Hard floor cleaners

PapaLazaru · 6 Apr 2021 at 10:55

Karndean floor so no steam, plus a few rugs.

Looking at the Bissell Crossmax at the moment @ £200.

Any alternatives in the same price bracket?

I've been looking at these too, tineco ifloor gets good reviews but pricier.

Shall watch thread with interest.

Hard floor cleaners = a mop with a knuckle duster.

It's a tech forum dude! It's all about making life more difficult

Mopping is such a pain as you have to do it twice, so I tend to do it once every few months. In fact, I don't think I have cleaned our floor since before Christmas as it takes too long to dry.

Search continues.

Only if you soak it.

damp micro fibre on the end of a stick with some floor detergent. Job jobbed, seconds to set up and the micro fibre gets bundled in the washer at the end.

Flash speed mop if you want to go down the disposable route.

Both of those takes a few minutes to dry.

get a robo mop ?
or a robo hoover with mop function (generally not the best , but has to be better than not moping for 4 months)

This! Simple.

We hard oak hardwood so can't go near a steamer really, we bought this simple spray thing mop. Works well with nice Method floor soap to smell nice

We haven't got pets or live in the countryside so our floors generally just need a wipe over.

Have the same mop as post above, Karndean LVT, use Karndean liquid cleaner, mix it with really hot water to help get off dirt and makes it dry really fast.

Get a baby... Once they start to crawl they do a great job of buffing up hardwood floors.

Easier when they move into a walker as you can (and I have at points) put a microfibre on the front and it will at least semi dust it :cry:

Bought the Bissel CrossWave Pet Pro today, as we do have a cat. Plus the missus seems to be permanently shedding her mop (her hair gets everywhere) so thought the extra power might be useful and it's currently on offer.

Will update once used.

This...?

@PapaLazaru hows it behaving?

I have been looking at these and intend to buy the Bissel. It seems to come with glowing reviews.

I did have a discussion with my floor shop that sold Karcher and he said, "look, I sell it, and I am telling you not to buy it", lol. Apparently the Karchers are slow and just spread the muck around.

That's hilarious.

The bissell crosswaves come to mind. I've read nothing but bad reviews about Karchers' equivalent. And Bissell make decent carpet cleaners so the crosswaves come from a decent pedigree.

Kärcher FC5 hard floor cleaner here and does a great job. Entire house is hard floors bar the master bedroom so a robvac and the Karcher work well together.

Sorry for the late reply! It is rather excellent. I mean we run a tidy ship in our house and I had mopped the floor a couple of weeks before using it, but the colour of the water/cleaner mix I had to poor away after using it was disgusting. It picked up loads of unseen fluff and hair as well. Really happy with it.
