#housework #question Do you use a mop or get on your hands & knees? I've realised mop is crap & hurts my back so have scrubbed with sponge.

I bought a steam mop and it is actually amazing! Cleans and sterilises, no scrubbing required.

@trouble2plus2 UK

next time, please ask questions about poo or something. My 'brand' is suffering enough. And it's a mop for me. :/

2:06PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

Oooh, like a power tool nearly!

2:06PM Mon, April 09 2012

indeed! Money well spent!

2:07PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

Sorry about that... How do I get the dog poo of the back door ledge & how the bloody hell did she manage it?!

2:07PM Mon, April 09 2012

Daily - floor wipe; weekly - mop and boiling water; monthly - quick hand and knees scrub. It looks like a lot but isn't. X

d'oh! No idea. Use tissue to scrape it off, like I had to earlier with the 4yo? #backinthezone

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

You do far more than me, but my floor is usually shamefully filthy.

2:13PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

nice. Dogs and kids...

2:13PM Mon, April 09 2012

@trouble2plus2 UK

hey, at least we're now experts in poo management.

2:14PM Mon, April 09 2012

always a mop here, much quicker and easier

2:15PM Mon, April 09 2012

@mrs_suit England

my kitchen and dining room are stone tiles so mop and use sponge on tough areas, would take hours if I sponged whole thing :)

2:15PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

I feel so proud. I still remember my now teen son backing out of loo bare bummed saying "is it clean?"

2:16PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

He was about 2 at the time & meeting my boyriendf for the first time.

2:16PM Mon, April 09 2012

So was mine and I was spending too long on it every week because the dirt was ground in. This way I spend much less time!

2:17PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

Ours is huge, but light coloured laminate, crap and impractical!

2:22PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

I think mine will be easier in new place, is not such a huge area and not light coloured.

2:23PM Mon, April 09 2012

@Nadgerly Oop North

mop! Too lazy to do the whole scrubby thing.

2:33PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

It seems mops work if you don't have 3 kids & a dog & use it more than once a month (or two...)

2:34PM Mon, April 09 2012

Tell me about it. We have cream stair carpet and it is DIS- CUST-ING. People with children need dark coloured flooring! X

2:38PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

they really do. I think there is cream carpet on stairs of new house.

2:40PM Mon, April 09 2012

@mommatwotweets dorset

@chaznmax our carpets are all cream - rental houses always are. Stupid.

2:43PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

@chaznmax They really are. The house I'm renting next is even owned by people with children!

2:43PM Mon, April 09 2012

@mommatwotweets dorset

@chaznmax they all think it makes it look bright and spacious. I think it looks like I'm losing another deposit!

2:44PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Haha! I just close the stair gate and hope no-one notices! We've tried everything. Hopefully replacing soon!

2:47PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Thank god for laminate flooring. And baby wipes. Without either of those my house would be a hovel!

2:48PM Mon, April 09 2012

@publicoptima United Kingdom

@motherscuffer we have new light carpets - but chose a speckled oatmeal/Gray in hope... Foolish hope! Not to bad yet though

2:50PM Mon, April 09 2012

@motherscuffer When I win the lottery and move to a huge mansion the children's wing will be painted muddy brown. Top to bottom.

2:52PM Mon, April 09 2012

@mommatwotweets dorset

@motherscuffer I am addicted to bleach wet wipes - they fix all problems!

2:54PM Mon, April 09 2012

@motherscuffer I use the disinfectant ones on the kitchen floor. Best thing I've ever bought!

2:56PM Mon, April 09 2012

@MotherScuffer Yorkshire

@chaznmax wipes are good, I use them for cleaning the loo
