I must have ESP or something, because I did 1/4 of today’s 30-Day House Cleaning Challenge assignment yesterday!
Today we had to clean all the floors in our house. Since I worked on cleaning the bedrooms yesterday, I only had to vacuum the main levels and the basement, and mop the kitchen/living room.
We were expecting company this evening, so I thought I would wait until after dinner to do my cleaning. I’m so glad I did…while I was making dinner, I accidentally knocked over a container of cinnamon sugar and it spilled all over the stove and floor 🙁
I love my steam mop for cleaning the floors…it does a great job and uses nothing but water!
It feels good to have a spotless floor! (Although with two kids, a dog, and a cat, it won’t stay that way for long ;))

April 24, 2013 at 9:47 amThank you Shelly! I was mad that I wasted all that cinnamon sugar by knocking it over, but I would have been even more angry if I had spilled it all over a freshly-mopped floor! 🙂

April 24, 2013 at 9:46 amHi Sarah…thanks for stopping by! We have laminate floors on our main level. For some reason, it seems like they get dirtier faster than linoleum floors (or maybe it’s just that I can see the dirt more easily?). I used to buy a special laminate floor cleaner, which was pretty expensive, but now I just use plain water and the steam mop and the floors turn out great.

April 24, 2013 at 12:17 amI almost bought a steam mop last year on Black Friday, but was thinking that wood floors are temporary for my family since we are in a rental for at least another year, but I’m definitely wishing now that it’s a muddy spring that I would have gone ahead and made the purchase! Your floors look amazing!
