How do you wash the floor, with a mop or on your hands and knees?

I usually use a mop but every now and then I like to wash the cracks the mop can't reach with my hands. I did that today and I realized I don't do it often enough! I like to clean the floor with my hands but it's not very easy on my knees! I suppose I could use knee pads but I don't have any just laying around the house.

Using a mop is good if I am in a hurry but I really need to wash it with my hands to get a good cleaning.

How do you like to do it?

Normally I will use the mop. But if the floor is really dirty and it looks like it needs some extra help, I will get on my hands and knees and scrub. I just did this the other day. I find it hard to get into the cracks and the edges of the walls with my mop.

The mop was an invention for lazy people! lol! I can't only use a mop, that never gets cleaned good. I don't like seeing a crud buildup around my baseboards.

I like to use a mop, it's much quicker and less wear and tear on the elbows and knees. A hands and knees job is the way to go every six months but otherwise, you gotta mop it up baby, mop it up!

I don't think I can wait 6 months for mine! I have kids and they like to roll around on the floor. I think I waited 3 months since the last deep cleaning and that was too long according to my washrag!

I like to clean the tub while I take a shower. I use a wash rag and a bleach cleanser.

I used the mop, since I hate cleaning with my hands and I am always in a hurry since I clean after work.

Mops do make it go faster. I bet floors would hardly ever get cleaned if mops weren't available.

Hi, oraclemv. I like to use the mop. I could never understand how women could clean the floors on their knees. I have seen them do this in the old days. Cleaning floors on the knees takes much work and a longer job. I prefer to stand up while I am mopping.
