Question Do you scrub your floors on your hands and knees?

I do, once a month and in between I use a mop. And of course it needs sweeping almost daily.
I love the feeling of knowing it's 100% clean after the hands and knees cleaning.

Rarely, only when I can't stand it anymore.

I have to if I want our kitchen floor clean. It has really, really old laminate. So old that there is no longer a wax finish and a mop just does not get it clean. So once a month I am on my hands and knees with a scrub brush, sponge and vinegar and water.

I do love the way I feel after. I also scrub our kitchen walls the same time and it feels so nice to have such a clean home for at least a day.

I can't wait for the day to come though when we remodel our kitchen and I have our beautiful tile floor and the kids are old enough to not get food on the wall!!

I do it every time, but it's not that large of an area and the swiffer mop just doesn't do the trick for me.

Yes I do and I touch up with our swifter though I use old rags on our swifter and don't buy the little clothes that comes with them.

Well actually I was using Swiffer but I just didn't find I could put the pressure I needed to on that mop thingie.

So I make my own homemade Swiffer wipes but I do them on my hands and knees.

Gets it really clean and I toss the mess away.

I only do that to my kitchen floor once or twice a month, depending how bad it needs it. In between that I sweep and mop it.

Only when it really needs it. I have a large area of kitchen flooring and I really hate to get on my hands and knees to scrub it. I have bad knees-NO cartilidge in them so to get on my knees on hard floors just about kills me. So I only do it about twice a month.

I use to do it all the time but now I do it seasonal. I use the mop everyday.
