I've seee some special little booties that you can put on the cats to keep their feet clean and dry hmm saw them on some daft American programme.

Two days? I mopped my kitchen floor last week, where there were footprints and general grime of the past three months, I think.

I can't do it again until the hardware shop man comes back from his holiday, because my mop head is knackered. Well, that's my story...

Too late, I'm plugged in, albeit without the Zoflora.

However, I am having a very small glass of wine blush . My friend "withit" just rang, and it's practically a Pavlov's dog response! I pick up the phone, hear her voice and before I know it I'm standing in front of the fridge with a glass in my hand! Anyway 10 minutes of inane chat later, half a glass down..................

Oh dear, I really don't know. I always moan at OH when he does not read the instructions so I have to stick with that and say don't add them there drops. Go for your safer option I say or just have a cuppa and forget the lot because the cats (and Mr P) will only make it mucky again as soon as your back is turned smile

Good afternoon all.

Yes, I have a steam mop, and I like it. blush

Now, as it's a nice day I thought I would clean the floors downstairs to remove foot & paw prints that have accumulated over the past 2 rain sodden days. (No point doing on wet days until the cat's have learnt to wipe their feet, and I don't think that is likely to happen in the next millennium. Mr P's not much better either, although I suppose I should just be grateful that he doesn't decide to come in through the kitchen window and mince about on the work tops for a while before being caught in the act and shouted at.)

I am very tempted to put just a few drops of Zoflora in with the water. ( I just love the smell of it). The instructions say you should never add anything, so I suppose I should just take that as gospel, but it is only disinfectant, not a detergent that would foam up and erupt like a small hissing Vesuvius.

Would you risk it? I suppose the safe alternative would be to mix a solution in an old squirty cleaner bottle and spray lightly before steam mopping.

Apologies for boring topic & post.
