I have this robot thing which vacuums pretty well, it mops badly but it does mop so I mainly use that. If I see an actual spot, I just hand mop (at some point within 3 months)

Went years with a cheap Amazon robo vacuum/mop that just dragged a wet cloth behind itself. It was something, but not much. Recently we treated ourselves to a Eufy vacuum/mop that has a base station with a tank for clean water and another for dirty water. The mop pads actually scrub back and forth as it moves around. When it thinks the pads are dirty it goes home and cleans them. The water in the dirty tank is gratifyingly revolting - it's doing the job. Prior to that we probably mopped properly about 4 times in 10 years.

Was the same until very recently, it's just unbelievable how many crumbs appear at every mealtime. Had to hoover the kitchen every day, sometimes multiple times, wipe the tiles regularly to stop smears and smudges from liquids. Then of course it inevitably trails through the house so I was needing to hoover the living room carpet multiple times a week as well. A robot vacuum/mop is a game changer. It hoovers and mops the kitchen every evening and does the rest of the downstairs whenever I think it's needed. Genuinely the best gadget I've bought and such a time saver.

I tried closing my door but it threw an absolute fit and wouldn't work until I opened it again so that workaround went out the window for me 😂 it just drove around in circles and kept crashing into the door. They do get to the edges but the arms aren't strong and precise enough to do an effective job it still needs a manual go every now and again. My carpets kinda slope as well, and my bathroom has silicone which everything sticks too around the edges so without those it probably would be a lot more precise

Used to be once or twice a month, but then I got one of those Philips electric mops that kinda spits out the clean soapy water and sooks up the dirty water, so I do it a couple of times a week. It uses much less water because you don't have to fill a mop bucket, and the floor dries much quicker. It's really helpful if you have a big spill of water too, as it just sucks it all up if you don't fill the clean soapy water chamber. They are quite pricy, but a good investment in my opinion.

I used to do it once a week because I had this huge kitchen and it was really satisfying. Now I'm in a tiny kitchen and I can't help but feel it's a lot of effort for such a small floor. So maybe like once a quarter - which is so bad! Usually I'll do it if I have people over

Once a week with a steamer, we have hard floors throughout the house, a mix of stone and wood.

Scrubbed once a day. Quick once over everytime the dogs(5 of the little sods) decide I need to.

When it's dirty. I'd say that's probably averages between once a fortnight and once a month. Two adults, no kids or pets though, I imagine a family household would need it a lot more often.

Per month? Erm… maybe once every three months 😅 I hoover weekly and wipe up when the cats yack all over the place, but a full mopping can wait 😅

I had only one rug in my last flat, everywhere else was hard floors. I swear every time a cat needed to puke they made a beeline for it.

Mopping the kitchen and bathroom is weekly, with extra spot cleaning if I drop something. Vacuuming carpets is twice weekly. I live on my own with no pets (any more) and don’t wear shoes in the house, so the place doesn’t get very dirty.

Spot clean whenever I spill, hoover weekly to pick up any dirt or dust, actual mopping only in advance of special occasions, landlord inspections, and end of tenancy cleaning.

How often have you asked for her to do it? Or do you just leave it to her to decide when she thinks it needs doing?

Normally after she's made her delicious homemade marmalade on toast.

Once per week unless there's an obvious need to do so sooner. The floors are vacuumed every 1-2 days however.

A few times per week.

We have one of those steam cleaners. Once a week. Does the job just fine. This is one of things though where “It all depends” is an acceptable answer IMHO. Do you have kids? Pets? A muddy back or front garden? Are you busy? Etc. I get asking. But fit it in where you can.

Stone floors, so every Friday, trying to put it off as we speak, bloody hate cleaning!

Twice a day because I have three Labradors. They are washed down when they come back from their field walk, then I hoover and mop. They don’t make much mess after that as we have artificial grass in the back garden, I hoover and mop again late afternoon.

themeakster@reddit

Yeah, kinda the wrong way round, should be months per mop.

WordsUnthought@reddit

Every 6-8 weeks I think. Vacuum much more regularly though, plus no dogs/kids.

Used to be once every couple of months, unless had done something to make it particularly dirty. Now, it's done nighlty as I got a robovac/mop. White socks now stay white. I only hoover round the edges every couple of weeks now too
