We also have our son who is this month, 14 months. Between him, my husband, and me cooking, we have a problem. The floor is always disgusting and you can feel it when you walk on it. In fact my feet are often black after walking in there. I know, it's bad.
I've tried many types of mops, some of them being the swiffer, swiffer wet jet and a sponge mop. There was still gunk impossible to remove even after I finished. I had to get on my hands and knees with all kinds of kitchen cleaners and a paper towel scrubbing away. It was taking too much time in my day.
I had come up with some combo that required a broom and two mops, but now Scott read online about something that works just as well.
New version
- Sweep the floor
- Mix a few tbsp of rubbing alcohol and vinegar with about a 1/2 gallon of water in a bucket. I now use microfiber towels (suggested by Mollie), on a swiffer or sponge mop. Sometimes I still have to get on my hands and knees with some good cleaning spray. And then for kicks sometimes I finish off with the swiffer. I'm so not secure with cleaning the floor (sigh).
- I begin by squirting the floor with a fantastic kitchen cleaner...Lysol Kitchen...recommended to me by my wonderful friend Brenda. It's the most amazing kitchen cleaner I've found yet.
- I let it soak and then swiffer wet jet the floor, using the squirt on the wet jet as well.
- Next, I use a mop I got from Bed Bath and Beyond. It is a rectangle with a sponge on one side and a mop material on the other. It sticks to the mop and comes off. I can toss it in the washing machine with my towels after finishing. I was the floor by dipping that in a bucket/sink of dish soap or mop soap.
Back to my research for the day!
