What do you use to clean your floors?
The majority of our floors is that laminated click wood flooring. We have it in the living room adn hallway upstairs and it covers 100% of the downstairs floor. In the kitchen and bathrooms we have linoleum, and in three of the upstairs bedrooms we have light beige carpeting.
I bought a Swiffer for the wood portion of the floors, and had been washing the kitchen and bathroom floors by hand. I did not like the residue left when I did the linoleum floors by hand so I switched to using the Swiffer for those floors too. This however, gets expensive ans the Swiffer needs fancy smancy cloths on it to wash.
So what kind of mop should I be using? I do not want one that will break constantly - thats why I had been doing the floors by hand, my mops kept breaking. I was thinking about getting a microfiber mop but do not know how well they will hold up to a house with three little boys a dog and a cat!
I sweep before I wash, but there is still a TONNE of cat and dog hair that gets picked up, whether I am washing by hand or mop. I like the idea, also, of a mop that has a machine washable head.
Also? The coffee stains on my bedroom carpet? How do I get those out? I tried an oxygenated carpet cleaner thing (oxy?), but it did not work :o(

Just dye the carpet coffee brown!
LOL. ya know, if i trusted myself to do a good job of it, I would! However, since each bedroom is separate, not connected by a hallway, it will not be expensive to get new carpet in them, I can do them one at a time even! (plus we can do our own installation!)
