Making Mopping Fun!

Printer-friendly version

OK, so maybe fun is not the exact word. How about more……. bearable.

One day I was looking at my kitchen floor thinking that it really needed to be cleaned. You know it needs it when I stepped into something and my flip-flop stuck to my floor. Mopping my floor is right up there with getting lemon juice in a paper cut. Not so fun! I have a pretty big kitchen/dining room area.  I sighed and went to work. I sprayed down all the gooey gunk, rinsed off my mop and began.

 At the time I was 7 months pregnant and one of the most irritating things is to get down and wipe up the water so it is not slippery. Then I had an idea. I asked my 3 girls ages 8 and 3 to each get a towel and they could “skate” on the kitchen floor to wipe up the excess water. The girls were super excited to do this and it made it easier for me. It was also fun to watch them skate around. They even got down on their hand and knees and started singing “Sing Sweet Nightingale” from Cinderella.

  This way of mopping the floor is ideal if you need a quick mopping job. Right now being   8 months pregnant I am not super picky on how deep of a clean my floor gets as long as it looks clean. I would totally recommend it and it makes it go a lot faster and is more fun for everyone!!
