How often do you mop/clean your floors?

And what do you do use to clean them?

Ex...traditional mop, swiffer, steam mop, etc.

swiffer wet a few times a week.

I have a cleaning person that mops every other week and she uses clorox on the surfaces she can and other solvents for the hard wood floors and laminate.

Re: How often do you mop/clean your floors?

Sweep almost every day, vacuum & mop 2x week. I use a mop similar to the swiffer wet jet, but it has a reusable microfiber pad and you can use your own cleaning solution (I used vinegar & water). I scrub the kitchen & bathroom on my hands and knees once a week (I can't use the vinegar because I have travertine).

I dont think you're a dirt merchant! Chat Icon

I think it's totally dependant on the family and how "lived in" your home gets. In my case, DS makes a mess of the floor every.single.time. he eats. I mean, you would think WWIII occurred under my kitchen table. So, I have no choice but to sweep and swiffer every day or we would get bugs. But if DS wasnt so messy (and before I had kids) I could go several weeks in between touching my floors.

Re: How often do you mop/clean your floors?

Our house is combo of laminate wood floors and area rugs. I clean them every weekend, area rugs are vacuumed every weekend, at the same time I also use a Swiffer Wet Jet on the wood floors (kitchen, entry/hallway, and bathroom floor).

I have let it go 2 weeks though without vacuum/mopping and it got really nasty (I dont wear shoes in the house but DH does).

Re: How often do you mop/clean your floors?

I vacuum the living/dining (wood laminate) and kitchen (tile) pretty much every night, every other. We have a cat and DD is a messy eater Chat Icon. I spot clean the floors during the week and we mop on the weekends. I vacuum the bedroom rugs each weekend or every other.

THIS! And its been awful recently. DH is doing some construction work on the house and there is CRAP everywhere that even if I wanted to clean the floors I couldn't. Plus it feels likes its pointless because there is only gonna be sawdust and crap everywhere 5 minutes later. Its awful.

i also was feeling ashamed I only sweep 1-2 x per week. and a mop; maybe every 2 weeks. But it's just DH & I. If we had kids; I'm sure I'd be doing more cleaning up behind them and especially if they were crawling/playing on the floors!

(We have hardwood throughout w/the exception of Tile in the kitchen)

Re: How often do you mop/clean your floors?

Answering my own question...

I mop every other weekend.

I vacumm every single day.

I'd love to mop every weekend but it's a pain in the neck and we're always so busy around here!

it's Dh's job, and i have no idea how often he does it. I don't really pay attention. It looks clean enough to me most days.
