No Fuss, Quick Clean Floors - March 2018
I'm a new Mum with a baby that is terrified of the vacuum cleaner. If I use it when she sleeps she wakes, so I tried sweeping, but that just didn't clean very well and when it came time to use our steam mop it was filthy and I'd have to wash the mop end all the time and would still find my hair and the cat's fur and food and fluff all over the place. So, to save my sanity and my babies sleep, I gave up and cleaned the floors the way they do in South East Asia (I did work there for a time). I grabbed a small wash cloth and some water, got down in a crouch and literally wiped the floor clean.
The first time I did this I was shocked at how quick it was. Much quicker than pulling out the vacuum, then emptying the vacuum, getting out the mop, changing power points every room. To do my kitchen, bathroom and laundry it took a mere 15 minutes. Not only did it pick up every hair and speck of dust, I didn't use any power, no hot water, barely any actual water and I just wash the cloth with my next load of laundry. You can also use rags of old clothes such as old socks or odd socks. Slide a hand in and off you go; great for dusting and cleaning Venetians too! No more vacuum maintenance, no fuss. Keeps you limber and feels much cleaner too!
