Wash their mops, brooms, dustpan brooms etc on a weekly basis?

I have to give all of mine a good wash after I've cleaned, like this morning, swept, vaccd (all the floors incl carpets) and mopped the tiles, then I gave the head of the vacuum cleaner, the dustpan broom, the broom and the mop a good clean in domestos (other than a weekly thorough scrub of the toilet bowl, this is the only thing I use domestos on in the house)

I've also learnt that pouring boiling water on them will make the plastic bristles melt

I soak the mop in napisan, then rinse it in white vinegar.

I've never cleaned a broom in my life. Whacking it against a wall to loosen the fluff isn't cleaning

[Marley&Me]

I soak my mop in bleach and water. And I am guilty of using a spray bottle of straight bleach for lots of things like the shower, bathroom & toilet. It just doesn't seem clean without it!

Tashybabe, I'm with you when it comes to brooms though. I find that scraping it on bricks works a treat!

Oh and i wash my dishes in almost boiling water and wear good lined rubber gloves to repel the heat. I am a bit anal like that

I rinse my mop in boiling water then leave it in the sun to dry... but what bugs me the most is my bucket...no matter what i do there is always a little bit of dirty water in the bottom...

never done a broom...but i rarely sweep...i vaccum then mop =P

I wash the firbre on my enjo mop in the wasing machine.
Ive never cleaned the brrom other than to pull the fluff out.

We vaccuum then mop most of the time too, Teirae.

There's nothing wrong with good old fashioned over the top clean!

Oh and i forgot to add, I vacuum EVERY day, sometimes twice a day if I have time. But i think that's only because we have a dog

I soak my mop in a bucket of bleach and napisan after use - I like a white mop (I think it comes from my mum!). I do was the broom - but more like monthly not weekly - never thought of doing the vaccum head though!

are you meant to wash them

[Arcadia]

I don't wash mine I just replace the mop heads often.

I do wash out the dustpan and brush once in a while.

I thought I was anal...but apparently not! :P

[Nai]

I love a good white mop head!

I used to, but with my husband I now have "sneaky" dustpan / brush that he doesn't use. I have given up on the brooms. but I do hose out the cobweb broom when finished.

[Eenee]

I don't own a broom, I just get the vacuum cleaner out

[emc2]

I have hosed them off the odd time.

Mop heads - I have a Vileda and an Oates microfibre so they go in the washing machine.

I sweep, then vac & then mop the tiles

I do also double vac the floors, but that is because I think I need a new vacuum and also I have totally crappy carpet

Feel up to cleaning my house lol it needs a good clean.

I vac once then mop with a harsh chemical to maintain the grout and then I let it dry, vac again and steam mop to remove the chemical.
Mind you my floors stay clean only for a few days thanks to my lovely puppy dog. Lol

Then it is cleaned yet again lol
