The stench from our mop means it's time to throw it out and find a new one. So question to anyone who has cleaned tile floor: what type of mop and what type of cleaner do you use? I've tried several different things and can't do it without streaks. Ideas?

I like the swiffer or whatever brand those are that just have the sheets you put on. Mine squirts cleaner.
But I find that they aren't good at getting all the grime -- nothing beats hands and knees, but it is back breaking. (hopefully you're not dealing with old apartment tile that has years of grime on it! gross!)
Love the pic though!
I have to agree the Swiffer mop is fabulous! I use mine all the time! Let's get together!! Soon before it gets too cold!
I like to go to Don Aslett's store and get advice for the type of floor you are wanting to clean. I love their cleaning supplies. They are a little more expensive but I think it lasts longer since it is more consentrated. Our mop has two different attachments that velcro on for different floor types. Just a suggestion.
I usually just buy one at Walmart (don't go for the really cheap ones, they mold!!!) and then I use a TINY bit of dish soap and a lot of bleach. That seems to work for most everything.
I'm in the process of trying to decided what type of mop to get myself, so I'm not much help! :)
Hi Kristine! Our builder recommended just plain ol' vinegar and hot water. (1/2 C. per gallon of H20). It works great.
Also, no choir on Sunday -- we don't have an accompanist yet! Did you like Book Club?
I like post like these. Very informative. I usually use hot water and windex with amonia in it. Not sure why I do this...I think I will try the vinegar thing. I just hope it doesn't stink too bad.
