I'v...Twice a day....you've got to be kidding me!!! I've got better things to do with my time than push a mop. I'm like Pam...no kids at home, small kitchen...so I mop on an "as needed" basis and try to swipe up those spills as they occur. I have hardwood in the kitchen and eating area, so I do sweep or dust mop once a day. My house is not spotless, but it isn't dirty either. I do have dust and I just call it texture until I get around to cleaning it up. Fortunate for me, DH thinks I spend too much time cleaning as it is. He says.."live a little...the cleaning will still be there a little later."Belviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339295196960064374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-79909754656800615192007-08-07T12:54:00.000-05:002007-08-07T12:54:00.000-05:00we have 100 year old heart pine floors..and we hav...we have 100 year old heart pine floors..and we have silt from a flood that happened a couple of years ago..and we have a million or so kids...<BR/> I probably need to mop twice a day but I don't. :(Maryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266152072897906389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-25698489946912846012007-08-07T12:37:00.000-05:002007-08-07T12:37:00.000-05:00I was just thinking I could send you a plane ticke...I was just thinking I could send you a plane ticket and you could have a nice little vacation and do a bit of "tackling" here - LOL<BR/><BR/>I don't have kids at home anymore and we have a very small kitchen now -- but when I had a nice large kitchen with lovely new floor and kids and dogs walking on them -- I never mopped the floor on a regular basis, only on a "as needed basis" with a bit of spot cleaning as required.<BR/><BR/>Mopping floors twice a day comes under the heading of Obsessive/Compulsive - LOLPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741073501328591544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-51410201985600853642007-08-07T11:01:00.000-05:002007-08-07T11:01:00.000-05:00LOL Joni.

I really like to keep things clean. 2 times a day just seems too much for me.~Bren~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14533891842002502385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-11618837143057884012007-08-07T10:56:00.000-05:002007-08-07T10:56:00.000-05:00Good God!

Heck No!But if you spend all your life cleaning and trying to keep up with the neighbors what memories will they have? I mop my floors once a week. I might vaccum them twice a week. It is just not that important. I would much rather be outside photographing or inside sewing. I know you keep your house clean so why chain yourself to housework? Give hubby the mop and let him do it!Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886142731400770148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-88620060798433072202007-08-07T10:48:00.000-05:002007-08-07T10:48:00.000-05:00Ouch those words must have bitten. You know what I...Ouch those words must have bitten. You know what I'm not the best housewife in the world, and I'm not the worst, I do keep a clean tidy house, but I also enjoy the other things in my life. So what if a magazine is out of place or a glass is on the kitchen sink waiting to be washed. Life's too short, and there are too many wonderful things to experience to stress over whether your floor needs an extra mop. Take a deep breathe and tell yourself, I'm NOT mopping....lol..... Big Hugs to you my friend.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757554177443434903noreply@blogger.com
