What type of cleaner do you use on your floors?

[TwoBees]

I'm looking for an EASY wet-mopping system for daily use on our lineolum kitchen floors (DD is now eating, and dropping, her purees). Something (hopefully) greener than Swiffer wet or wet jet. It would be a bonus it it worked on our hardwood floors too. Any recs?

We use this for hardwood and sometimes our kitchen floor.

What type of material is your kitchen floor? Would that work well on linoleum?

I could have written your post precisely. I have been using a Method floor cleaner that you just spray on and mop off, but I only have a sponge mop and I just can't do it anymore. :barf: Thanks for posting! :popc1:

Hot water and vinegar.

Can a steam cleaner be used on hardwood?

Can a steam cleaner be used on hardwood?

Yes, as long as it's sealed wood.

I use a steam cleaner, too. Not daily like pp though!

Before I had the steam cleaner I used hot water&vinegar.

Hot water + vinegar folks--what kind of mop do you use?

No mop...hands and knees.

On our kitchen (vinyl) I use a Colorox ready mop; on the laminate wood in the basement, I use a Method o-mop with Good For Wood.

Water + vinegar, and we use a microfiber mop. We just toss the microfiber part in the washer afterwards and air dry. I've been thinking of getting the Bona system, but this setup works well for us. For everyday cleaning I keep the vinegar solution in a spray bottle, spray the floor, let it sit for a few seconds and then mop.
I also have the Envirosteamer, but I don't use it everyday. I really like it, and highly recommend it.

ETA: For our hardwoos I also use the steam mop, and the damp microfiber mop (water + vinegar)

Libman wonder mop.

I'm bumping this because I was browsing the cleaning section of Target this afternoon and I found this:

https://www.rubbermaidreveal.com/

Has anyone used this? It seems like the perfect solution for me...a spray mop that allows me to use any cleaning solution I want.

I found something similar:

http://www.libman.com/products.aspx#/Mopping/ (the Freedom Spray Mop, first one listed)

These look like good options... I'm curious to hear if anyone uses one like either of these.

I'll have to see if Target has that and price compare. I like this idea!

Let me know what you find out... I'm on my way to Sam's club, will see what they have! (You know you're a grown up when you get really excited about a new, potentially really cool cleaning product. :shake:)

Ha ha, I'm pretty excited too. It'll be a few days before I get a chance to get it, but I'll report back with a review.

Bumping this again because I did in fact stop at Target last night for the Rubbermaid Reveal mop (http://www.rubbermaidreveal.com) and used it on our kitchen (linoleum) and den and hall (wood) floors.

So far, I like it. You can use any cleaning solution you want (I used Method's wood floor cleaner but didn't love that---going to try Bona next), and the trigger spray does not require batteries. The spray covered a decent-sized area, and the mop head did a good job even though I didn't sweep/dust the floors first (note: I didn't have any big messes to clean, the floors just needed a general wash). The mop head does not have a scrubber part, so that's a slight negative. But it is washable and reusable, and came out of the machine looking fine. I bought an extra refillable solution bottle and mop head, so that I can use a different solution for the bathroom floors, and swap the solutions when needed. Mopping was fast and easy.

Target also had the Libman Freedom mop (http://www.libman.com/) that boogiemomz posted about. This was $5 less than the Rubbermaid, and had a $5 rebate sticker attached. BUT the mop heads were ~$2 more expensive and I did not see any additional refillable solution containers for purchase (and looking on their website, it seems that they are not available). Also, the Libman mop head can be reused 50 times, and the Rubbermaid mop heads can be reused 100 times.

If anyone else uses/has used one of these mops, please add your review. I'm curious!
