A poll, about cleaning! 🧹

How often do you mop your floors? Incredibly vague increments selected here, please roughly pick!

I grew up with parquet so there was a lot of vacuuming but only a little bit of mopping and never with much water, and I feel like that has influenced me much. 🤔

Once a week or so
11.5%
Every couple of weeks or so

Every month or two
17.2%
One big clean when necessary
55.2%
My floors cannot be mopped

@sinituulia Never. I sweep them and when I feel like water should be added I take a bucket and rag and scrub them.

@kilroy_was_here That's just mopping with a different tool, though?

@sinituulia For some reason I feel that mopping pushes the dirt around. Scrubbing it gets it out all the way. IDK how true it is but it's just how I feel about it and I must refuse to go on another research binge or I'll be up for 48 hours lol

@kilroy_was_here Probably depends on the amount of dirt, the mop used, and whether you're rinsing the mop in between dirty spots? And the floor type.

I use different fluffy flat mops (just bought at different times, not different tech) slightly moistened with vinegar water and if I do it twice, the first time the mop will be pretty disgusting and the second time almost indistinguishable from clean (there's always more cat hair no matter what) 🤔

@kilroy_was_here My definition of Good Enough is also that I can no longer see the ubiquitous little paw prints when sun reflects on the parquet tiles, they're like fingerprints but more persistent and if they come off, certainly the floor is much cleaner than it was!
