When I grew up we used the mop n bucket type. But we’re taught to use boiling hot water n the water was changed regularly n floor rinsed. Worked great. The mops were washed in hot soapy n disinfected as well after use n dried in the sun. I personally love a good quality steamer with changeable pads. Not one of those tiny ones.

I’m the type that likes equipment to work for me, and not me working for it. I’m using a micro fiber mop now, I’m not happy cause I think it just smears a dirty floor, not clean it. I don’t like the spin buckets. I really like my string mops, but the issue is having to change out at each house🤦‍♀️in my head I’m singing a Blondie song “ One way or another I’m going to figure you out, I am, I am, I am”🤣 as always Angela.

I just recently changed to flat microfiber mops and I find it wonderful for hardwood floors but kind of tricky to use on tiles, I don’t have a streamer so I have to do it by hand on my knees to get the results I want. Is there any technique to use the flat microfiber mops without a steamer or should I just get a regular mop for that purpose? Thank you.

My full home is tile and bathroom is ceramic tile I have an old steamer I plan on using on the bathroom floor after seeing this video. But how do you feel about the E-Cloth? I like the mop bucket that spins but don't like to push around dirty water. I love swifter but don't love the chemicals. And I am currently using the Boca mop. I like it it's very easy to rip off and wash but I don't feel it's really doing the best with cleaning my floors. But I do love the concept and this is why I'm concerned about E-Cloth.

@AskAngelaBrown 11 ай бұрын

Using a steamer on your bathroom floor is a great idea! The E-Cloth can be a fantastic chemical-free option for cleaning. It's made with high-quality microfiber that captures dirt and bacteria effectively with just water. To address the concern of pushing around dirty water, consider using a separate rinsing bucket. Many people find E-Cloths effective. Alternatively, explore other microfiber mop systems or reusable mop pads. Find a method that suits your preferences and achieves the desired cleanliness. Happy cleaning! 🧹🚿

Angela, what cleaner do you recommend for LVT floors?

@AskAngelaBrown 11 ай бұрын

For cleaning LVT (luxury vinyl tile) floors, it is recommended to use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically formulated for vinyl flooring. These cleaners are designed to effectively remove dirt, grime, and stains without damaging the floor's surface. Additionally, it's important to avoid abrasive cleaners or those containing harsh chemicals, as they can cause discoloration or deterioration of the LVT. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific cleaner you choose. Regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose dirt and debris, followed by damp mopping with the appropriate cleaner, is usually sufficient for maintaining the cleanliness of LVT floors.

What homemade cleaning solution do u like to make for all floors?

@AskAngelaBrown 3 жыл бұрын

We use a pH neutral floor cleaner designed for the type of flooring we are cleaning. If you are cleaning ceramic tile, you can use water and a steam mop and you don't need any chemicals at all. At Savvy Cleaner we are house cleaners, we are not chemists. So we do not mix chemicals or make home made solutions. We leave that to the chemists who have had lab training and manufacturers who have safety data sheets that are logged with OSHA and the Globally Harmonized System. This way we can guarantee our cleaners are using consistent chemicals on their customer's floor and not experimenting with homemade concoctions.

Bissell cross wave works well in the kitchen for quick light floor cleaning. Does not scrub out shoe scuffs or heavier dirt on hard floors. Emptying the dirty water is easy... but really cleaning up the unit & filter after a couple of uses is a pain.

The problem I have with a lot of these mops is that the heads get dirty in the middle of cleaning a room, no matter what the head is. The stick-on kind need to be changed, don't they? Or, they need to be removed and soaked in some water to clean them. Otherwise, you are just moving dirt across the floor. And the one you showed where the mop is twisted just puts the dirty water back into the clean water.

I'm not a house cleaner, I'm just asking for myself. We have natural slate flooring, so many of the tiles are very textured. I vacuum about twice a day because our dog sheds so much. I had a steam mop, but it died. I would use it first, then go over the floor with Mop & Glow and a flat microfiber mop. Now I'm just using the microfiber mop, first with an all purpose cleaner, then with Mop & Glow. I feel like the highly textured tiles don't get as clean as I would like them to. Is scrubbing them with a brush on my hands & knees the only way to make sure they are clean?

@AskAngelaBrown 4 жыл бұрын

I probably still recommend a steam mop with a scrubby head. You didn't mention if your slate is coated or sealed, but you said natural so I'm assuming it is not. I would avoid chemical products on stone if the slate is not sealed. And if you can use a steamer to get the slate clean, it's less wear and tear on your body than scrubbing on your hands and knees. :-)

have you ever used a straight squeegee and a cloth (cuban mop, I think they call it)? Every housekeeper in Atlanta I had used this and the floors were always so clean. I finally learned how to do it and it's a game-changer (for me) plus the small surface area (the blade of the squeegee) puts a ton of pressure naturally, so I don't have to generate as much with my body. I can also constantly switch to a clean area of the cloth. But is there a negative about them? Why don't I see more about them, for example, on this video?? I squirt each area of the floor with my odoban water and squeegee/scrub it up! Anything harder to remove, you step on a corner of the towel and go at it with your foot - I love mopping now!! But is there a downside?

Hi. Angela, after seeing this video, I think our kitchen and bathroom have Travertine tile! We moved into this house where the tile was just laid. Five years later, the white grout is dark tan. The white tile has become tan, especially in traffic areas. No shine. We depended on house cleaners, but we don’t know the cleaner they used. One scrubbed floors on her hands and knees. Another used a damp mop. I’m the senior that bought the Hommitt after seeing your review on that. I’m hoping the Hommitt can help clean that. Any help would be really appreciated. We can’t afford a professional Travertine tile service. One video said this kind of tile needs a least yearly service

Thank you and Stay Safe.

Grout needs to be sealed. Otherwise it will change colors due to dirt, grime, mopping etc. And it may be possible to get your grout clean. Some of the strong chemicals that will actually clean your grout - will also etch the finish right off your tile so I don't recommend experimenting. It's possible that the grout needs to be refreshed or replaced, and then resealed. I am not 100% sure without seeing it. And if the tile is discoloring - that is a concern. Were chemicals used on it?

The worst of it is in traffic patterns.

That’s the bad thing about mopping, though….the dirty water or the dirty mop head. No matter what you’re still mopping with dirt. With the Swiffer Wet Mop towels or the Wet Jet, you’re still using a once clean mop and then mopping the rest of the floor with a dirty cleaning towel. That’s what’s so strange about mopping. Unless you change out the wet cleaning pads every few feet, that’s the only way to get a clean floor, but then, is that cost effective. That’s my problem with mopping. I like mopping, actually, one of the few things I like housework-wise, but i would mop, take the mop to the sink or tub and rinse the mop and then go back to mopping and that took HOURS in my old house. Now, I’m living in a small rental house and mopping with a Swiffer wet pad takes all of two minutes in the kitchen. I don’t have to deal with the living room mopping since there’s carpet.
