This is How I: Sweep & Mop

I hate cleaning! It takes me so long and so much energy to do my floors.  Honestly, I don’t clean them as often as I should, but I am getting better at it. I usually devote a day on the weekend for bigger chores like floors.

And, honestly, floors are usually done while I’m doing laundry.  It gives me time to take breaks between rooms, while still being productive.  No matter when I’m doing my floors, I absolutely have to schedule it in. It will not get done otherwise. 

In my condo, I only have hardwood floors.  The carpet was the first thing to go. So, I have a vacuum and then clean them.  I have a Bissell Adapt Ion Pet Cordless Vacuum that is super lightweight and plugs in to recharge. In the video, I was using a Swiffer wet mop, but I have since switched to a microfiber cloth and a more natural cleaning solution.  I didn’t like how wasteful the wet cloths were, and I didn’t know how clean it was and how healthy it is for Diamond to be laying on.

The actual task of sweeping/mopping is fairly easy, but as I mentioned before, it takes a lot of energy out of me.  Maybe it’s because I hate it, but no matter the reason, I’m tired afterward. I wanted to share how I use furniture or walls around me to help move me and how I hold and use the vacuum and mop.
