can i just say...

I HATE TILE FLOORS!!


Ive always hated them since having them in our apartment. Yeah, sure they are nice looking but a pain in the YOU KNOW WHAT to clean! holy cow! im so used to linolium or whatever it is called and that is pretty easy to clean. There are too many ridges and what not in these tiles they are impossible to clean all the way. We got the swiffer sweeper (which is awesome to pick up hair .. mostly in the bathroom, not so much extra dirt. Then we got the Clorox (wondering if we shouldve stuck to the swiffer wet jet for an extra few bucks) and that didnt work either... ok maybe a little bit. So THEN i bought the swiffer wet mop cloths to stick on the swiffer sweeper.. eh, it worked a little. all... FAIL!

Lets just say, after today, after 2 (what USED to be all white dish clothes) and half a bottle of Mr. Clean multi-purpose cleaner (with fabreeze, smeells delish!)i got down on my hands and knees and cleaned every single tile on our kitchen floor. I have yet to do the bathroom or hallway tiles... those will have to wait!HOLY COW though.. they finally got clean. Can you guys tell a difference?



Can you see the difference between the tiles i cleaned on my knees compared to the ones i TRIED to clean with every mop!?






... from infomercials and what i saw on a news 'Buy it and Try it'... I want THIS!

I HATE TILE FLOORS!!! i hate them more than anything. it's always dirty, i sweep and sweep and it never seems cleaner. the dirt hides in the grout (sp?) and it's the worst! i'm so glad you feel the same way. Most people love tile but ugh its terrible! and we've had it in every apartment we've been in. tile=lame and always dirty floors! I use the old school mop and bucket method. It's nice because the mop heads are machine washable so i don't feel like i'm spreading all the germs. I just throw it in the washing machine after each use. When we get a house someday i refuse to have tile.
p.s. swiffer mops don't work for me either, but the swiffer dusters are awesome.

I TOTALLY AGREE!! especially those tile floors because hello who puts in white tile!! We used a magic eraser and got down and scrubbed each tile and the grout. we finally had white grout and tile again when we moved out! Plus tile is COLD!
