How can I clean a tile floor without having to scrub on my hands and knees?

Question

I'm moving out of my rental property and i've decided to clean it myself... well I vacume every second day and mop once a week or fortnight (depends on what it looks like)
after I mop the floors they look clean but if I get on my hands and knees and scrub in between the tiles then more dirt comes off... is there another way to clean this or am I doomed at scrubbing for about 6 hours?? the whole house is tile except the bedrooms and I would love to know if i could pour something on it and then mop over it?? I appreciate the help!!

Answer 1

I have the same floor as you do. I simply let scrubbing bubbles sit on it, mixed with baking soda and vinegar. I leave the room. I can't scrub anymore due to my arthritis. So this works.
After awhile I come back and everything is gone. right down to its nitty gritty lined stuff. Good luck.

Answer 2

When I had tile, this is what I did. It sounds strange, but it works: I would put the cleaning product on the floor and put the scrubbing cloth on the floor too. Then I would take off my shoes and stand on the cloth and scrub the floor with the cloth using my bare feet. It's even more fun if you do it to music. When you're all done scrubbing, you can use the mop to finish up. I did this for years, and like I said, it works, and it's easy on the back and knees.

Answer 3

I use an ordinary soft broom (with a long handle) and very hot water, and vinegar, and I scrub using that - simple. Then I put an old towel over the broom head and dry it off. Perfect.
