i need to buy a mop too, X used to do all mopping, so this is a new area for me. (He was into mopping and floor polishing the lino - like it was an Olympic sport - don't ask).

i have floorboards (only one rough coat of varnish, so they are not properly done, there are paints of raw floor boards as a result) and the showerroom, toilet and laundry are tiled. There is NO gullytrap in the "laundry" so getting rid of excess water is an issue - no where for it to drain. This is a 1950's place, it's illegal to build a laundry without a gullytrap these days.

Due to the constraints of RSI (similar to arthritis), i need something that is not too heavy, i'm better with big movements, fine motor movements give me grief.

so any suggestions for a mop to buy, i'm all ears. at the moment i'm doing it all by hand (bending down spot cleaning), and vacumming the dust on all surfaces.

I try to do lots of "spot scrubs" by bending down with a small sponge
