Sigh. I haven't properly washed the floors since just before moving kitty here mid-Jan. My current floor cleaning method (Lysol multisurface + warm water in a spray mop) isn't cat safe (prev home was carpeted). But I can't afford to buy special cleaners.

So I'm leaning towards saving up for a budget steam mop. We have some kind of engineered fake-hardwood-looking flooring, and apparently you can use that on it with just water and a low steam setting?

Anyone have tips or advice?

After doing some more research & comparisons, I think the Bissell 19401 steam mop might be my best option for washing the floors. Budget friendly, pretty good reviews. It's basically a 1940 so it shares all the same features but lower price. Reviewers even gave instructions on how to avoid the pads getting smelly, etc.

Hopefully it's still on sale next month lol. We get a little extra via GST rebate in April.

In the meantime I'll try the vinegar method.
