How do you clean your floors?

[gibbinator]

We have a broom and laminate floors

It doesn't really do a stellar job. Certainly it leaves behind a lot of delicious morsels that DS will want to eat when he's mobile. Tell me about your baby-proofing routine and cleaning products.

my absolute favorite (relative term) way to clean my floors is either sweeping or swiftering and then using this mop with a mixture of water/vinegar/dawn (in a spray bottle and I just spray as I go). Super easy.

Vacuum first, steam mop & occassional Bona them. I have wood floors in 85% of the house, tile in 10% & laminate in about 15%.

Bona.

I had a steam mop and hated it. I felt like it never got anything clean, the cord was a PITA and it broke after a little over a year.

I love method almond floor cleaner. I vacuum, then use method with a microfiber mop. Method products are kid/pet safe

Hardwood floors. Dyskn first and then mop, usually just with hot water. I used an old school mop eith sponge head. Buy a nice one, nothing else compares.

I sweep, swiffer dry and steam mop. I'm starting to hate the steam mop though. May get a bona this year.

What does this smell like? Im debating between trying your method or ijacks.

it's a really pleasant smell, like almond extract I guess. The smell lingers for about a day then it's gone

Yum. I was hoping you'd say that. Ok, you twisted my arm. Off to Target for that and ijacks mop. Sure beats a hot soapy washcloth.

We don't have a working printer

I wonder if they'll ever heed my suggestion on their FB wall to make those coupons available on the app or mobile site.

Update: Vacuuming and then using the Method cleaner with the microfiber mop is pretty awesome.

boo! yeah i would love if all were mobile

I'll have to try out the Method floor cleaner. We tried the vinegar/water a few times and the dog was allergic! We're using non-kid/pet friendly stuff now. Thanks!
