Mopping Tile

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?

Energy-saving, Money-saving

I wish I could say I am trying to conserve energy to save the earth. But really, it's to save money. Power bills are about to go up. So I have been reading about tips to save power. Here are four that I am going to try this month:
- wash clothes in cold water
- dry clothes on a drying rack (at least some of them)
- use a power strip for the entertainment center
- allow dishes to air dry in the dishwasher
We still have the energy-sucking incandescent light bulbs, but we have at least entertained the idea of upgrading to fluorescent. Someday. It's a big investment. But our city has recently provided a way to dispose of the fluorescent bulbs. I guess we'll think on that. I'll let you know if I am saving money. Any other tips?
