Good way to clean linoleum kitchen floor?

Question

I have white linoleum and it gets dirty everyday, but I have a 4 month old and a busy life and I don't always have time to mop everyday.

Do you know of any good products to make my life easier? I have tried Swiffer and it sux. I looked at the Hoover products, but the reviews online weren't very good. I have also seen the Scooba from iRobot, but right now it is not in my budget.

Thanks for your suggestions!

ok, I don't need to know about chemicals..I am looking for a tool...like Swiffer Wet or Scooba...I am just sick of using a nasty mop. Plus using a mop takes forever. And I have a lab who sheds all over, making it even harder because I have to sweep and vacuum too! Thx!

(fyi: I have a Dyson and it has lost it's suction)

Answer 1

clean well and apply several coats of wax and then alls it needs is a damp mopping once in a while. the wax will help keep dirt from sticking to the floor making it much easier to clean.

Answer 2

There's a new product on the market now that will tackle that kind of job, Swiffer now makes wet mops for just that purpose and can be purchased at any retail store. It comes with a supply of mop heads and solution you can use. This is battery operated and the heads can be desposed of after each mopping.

Answer 3

Try a little ammonia and warm water, the after it dries use a mild cleaner, like Mr. Clean. I have found that the ammonia will get and dirt oils and grit off the floor, but because of the smell I like to use Mr. Clean after wards.

Answer 4

Dyson makes the best vacuum cleaner EVER. I've had other brands but Dyson is hands down the best. It won't clog, and when you vacuum, you get absolutely everything, No kidding.

Answer 5

I've heard that vinegar and water works well.
