Cleaning My Own Kitchen Floor
« on: April 16, 2006, 11:25:40 am »
Can anyone help out here with my own kitchen floor problem thanks.
It`s not a problem really,the end cleaning result is fine.It`s the cloths
And materials I`m using.It`s a ceramic tile floor.I `ve been using a deck
Brush and then drying off with scrim cloth(I`m a window cleaner) I use
A combination of household bleach and hard surface cleaner.I think its
The bleach content that plays havoc with the scrim cloth.Even after thourough
Rinsing the scrim is dropping to bits after 4 or 5 cleans.Scrim cloths are
Expensive in this context.Any alternatives to my method,thanks for replies.

What is wrong with a mop?

You should not mix chemicals.  Flash floor cleaner or similar should deliver a good result in domestic environment.

That sounds like a lot of hard work!!
I have ceramic tiles in my kitchen and Flash with a Vileda mop does the job brilliantly.  I must admit though, i don't know what a scrim cloth is!!

A scrim is the cloth window cleaners use to give a smear free result. They usually last for ages and are also useful on tiles etc.

If it is a ceramic floor you should be able to get away with using a flat mopping system with a micro fibre head. No chemicals would be needed just water, and should leave it smear free.

Have you tried water and vinegar? I know its common knowledge but it might work....
