How often do you mop your floors?

[kid-at-heart]

I vacuum carpets once per week.

I also vacuum the wood floors with the beater bar switched off

I probably push a damp washleather across the wooden floors maybe one per month.

In between I may do spot cleaning with spray and cloth.

I shampoo the carpets with a soil extraction machine once per year.

We don't wear shoes in the house, but not every visitor we have will remove shoes and so I have to spot spray sometimes.

We have no pets and two sons. 16 and 18yo

ps. yes I am a man

What is a "washleather"?

 

[Aardvarks]

What is a "washleather"?

My bad.........a soft leather cloth which is soaked in water with a little vinegar and detergent.

Wash Leathers are made from sheepskin and are imitations of Chamois or chamy leathers

In Yorkshire we tend to say Washleather as opposed to wash Leather or chamois leather.

The type of thing that you dry your car (automobile) with

heh, I love the little differences in english language around the world

I am supposed to MOP???????

Twice a year, whether it needs it or not!

I generally mop once a week, sometimes less, sometimes more. It probably needs it more, but ohwell.. lol - the space is tiny anyways
We have vinyl floors, and can't wait to replace with hardwoods!!

Eh.."old lady" here and old habits die hard.. LOL

Old Lady? Aren't you like in your mid 50's or something?

 

[Liberty Belle]

Once a week.

I vaccum every day.

Cleaning is actually something I enjoy doing.. I have less energy when I do "nothing" than if I do "something".. (Actually, in terms of the therapy, one of the principles is getting up and moving around - not sitting idle..) But getting back to the cleaning, I've always washed floors on my hands and knees - nothing new there - LOL.. LOL..

I have that "Old Lady" habit too!

I get rid of nervous energy but scrubbing, when I cleaned homes a few of my customers asked if I could change their day to any day that I was irritated with my DH . Seriously, people deal with anxiety in different ways, I also need to work it out physically and then I always feel like I channeled it in a positive direction.

If either of you two have extra nervous energy you want to get rid of, drop by. My place could always use some scrubbing & cleaning!

I'll be taking care of the tub.

Cool drinks are on me.

2 dogs 4 kids- should mop more apparantly. Usually once every couple of months. and by couple I mean 6. I vaccum often but mopping- eh not so much. Particularly on the hard wood. It's a huge pain. mop, dry, mop , dry. I HATE it!

You are making it way too hard. Get a good microfiber mop or some good microfiber cloths. Make sure that the cloths are not too wet, you will not need to dry the floor. My finishes are still pretty good, the pine is almost 8 years without being redone but need it now. The oak is 5 years, gets beat up becasue it is in my greatroom and still looks good but will need a new finish sooner rather than later.

My DD says the same thing

 

[browneyes106]

One or two times a week it depends on the weather and mud situation.

[twinmomplus2new]

Old Lady? Aren't you like in your mid 50's or something?

Based on the average age here (and some of the things I see people post about their mothers), I would be considered "old" - I'll be 60 in the early fall.. It's also kind of a joke - based on a conversation with my DGD - where I mentioned something I'd always dreamed of having.. She sighed, patted my knee, and said, "Grandma, you're going to be 60 in the fall.. The dream is over.."

Well I don't have "nervous" energy, but I sure do like to clean! How much are you paying?

 

[disneystacy]

I mop the kitchen floor 1 or 2 times a week. The wood floors get mopped weekly. The bathroom tile also gets mopped weekly.

 

[Ekon]

I just vacuum and sweep, or ill get that fancy mop thing with the pads on the bottom.

 

[lecach]

I mop whenever one of my feet sticks to a spot on the floor. The last time was last Friday.

Don't even ask me how often I change my sheets

 

[Luv2Scrap]

I generally just throw a little food on the floor and let the dogs lick it clean.

 

[omghidanielle]

Every Monday!

What fun!

LOL Everyone always says they clean more when they get a dog, I clean less because she cleans the floors for me! I sweep less and mop less - it was noticeable when we got her. (She is a non-shedding dog so she doesn't add much mess - as long as I catch her at the door if she's been digging in the yard!)
