Anyone get the mop and bucket out

I wouldn't give the spinning mop 5* either coolgran65 It still left the floor very wet. I don't really like mops at all having seen a few very unhygienic looking ones.

I’ve had mine for 5yrs no problems at all I believe OH ordered it from QVC.

I do mop my floors and was interested to read of the spinning mops. I looked then up on Amazon but couldn't see any that had the full 5*. Some seemed to have many snags. Any recommendations?

I have a steam mop. It spends a lot of time in the shed.

That was to Mrs Posh kitty.

Oh I love Riding Shotgun by George Ezra

Ooh. Get you Madam!!!

I try to be out of the way when my cleaner does whatever she does!

Bona mop.
Or a large floor wipes on each foot.

Not country music gilly but bit of Riding Shotgun with George Ezra

The mention of red cardinal reminds me of leaving my toddler in the playpen beside the kitchen drawer that had all the polishes in. When I returned after making the beds the whole side of drawers, all the wall at her level and all her hands face and clothes were covered in red cardinal. I don't know how she got the lid off the tin - this was in the 1960's. Took me hours to get off and I have kept well away from the stuff ever since.
I still 'enjoy' getting the mop and bucket out for hard floors.

I never jump out of bed for anything ( especially at 7 a.m.)
But well done for being so energetic ( and clean.)
There is something cathartic about washing the floor I suppose ( note to self.....do it more often.)

Hate mopping, now use a steam cleaner. But mainly it's the faff of moving everything first, the kitchen stools, the bin, cats' bed and food bowls, door mat, and then sweeping the floor first. I dont do it very often..... In emergency will use a floor wipe.

No idea where the expression came from Pantglas1 but it is a very satisfying description isn't it.

Oh. Can you clean floors?

Oh I'm glad it's not just me then

Yes, I find a bit of good hard cleaning ( not tooo often!) can be very satisfying.

EllanVannin, I'm with Urmstongran on this.

What can be wrong with your granddaughter helping her gran out & who will know if you give her a few bob?

I use kneepads. It actually doesn't take much time to use a wood floor spray and a bucket of rinse water and do the floor, baseboards and all. I can whip thru my floor in 10 minutes. In my opinion, it takes longer to use those darned swiffers, which uses wasteful throw-away pads and seem to just move the dirt around the floor!

Tell your granddaughter it’s ‘Pocket money’ and like a lot of kids, she has to do her chores first!

I have a steam mop but recently bought one of the spinning mop buckets and it's much more satisfying and dries my ceramic floor tiles much better. Quicker too - I clean my laminate flooring with it too.

Love that word ‘bottoming’ soda pop...wonder where it comes from? I always do a good bottoming before leaving Wales/Spain but it’s a bit of a ‘cat’s lick’ in between times nowadays. My standards in some areas have plummeted as I’ve gotten older and yet other stuff I still insist on a proper job!

eazybee how I hated that cardinal polish and all the work which went with it.
I steam clean once a week and use wipes on a stick the rest of the time as I can't kneel. My husband will occasionally do the floors on his hands and knees when things need a good
'bottoming' .

I'm sitting on the stairs waiting for it to dry just mopped the whole of the downstairs i do it once a week. I do quite enjoy it.

I suppose so Gonegirl, and I don't suppose anyone would know she was here other than visiting. It just scares me.

Obviously my guilty feeling.

EllanVannin just do it "cash in hand". She is a relative helping her granny out. Who's gonna know if you give her a few quid?
