Now I'm lucky if I get to it once a weeks...so sometimes it goes 1.5-2 weeks...yuck! I usually dry sweep/mop with a microfiber thing and then wet mop with hardwood floor cleaner. I touch up with my dyson every once in a while too but nothing beats doing the whole floor cleaning routine. I'm looking into getting cleaners to come help before I have baby #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1050733 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:16:23 +0000 autumnlove 1050733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: I bought one at Target and I'm in love!

So lightweight, cordless, and picks up pet hair/dust like crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1046784 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:15:13 +0000 pinkcupcake 1046784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a dry mop and then Bona floor cleaner. I've found that lightly misting a Swiffer dry cloth w/one spray of floor cleaner and then getting down to scrub the floor gets the floors super clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1046676 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:51:40 +0000 Sunshine1810 1046676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my Swiffer vacuum daily like @char54, unless it is a day when I am using the Dyson (2-3 per week). Then I use the Swiffer Wet Jet once a week to clean the floor. I have wood laminate floors downstairs (kitchen included) with the exception of the bathroom which has tile floors. I use the same routine for the tile, but I wash those by hand every 2 weeks on top of my regular routine. I feel like the grout between the tile never gets clean enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1046647 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:45:39 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1046647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dry swiffer, then use the shark mop. I touch up certain places by getting on my hands and knees and using disinfecting wipes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1046618 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:39:40 +0000 LuLu Mom 1046618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sweep 4-5 times a week, wet swifter mid-week, and Shark on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1046614 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:39:03 +0000 mrsjyw 1046614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same!

Once a week I haul out the vacuum. We have a cleaning lady who comes every 2nd week and she does a really good job vacuuming/mopping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045463 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 05:57:38 +0000 artsyfartsy 1045463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a broom to get all the big stuff, then a swiffer vac to get the dust and little stuff I missed, and then a shark steam mop to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045453 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 05:29:50 +0000 petunia354 1045453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what ratio do you use for vinegar to water? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045442 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 04:41:30 +0000 StbHisMrs 1045442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sweep multiple times a day, steam mop, then I soak the shark pad in a cleaner and wet mop with it. I think I'll try the water/vinegar mix next, my floor always feel sticky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045433 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 02:11:13 +0000 808love 1045433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this thread!

When I'm ambitious ill wet mop them too but that's rare. I'd say I sweep every day and swiffer once or twice a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045380 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 23:45:12 +0000 HLK208 1045380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to vacuum, steam mop and vacuum again, daily. Every two weeks I mop by hand. Dark hardwood floors show everything and the LO's are always dropping crumbs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045374 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 23:34:10 +0000 mrskc 1045374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I don't do it, but DH sweeps and then uses the shark steam mop. We also have a housekeeper that comes every other week and she does a really good job of mopping our floors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045359 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 23:17:08 +0000 katsupgirl 1045359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sweep, swiffer(dry), swiffer mop. I totally want to add steam mop too. Sadly I don't clean as much as I want to. I'm slowly getting back to my routine since LO is looking to walk and practice her pincer grasp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045356 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 23:11:55 +0000 autumnlove 1045356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: haha, my dog helps out! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045154 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:24:17 +0000 doodlepoodle 1045154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This would imply that I clean my floors............;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-flooring-cleaning-routine#post-1045150 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:22:57 +0000 MamaChin 1045150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I Swiffer (dry then wet) a couple times a week and do a hands-and-knees cleaning once every two weeks.

It attaches to the side of the swiffer and there's a button on the handle that you push to squirt some out. </p>
