| How do you mop? What do you use to mop your floors? I used to use a swifter wet until I found out that they're bad for the dogs! Now I don't know what to use and my floors are in desperate need of a scrubbing! I'd really prefer not to use a bucket of water and a real mop if I can help it because I'm going to end up with water all over the place! Please tell me what you do?

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I have hardwood through out so I usually use some murphys oil soap and hot water with a regular mop. I don't like those swifters becuase 1) they run out of dampness once I finish one room and 2) I don't feel like they really clean the floors.

| I hate mops. I always just get down on my hands and knees to clean the floor with a pet friendly natural type cleaner.

I hate mopping but I do love to sit on the floor and walk barefoot so it has to be cleaned.

| The rumor about Swiffer not being safe for pets is not true. http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/swiffer.asp With that being said, I use both dry and wet Swiffers. ETA: I know the article refers to "Wet Jet" but it's all the same, I assume.

| I have always gotten down on my hands and knees. I have recently got a Shark steam mop! Love it , love it. I will never get on my hands and knees again. I have marble tile on my dinning room floor and down the hall and tile on the bathroom floors. On the kitchen floor I have Pergo. It does a wonderful job. Done in 15mins. I will never be without one. |
