How often do you mop?

[Betsy]

I really hate mopping, but now that my daughter is getting more mobile I feel like I should probably start mopping more often than I do. I wouldn't mind vacuuming everyday, but mopping...ugh. Do you think that once a week is enough or do I have to start doing this every other day?

It depends on what is on your floor. I vacuum daily (pets in the house) and I mop every weekend. I also have a swiffer wetjet so I can do touch-ups throughout the week. Do you have 1 of these? They are awesome.

I used to have one of those so I know it's pretty handy for in between mopping. I was thinking about getting one of those steam mops with the pads that you just throw in the washer. Does anybody have one of these?

It seems not nearly enough as each time I look around I have to do it again. Between the kitchen (which is the unloading zone for all groceries with a small porch so when it rains its evil) and the living room (main area and also the place where most people forget to take their shoes off) - I have my fair share of floor cleaning.

I don't have floors to mop-- everything is wood except for the kitchen which is tile. The wood does get vacuumed pretty regularly though and I wax it about once a month.

My child is not that young anymore so I mop once a week but I sweep whenever it becomes necessary. Sometime he sweep when he makes a mess as well.

I try to sweep everyday to keep the pet hair under control. I also hate to mop and use a swifter mop for quick touch ups. I do a complete cleaining about 1x per week. I use vinegar on the tile but often try new solutions to clean quickly and not leave residue.
