    I use the strip vileda mop and it's awesome. I chuck it in the wash every couple of weeks with some lavendar oil and when it's not in use it hangs outside in the sun. I've also found the bucket seems to super wring it and my floor dries in about 10 mins
    CrazyLady - is the mop head on this big enough? They look kinda small to me so I could see it taking me forever to mop the floor - we have over 100 square metres of tiles...

    Lets just say I've searched big w target woolies Coles franklins and kmart and cannot find it
    I think I got my mop from bunnings but thought the other stockiest would have had it

    This one you got is the Velcro one right? Or no screws required just stick

    Interesting comment about the Kenwood steam mop Mrs P.....I love mine the floor feels and looks so clean & hygenic after I've used it I would never use anything else for the larger areas especially. I have one of those vileda sponge head mops and its ok, it's good for small 'spot cleaning' or if I just want to clean single rooms like the laundry or ensuite without having to worry about filling the steam mop and waiting for it to heat etc etc etc.

    I found it flares out quite well because of the strips. It has a slightly rougher bit around the top too where I scrub. My whole house is floorboards. Also if you miss any bits vacuuming then it'll gather them up for ya.

    Vinegar and hot water is AWESOME! People use vinegar to wash windows/mirrors so it'd be great on tiles. It's the only thing i've found that brings my floorboards up beautiful too.

    ETA: My parents have very pale floor tiles in the kitchen/dining area and this is the only mop they've found that brings them up nice. They had a steam mop but it corroded
