As I've learned, mopping is one of the most confusing cleaning jobs out there-who knew!. Well friends, let me use my vast knowledge of cleaning to make mopping as simple as tying a shoelace! In this video, I go through all the different types of mops, as well as show you how to mop a floor fast, which each of these mops.

We'd love to hear from you - say hello down below!
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨ you and you motivate me to clean. one day I was home alone and my mum was out and my dad was at work, I watched about 5-8 of your videos and I cleaned EVERYTHING. When my mum got home she noticed and asked me "Are you ok?" Because I never clean. THXXXX
That’s soooo sweet...I wish my sons will also give such happy surprise to me too
“Are you ok??” 🤣🤣🤣
I totally agree with you. Melissa had such an effect on me. I am in love with cleaning now😀😀💖💖
Same here. I like cleaning, but in the span of a week I bought microfibre cloths and I'm figuring out how to clean everything in my home.
Recently I just got into cleaning routine (yes, I'm gross and disgusting and lazy like that) and your videos are my go-to cleaning videos (plus, the videos are super inspiring!) I've been using deck mop for my house and I can tell you how frustrating it is! Not only hairs and dust sticking in the cotton fibers, it looks yucky too (one of many reasons why I hate mopping) After watching this, I want to try out microfiber mop. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us!
Have thou ever used a steam mop? Best purchase ever for my cleaning routine
Yes. Thoroughly enjoy using them.
I love my steam mop!
I just recently had an awful experience where my toilet overflowed and my husband and I had two very different ways to clean up the mess.Could you please do a video on this to help my OCD nerves relax😁
"Dollars to donuts" is a betting term indicating short odds. Dollars are valuable, donuts aren't.
maybe we should flip the meaning, these days...
Thanks!
Love my spin mop! It has been a life saver for my back. Love your videos...great job!
You left out steam mops! I use them in my business. I find steaming beats chemicals. You should review some steam mops, specifically Shark vs Haan. I'm more of a Shark guy.
I use an o-ceder steam mop
Nickolas Andrew she did a video once on steamers!
I love my Bissel steamer
Uff... I had one, but I sold it, because it’s so slow to use... And I don’t have very dirty floors or floors that need to be antibacterial clean
Nickolas Andrew i own a business but isn’t carrying a steam mop heavy
I recently started watching your channel. A couple of months ago I picked up the O Cedar spin mop. The first time I used it I had to throw it into the washing machine. Since I find that it cleans very well and isn't grungy after each use. But I still throw into the washer when done. The spinner on the bucket really dries the mop out well. It is the best mop I've ever used.
John Vanderhoof Love Love this mop! My favorite too!
I was using a deck mop for my house, but after I watched one of your older videos about how to properly mop your floors, I went out and bought a microfiber mop. Man, you can definatley see a difference!
What's the difference? Less water marks?
My mom doesn't mop. She washes the floor on her hands and knees with rags. She thinks that mops just spread dirt around.
I agree with her but, I don't get on my hands and knees, I use a mop with a flat bottom, the sturdy kind, and about 3 or 4 cotton towels, depending how dirty the floor is. I find the plastic wash cloths / micro fiber don't absorb and just smear dirt all over. Cotton absorbs the dirt and grime without leaving streaks.
After I'm done I throw all the cotton towels ( had towel or dish towel ) in the washing machine with the dog bed and some cotton rugs, if they need to be washed. Easy peasy, and clean ☕💃
PS my dog bed is a small blanket or a dark colored towel so its easy to just throw in the wash.
To Sheldon Pon: In all due respects, she is spreading herself around
needlessly, as well as when it comes to the ringing out of the dirt, spells reality.
It is true. I found a way around it. No need. Just make sure when the mop water begins to change color dump it, rinse the mop, and keep going. Sweep big debris then vacuum the floor prior to mopping. Vacuuming after sweeping will show you that a lot is on the floor after a sweep. Make sure your mop water doesn't turn black. As soon as the mop water turns colors dump it. I tend to dump multiple times when mopping. Cleaner mop water leads to better results. Sometimes you need to mop twice if it is really dirty. After the mop water dries vacuum the floor again (you can vacuum the next day if you get tired). I vacuum a lot. Get good claning stuff. Buy namebrand mops like o-cedar microfiber and see if it helps.
It's her choice! Also a very good exercise!
Sheldon Pon My mother was nine months pregnant with me on her hands and knees mopping the kitchen floor when she went into labor. She didn’t go to hospital until she finished. Lol

#cleanmyspace #mopping #mop
:) I Love You!
yay I'm so happy this is up :)!!! Thank you so much!!
I mopped 2 days ago using the swifter with the wet lavender refills. Great idea using the microfiber cloth!
Since I started watching your videos cleaning has been more enjoyable and it feels like I clean less when I follow your tips and tricks!
Thank you! 😃
Mopped a couple of weeks ago. We use a Wonder Mop. Works great. I need one of those ringer buckets! Who makes that one?
dobbypire Glad to hear! Enjoy :)
We use the blue micro fibre mop .. Also have that wet jet thing but the trigger is stuck now, it also didn't pick up any lint.. Just left big wet lint lumps everywhere..! x XD
Oh no!
@@cleanmyspace You told them to sweep or vacuum before mopping LOL
You can't help it if they don't listen
Melissa please can you do a video on how to clean a house to a time limit I know you have a house cleaning business so say you have 3 hrs to clean a large house what do you clean and what would not clean ? Just looking on tips to fast effective cleaning ! Love your how to clean your room video but could you elaborate on being time effective!thanks
yaaaas! please, that would be awesome!
Yes you should
puuuuuuush this up to the toooop!
Stay tuned :) it's a project I've been working on for you guys! Suzanne Rose Ann marie White Angleahscottoncandy
***** brilliant can't wait ! :)
I mopped this weekend but with my Swiffer sweeper with microfiber mop pads and a small round bucket with no squeeze. I finally went for the ocedar microfiber mop with the quick wring bucket and I'm embarrassedly excited for my next mopping
That’s what I am going to end up with👍
I'm confuse how to mop. Some say after mopping with cleaning agent , you have to mop again with clean water. Some say no, you just mop once and it's done . So which one is the correct one?
tareginda I clean with the cleaning liquid only when I have oil stains (like kitchen floor), then with clean water only. The rest of the floor I clean with water only once ))
THANK GOD YOU EXIST!!
I just mopped like 15 minutes ago! Lol.... I use a microfiber mop, specifically, a cedar brand.... I used to use a deck mop for my house and wondered why my floors never looked clean.... I switched mops about a year ago and I'm extremely happy with it! I've also been moping with dish soap for about 4 years because my son has allergies to certain things. I love your videos and any time I need to clean something the right way, I view one of your videos. You have helped me stay on top of the mess in my house and taught me how to cut my cleaning time in half. Thank you!
Would you do a 2020 version of this please? I’m new to house cleaning and the family has a rough, natural stone tile tearing up my mop and
hardwood in other parts
Thank you
Great video...I was soooo surprised to hear my comment on your video!!!!! Thanks so much for your help and support!
Lol! I had to scroll thru the comments to make sure you acknowledged seeing this with a comment. It was crazy enough to hear a name I recognized! I can't imagine how crazy it felt to recognize it as my own! 😂
P.S. You're welcome on the blast from the past. Lol!
Very nice!
I just mopped this morning, and I think google is listening in on me because this was in my recommended list.
I use a microfiber mop by Libman, it comes with that built in wringer. I love it.
You have the absolute best youtube channel ever! Well in my opinion anyways. I love tips and tricks when it comes to cleaning.
Lynnette Brezina thanks! We think so too ;)
Today I got down on my knees and scrubbed my kitchen floors to take put all the dirt and grime! I have tiles in my kitchen and it was dirty for so many years even though my grandma mops like every week! So I did her the favor and scrubbed up the dirt. And mopped the floor after thoroughly cleaning the mop from its residue! Did it out of love! Xo
Ndaraja Dejesus add 1/2 vinegar to the mop water...it eats residue.
My mom cleaned houses for 36 years and says that sometimes you just need to do exactly this. Strips all the built up dirt that regular mopping doesn't get.
I call it a shaggy dog hair mop. Lol. I also use the wet towel that I walk around on to clean the floors method. Lol! I think I'll go invest in a mop or 2 now...
Hi Melissa! How often do you mop your floor? Once a week? More or less? I love your videos, I got a lot more motivated since I discovered this channel a year ago!
Oh Melissa, I loved your acting at the "back hurting" scene, haha! I use the good oldie string mop, loved it from the beginning!
Thanks! Yes, I went to absolutely zero acting classes to nail that scene...#talent
How to remove black scuff marks from white square laminate flooring?
I love mopping. As you say, it's therapeutic. I have a deck mop, and I'm considering the microfiber as an upgrade!
It would be great if you could tell us where to purchase these items. Since this video is over a year old and O Cedar is now pushing another kind of mop it's difficult to find the Red bucket and twist mop to go with it - thought I have found mop heads not sticks.
I don't like to mops because they don't clean the floor s really well. if you ring out extra water it still leaves steaks. I just get on my hands and knees wash the floor with an old rag. I use vinegar and water.
Meredith Blodgett I have bad knees & only get on hands & knees for bathroom & toilet. I use the spray mop she demonstrated for my wood & tiled floors. I was using a small/tiny squirt of fllor cleaner, but will be using her suggestion in future. Vinegar is going to replace many chemicals once I have used them up. Must check for wooden floors first though.
I am resting between mopping right now LOL, I use a swifer wet jet once a week but, Must admit, once every 2 months I spend a whole morning on my hands and knees and do it by hand with a general cleaner and paper towel
A lot of people believe that's the best way to clean a floor. I think it would be too, but I don't think it's practical!
***** LOL, No not practical, which is why I only do it every other month LOL
You didn't mention a steam mop. That is my favorite for our hard wood floors.
If you get a GOOD one they can work extremely well. A lot aren't good and cause more damage than good.
Hello Amy, can you tell me which steam mop you use? We want to get one for our laminate flooring, but I'm worried that it's not a good quality, it will ruin the floors...
@@sparklyrainbowbunny noooo steam mop on laminate! Laminate is a foto on chipwood! If you steam it water will soak into the chipwood and the edges will swell! Better take a alcohol base cleaner and use as less water as possible (I spray the solution onto my mop myself)!
@The Unknown vacuum the floor first, then mop it. If it is persist dirt than appley little solution direct on the spot and let time work for you, but not on the edges! After 2 or 3 minutes wipe it off with the mop. The mop should never be wet, so you don't ever have streaks. You can ask for melamine sponges to get rid off the most difficult adhesions.
I mop every day with O Cedar easy wring spinmop
omg! now I know why my back hurts when I mop! 😱
Hi I would like to know if I should damp the mop pad before cleaning.
I agree w/ Jon Boll, most bros just aren't taught these things growing up. Anyway after much studying up on mops, I decided to go "straight to 11" and bought the Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro mop. However before mopping, I use the Hoover Elite Rewind Plus vacuum. No buckets, no sweeping, no stress, all machines, saves space, works for me. Your videos are gold btw!
I love my mop! I have only had it for a few months, Its the O-Cedar Easy Wring Spin Mop and Bucket System. It is a machine washable mop head too. I don't like moping but do really love this mop. The swiffers were always a waste of money for us... they're a joke for those with kids. If I had to do only one: Mop or Vacuum... I'd have to say Id prefer to vacuum. Its faster and easier, especially now with our Dyson 59 Motorhead. SO much easier without a cord! But both mopping and vacuuming are like my least favorite tasks! Well.... scrubbing the tub and shower too....
I agree with your favorites. My microfiber mop has a built in wringer that works well and allows me to use an all purpose bucket.
I wanted you to know that I frequently use your videos at school. I teach classes in life skills for students with intellectual disabilities which includes learning good cleaning practices. Your detailed and direct, yet entertaining approach is a terrific instructional tool.
Thank you!
I'm a nurse and do shift work, the last thing I want to do is clean on my day off but I do love a clean house. Is there a roster for cleaning a little each day or something so on my day off I don't have too. Clean my space ..... how do I make the most impact in the lest amount of time and know its truly clean ..... not just looks clean?
I took your advice and getting a micro fibre mop and I fell in love with it. It works so much then the old deck mop which I been using for many years. Thank you so much... I would never know until I watch this video. You rock
Donny Ang
Hi I have a house cleaning service for the last 30 years. And I've been using these kinds of mops the stringy mops that are like little sponges for many many years. I have about 12 of them and I wash them after every use in every house. I usually have to buy new ones once a year. I do tile floors and a lot of stone floors. Does stringy spongy mops are the best. You cannot wash a deck mop in the washing machine. They are the worst mops ever. Thank you.
I didn't know I needed this video...but I'm glad it exists! ^_^ Thank you! ...Question: Do you (or anyone reading the comments here) have any advice on keeping tile floors clean with dogs who constantly drag dirt and mud in? We basically have to mop up the same floor every day at this point so any prevention strategies would be awesome. (One of the dogs tends to have accidents frequently as well...it's a good thing we don't have carpet!)
What no steam mop? come on, you talking about advances in mops throughout history and you didn't end the video without even mentioning the steam mop. You're better then this.
The cleaning Gods must surely be crying tears of vinegar.
Or maybe, just maybe....we're going to make a whole video just about steam mops ;) (but shhhhhhh you gotta keep it quiet)
well, ok. not one word will be said.
However i can't promise anything about what I might type.
***** Did you do the Steam mop one? I have a hoover dual tank, but I'm not convinced :(
leoric21 It would make the video too long! This isn't a steam mop video. Read the title it's about mops not steam mops!
Thanks for the videos! I am a teacher in a Practical Applications Lab. (PAES) and one section is on cleaning in the home or on a Houskeeping job. Your videos have helped me create interesting lesson plans for my wonderful students! Thanks.
wow. fascinating. I need to get a life. or at least a mop.
Got a mop yet?
Very annoying background music. How can anybody pay attention to what she saying!
What about steam cleaning the floor?
Awesome video! Just hard to focus with that repetitive music. Felt a bit like an alarm clock going off in the background.
My favourite never fail mop is one called a spin mop ..
The head is round, has microfibre 'hair' and you squeeze it using the foot pedal and it literally spins the water out ... when our first one died we bought a different type and totally regretted it. I will never turn back now :)
By the way, great videos!! I've actually been enjoying cleaning my house lately ... I'm doing it in the right headspace and its waaaay more fun :)
Spin mops are the best
Why don’t you have a Roomba? I have a little team. They’re like pets :-) Thanks for showing me the O’Cedar spin mop! It’s a godsend! Love the spray mop with washable microfiber pad, too!!
I had both the Roomba and the Scooba (I think it was called that -- anyway the one that scrubbed) I found they were more trouble than they were worth because they always had to be emptied. I had the ones that went back to their "homes" and recharged automatically. Also the batteries were difficult to find, usually had to be ordered (for which there was down time), and were quite expensive. No one in my area performs maintenance or repairs them; so any warranty or maintenance, back to the factory they go (more down time). And then they don't really do that great of a job when they are working and running. Unless someone is handicapped, I wouldn't give either one of them a recommendation!
What about when the floor is too dirty to use “just a little water?”
Thanks for your video. I feel that people should use what they want, so I'm not trying to push my preference on others, just trying to share why I made my choice. I used regular brooms and mops most of my life, but they aren't too good at cleaning. Some years ago, when Swiffer came out with their first model, a dry sweeper, I needed a new broom. I had seen the commercials on TV, and then checked one out in the store. It was extremely lightweight, which is important for disabled people, and I liked how well it had seemed to work in the commercials, so I bought it. I later bought a Swiffer duster too. The head on my first Swiffer broom eventually broke. I kept the stick to help me walk to and from my mailbox, and to keep my bathroom door propped open when I had a fan on in the hall. I kept missing my Swiffer broom because it was so easy to use, but didn't get around to buying a new one until a while after I moved to a handicapped accessible apartment. I finally bought a new one, but upgraded to a wet & dry version. I had also bought a wheeled office chair to use in the kitchen. I scoot around the kitchen in that chair as I do my chores. Because Swiffers are so light and easy to use I even sweep the kitchen floor while sitting down in my wheeled office chair. Most of the mess gets thrown out with the pad, and I just use a damp paper towel to pick up and throw away the little bit that's left. I also like the wet pads for mopping the floors, but one should sweep or vacuum the floor before mopping it.
For really dirty outside use, I do still recommend using the old fashioned mops and brooms, but for inside, my Swiffer is a big help.
I get around with a rolling walker, or 2 canes, or scoot around the kitchen on an office chair now, so I really appreciate a lightweight cleaning tool that actually works. If others like a different product that's cool, but my Swiffer works well for me.
Sponge mop square pants? XD
Melissa I live your videos, they inspire and motivate me, which isn’t easy at age 83....I have the microfiber mop and a bucket like yours which makes it easy to run over my kitchen and bathroom floors.
Love
How did you know I threw my back out from mopping last Wednesday?! 😂😂😂
Melissa, this is not about mops. I watched the one about benefits of baking soda where you said you use it in your shampooing. I've done this and love it. My question is, does it affect colored hair? As in deplete the color? Thank you
Very interesting! I washed yesterday my hard wood floors with the vileda mop. By the way, do you have a video on how to wax hard wood floors? mine were shiny but now are opaque. Love from Italy!
Would you please make a review on steam mops, please???
Do you use your signature dish-washing liquid in a solution to mop walls? Keep up the FANTASTIC work :)
Yes I sure do! You can use that or vinegar! Thanks :)
I have a love/hate relationship with the tile in our house. It's light-colored but it's also textured so it hides the dirt it traps in the little grooves on the face of the tile. Basically, I end up sweeping and mopping every other day! I use a Cedar double-sided mop (link: m.samsclub.com/ip/o-cedar-professional-dual-action-microfiber-flip-mop-with-extra-refill/prod1113583) and a very diluted floor cleaning solution in a spray bottle. It saves me from having to pull out a mop bucket every other day! Also, I have another spray bottle I use for just plain water to "rinse" the cleaning solution off of the tile afterwards. I find the rinse at the end really makes a difference in how my tile looks!!
Sounds great Melissa Hutton !
I hate mopping now, I used to work at a convenience store and I worked the closing shift, so I had to mop that whole 2000 sq. foot store every single night for over a year.
I did the same in a catering kitchen. Those commercial string mops are heavy too. But it makes me mind mopping at home less because my apartment only has linoleum in a small kitchen and small bathroom. That helps!
The background music is too loud and distracting!
Lmao did the background music remind anyone else of miranda?
whos miranda?
Good
how often do u change out ur mop.....the classic mop and the microfiber mop
I mop 2x a week, mi libman wondermop (microfiber) goes in the wash after the 2nd mopping. House is all tile, so I mop baths and bed rooms on Sat morning, Living Room, Kitchen/Dining on Wed after dinner. Might not be enough frequency.
I'm not sure if you fully realize how hilarious you are! You give good solid info and you had me cracking up too! LOL.
Also, how about a tut on an easy way to clean baseboards?!
Thanks
Yes! I would like to know that too Melissa.
Stay tuned ;) ***** and BigMoe
***** Thank you so much, Melissa, I can't wait to see it. I have the feeling your vid is going to be a game changer!
BASEBOARD BUDDY WORKS GREAT!!!
I use the flathead mop...love it because I can still mop with 3 toddlers running around i don't have to worry about a bucket of hot soapy water.
Good planning!
I personally hate the swiffer wet jet. I would honestly rather be on my knees with a sponge than use that flimsy thing! Plus it sprays soap all over the base boards instead of on the floor. Sigh!
you must be a female if you were a male you would be a little more practiced on the aiming part
@@joescheller6680 Not according to all the men's bathrooms I've cleaned.
So when your my age you have to have a master plan when you get down on your knees. Like how the h...l do i get back up again .
@@HallowqueenCrafting so mrs Charlton from what my wife tells me she wont even sit down in some of the ladys rooms she has been in,
we use a soft broom to sweep sweep all floors 9 large rooms, first, then we wet mop with poete by clorax, I have marble floors and also have tile. my floors are nice afterwards. and smells good too. old fashioned way. I live in Mexico we sweep and mop everything everyday, even the sidewalks and street in front of our house. love your ideas. my favorite way to clean floors is the German way, when there the mop and sweep was done with a swifter like thing and floors were always nice.
Ok, I have a question. How do you clean the mop head? I kinda feel like throwing it out when I'm done. And putting it in the washing machine doesn't sound too nice either. Also cool nails.
I'd like an answer to that too. Normally, I leave it for a day in soapy water then just fling it in the washing machine with other stuff like a walk-in rug or shoes. Seems to do the job.
b00rk I am going to touch on that in next week's video. However you can also watch our video called how to clean your cleaning tools!
Hi Melissa, can you please share your thoughts on iRobot braava jet mop , thank you
Hi Melissa!
I'm about to mop the floor tomorrow! (Sunday). This is a great video. I have the swifter, the string mop and I also have the microfiber mop. I also love your mop bucket!!! :)
Sunday funday!
I'm working on getting some cleaning stuff in order and more structured in my family, as well as going a little more green. I am curious about getting a spin mop w/ bucket. Still microfiber, but different than the style you have in this video. Ever use one? I'm looking at the Mopnado (deluxe version) as the company seems to have some of the best customer service.
Can you do a "how to clean your walls" tutorial? If you haven't already?
I'll add that to our list!
Also how can we clean a cave in a old house with a lot of dust and floor in concrete
Hi , I use a swifter , love the video.!
I use a deck mop, but now I think I need a microfiber mop :)
I think you'll notice a difference!
Kate's Place
I mop every other day. I use the Valeda mop! Every time I mop I launder the mop head.
That's what I do!
I mopped about 45 mins ago, something I do weekly. Just about any regular mop I've used as left ugly water stains on my floors so after some searching, I made a cover for my flathead broom using a microfiber towel and use that along with a floor cleaning mix recipe in a spray bottle (equal mix of water, vinegar and rubbing alcohol with 1 tbs of dishshoap). I spray the mix on the floor then I wipe off with the microfiber mop, one small section at a time. Much like exercise, I prefer to get that done early in the day so that I have to deal with it later because of all my chores, floor cleaning is what takes most of my time.
That's a great hack, way to go!
***** Hi Melissa When you were Cleaning the outside Deck I noticed that you were wearing your Gumboots The Same ones in your How to Clean your Hunter Wellies Video. But why were you wearing them But then again I Guess you didn't want to get your feet wet So that was Smart Thinking Melissa
Love your videos. Just moved into a new built home and I have laminate floors. These are great tips! I cleaned my glass shower today with your vinegar and soap and I was very impressed! I’m definitely going to do your DIY cleaners. Passing this on to my daughter 😊
I mopped two days ago with a sponge mop, but thanks to your advice, I'm going to purchase a microfiber sponge for my tile and wood floors. Thank you so much for your vids, Melissa. You've made cleaning so much easier for me.👍
First off, I love, love, love your videos!! I have a major hate for anytime of cleaning. (My mother calls it sloth and laziness.) I was blessed with real hard wood floor. But they are very old. I can't afford to to upgrade them right now and we heat by wood stove, which I love but dries out my floors. How can I keep my floors clean without harming them? Also, how would I remove crayon and marker drawings that the little ones have made on the wood floors?
Does anyone know if she's reviewed a steam mop?
on tile,I've found better for my daily in/out,take shoes off at door....white ceramic tile shows any yuc.....not a bad idea to dry mop behind wet mopping, esp with deck mops....excess water can send you flying.....
thank you for your videos!
Loved this video, I love my shark steam mop for my laminate floors, I wanted to try the microfiber mop with the bucket with some dish soap and warm water :)
OMG THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IS THE "WHERE MY BAES AT" MUSIC FROM MIRANDA SINGS
Joy Du the music is too loud. It’s hard to hear her
What do you think about steam mops (not for hardwood floors, of course). I've been using the Swiffer Steam Jet.
Yes, I am a guy, but I too like a clean house. My question. Is it a good idea to run the mop over your floor after the initial cleaning with a "rinse" mop with plain water?
If you use the soap mixture Melissa recommends (which actually has very little soap in it) there is no need to rinse. If you use a specialty soap, read the label.
Does anyone have tips on how to do the 'S method' with a sponge mop? Since the head doesnt pivot (and mine is on an angle) so it seems impossible to move it back and forth in that way. Thanks in advance!
Pretty tricky with a standard mop. Our mop head pivots, but many do not. The fact that you are mopping is a positive sign! The opposite (ie. not cleaning) isn't a great option! Keep it up!
wait is this mirandas sings bae music?
😂😂😂😂👌😭
YEAH cool i just noticed that
hahah I love that song :D
Apparently so!
***** haha :D i love it!
I actually mopped today, funny you ask! I use a sponge mop and HATE it! I actually hate mopping with a passion. I can't get over dipping mops back into dirty water as you mop, so I end up going over the floors once with soapy water. Dumping it, then rinsing and squeezing it out in the tub over and over until mop wrings out clear.
I use the Hurricane Spin mop. It rings out really easy and has the microfiber heads. When you use Dawn in the bucket with warm water does the color/scent of it matter? Great tips!
I have yet to try that one yet. But I hear people like it :). I usually use the blue Dawn, but I have used any colour/scent I have on hand. It doesn't matter!
I like a steam mop Shark Steam Mop
Im using a mopnado and like it very much for engineered laminate. I use a combo of alcohol, vinegar and mrs. meyers dish soap. Really does the job.
I mop every other day... kitchen and bathroom one day, living and dining room the next time, bed rooms and hallway after that...a day break between. I'm on a rollator and brace... So can't do much at one time and no help so that works for me. Even with the spin mop which makes it much easier....I have to do it in sections.
My mom taught me to always mop twice: first with slightly more liquid on the mop, then go back with a practically dry mop (as dry as possible). I've been doing it this way since forever, but watching your video made me think whether it's really necessary.
What's your opinion of steam mops? I have one for our kitchen, and I love the convenience, and the peace of mind that I'm using fewer chemicals and (hopefully) sanitizing the floors to some degree.

Hello Melissa: How to sterilize a mop? It's essential this bw done. You're anti-bleach. How to do it without bleach?
hi robbiebluck ,watch next week's video ;) great question!
1. There is a difference between "sterilizing" and "disinfecting". Sterilizing is killing ALL microorganisms on the surface and IMPOSSIBLE without special machine. As an example, surgical instruments are not disinfected, they are sterilized; floors in a hospital are disinfected. Disinfection can be done by using chemicals like bleach, using UV light or simple boiling.
Hi Melissa! I hate vacuuming too. I bought a Eufy robot vacuum (I run it twice a day because I have 2 dogs). It is AMAZING...you should get one. Anyway, I used to use a microfiber mop but got tired of how inefficient it seemed. Now I use a newer version of the deck mop...called the Libman Tornado mop (needs no bucket to wring!). It's very very absorbent and I don't have to constantly re-dip. Hope this is useful! Have a great day and thanks for the video :)
Sometimes you just have to take what life gives you. 'Cause life is like a mop, and sometimes life gets full of dirt and crud and bugs and hairballs and stuff... you, you, you gotta clean it out. You, you, you gotta put it in here, and rinse it off and start all over again. And, and sometimes, sometimes life sticks to the floor so bad, you know a mop, a mop, it's not good enough, it's not good enough. You, you gotta get down there, like, with a toothbrush, you know, and you gotta, you gotta really scrub 'cause you got to get it off. You gotta really try to get it off. But if that doesn't work, that doesn't work, you can't give up. You gotta, you gotta stand right up. You, you gotta run to a window and say, *"Hey! These floors are dirty as hell, and I'm not gonna take it any more!"*

That was great!
He acted through his words. That was amazing.
WTH??
It’s funny I have about every mop you have on the table. All along I thought I was using the wrong mob and was staring to get a little frustrated. But now since I watched your video it gives me a since of direction. Thanks!!!
Mopped yesterday! And I use a swiffer
I think I've use every mop known to man. I purchased a spin mop from HSN about a year ago and it's the best mop I've every owned. It has taken the place of my dust mop and feather duster for high places.
