Mary,
The mop she has me use is different from the swiffer. I have used the swiffer. This one has a long flat velcroed head to fit the pad onto. It's probably 1 1/2 feet long and the pad that goes it is blue terry like those blue cleaning rags that you can buy. They seem to have some kind of rubbery fiber in them that grips slightly. I don't like them. When I clean the gripper handles on the equipment at Curves with these kind of rags it's hard to move the rag down them.
I think that she may have ordered this thing off QVC. It has 3 changable/washable terry pads that came with it.

Yes, I know the kind of mop that you are talking about and I love them. I bought one (myself) to mop her kitchen with and I felt that she didn't like it because she had her husband go out a buy this BIG bulky mop that I can't hardly handle. It ended up outside...I use it to mop the porch and I use the "handiwipe" mop for the kitchen.
Regarding the vinegar and water......that's my thought. At one time I was cleaning for two younger women and they both had me use the vinegar and water on their hardwood....beautfiul floors! But they had me add a little bit of pinsol to the water as well. One of the ladies had me towel drying the floor....I didn't clean there too long! She lived in a huge house and my age couldn't handle all that.

Anyone else use the water and vinegar on laminate flooring?
Let me know because I will print this off and take it to show her Monday.
Mert

Carolyn
Is your mop the swiffer or is it the big one that I described in the previous post? Maybe that big thing is called a swiffer too. The kind of swiffer that I am familiar with is the dry one and then there's one that you fit a wet pad on. I've used those at several homes that I used to clean....don't like those either!

I am desperate for an answer in getting the floors right. My little elderly lady does not complain about the floor but I see it. I know that I clean it good. I just don't like how it looks after I put all that muscle and energy into cleaning it. I have to go back to clean Monday so that's why I am needing to get some answers.
Hurray for vinegar and water!
Thanks for you input Carolyn.
