer:
