is there a good machine to wash bare floors instead of using a mop?

Answer 1

I have a Hoover Floormate and it does a great job. Dries as you go so no wait to walk on the floor.

Answer 2

The Hoover Floormate is a pretty nice machine that will let you do dry pick up for all the stuff on the floor. After you've vacuumed the floor, you can clean it with a wet scrub.
Another machine you might consider is the Roomba Scuba. It's like a robot mop. It makes life pretty easy but it won't work if you have non-sealed wood floors.

Answer 3

I like using my steam mop. It cleans most dirt absolutely effortlessly, uses nothing but water, and sanitizes as it cleans.

There are a few drawbacks. 1) Be sure to get a steam mop / cleaner that has a sufficient water reservoir to complete your task. 2) NEVER use on gum, etc. It'll just make a total mess!!!!!!
3) The cleaning pads are washable, which is nice, but if you have a large area to clean and don't have a spare cleaning pad, can be a nuisance.

Answer 4

I'VE ALWAYS FOUND ELBOW GREASE TO WORK THE BEST. Or you can try one of those new micro fiber flat surface mops, but get a few washable refills you need more than just the one that comes with the mop.

Answer 5

I use the swifter and like it. I wash my floors still about twice a month but for any other spills it's the swifter. I've tried some cheaper ones but they just don't work.

Floor Mate is the greatest!!!! Its like a vacum cleaner it sucks up the dirt then it has its own floor scrubbers like a carpet cleaner its the greatest

Answer 7

Hands and knees honey. i prefer a mop though

Answer 8

Save the planet, and use elbow grease... as if there isn't enough overuse of electricity with leaf blowers and stuff you want to add more?

Answer 9

A wet swiffer is much better.
