r/Cleaningandtidying

Title basically says it all. I live in an apartment by myself, and mopping is probably my least favorite chore. I keep putting it off because the whole process of scrubbing and then rinsing the mop over and over gets really annoying and takes way too long.

I usually end up doing it about once a week, sometimes closer to every ten days. Not sure if that’s fine or a bit gross lol.

How often do you guys usually mop? Also open to any tools or easier methods, because I’d definitely like to make it less of a hassle.

i’ve been thinking about getting a steam mop because regular mopping is one of those chores i never mind in theory but somehow always end up putting off

most of my floors are hard flooring, and i’m mainly just looking for something that makes routine cleaning easier and feels a little less annoying than dragging out a whole bucket every time. i’ve looked at a few steam mops already, but it’s hard to tell which ones are actually useful in real life vs just sounding good in reviews

mostly want something that’s easy to use, works well for normal floor cleaning, and doesn’t feel like overkill for everyday mess. if you’ve got one that was actually worth it, what did you end up going with?
