THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE SAID ALL ALONG.

Mopping is dirty. You're just spreading around dirt and filth everywhere. It doesn't really make anything clean. People also don't properly clean their mops, so those things are disgustingly dirty.

Mopping does not really clean anything. Every establishment that I ever worked at that mopped their floors, even with industrial-strength cleaner, if you swiped your finger on the floor you would get a grey slime on your finger.

I prefer to clean the floors Japanese style. With a small wet hand towel that's folded. You change the surface periodically throughout. Then you throw the towel into the laundry.

If you think people's mops are gross

Take a look at dish sponges

In most houses I've observed, these are consistently filthy


So I always keep my own sponge, its cleaned before / during / after use.
Wiping grease and chunks of food on your dishes is just disgusting.

I don't know, leftover cooked food remnants doesn't gross me out nearly as much as what's underneath the bottom of people's shoes.

This is why I always take shoes off at the entrance of the house. Wearing shoes indoors is filthy. You wear those shoes in public restrooms outdoors.

Also, whenever I am finished washing dishes, I use Comet crystal bleach to sterilize and clean the entire sink area with the sponge. This deters cockroaches living deep inside the drain from coming out. It also sterilizes my sponge somewhat.

I always make sure to squeeze and wrench out every last drop of liquid in the sponge too once I'm finished with it. If you leave any moisture or water or soap in it, microbes start to grow in there, and that's what starts to cause that funky smell in the sponge. Then you have to throw it away and get a whole new one.

yeah pretty much this. When I worked in a restaurant we used near boiling water and bleach solution.

Depends. In my old house in California, there was almost no dust, and since I wiped the floors clean every single day, I would only catch a couple of hairs or dropped hemp seeds or whatever on the ground. There was no dirt or grime or dust or anything on the towel, the towel was perfectly white. So in that case I would throw it in my laundry with everything else.

But in my old house in Long Beach or Philadelphia, those two areas got suuuuper dusty. No matter how often I cleaned it would be filled with dust all over again. And the towels got suuuper grimey every time I washed the floors with them. So those I wouldn't throw in the laundry, I hand-clean in the sink with detergent or bleach and then hang-dry.

Yea mopping does nothing if you do it illogically.  It's best to rinse your mop under running water after scrubbing the floor with it, before putting it back in the bucket of water/cleaner.

Use a slightly bleach solution, about 10%.

This disinfects by spreading bleach. Also, a decent amount of dirt and grime is solubilized. I dump out dirty mop water when I'm finished.

sponges are bacteria magnets, comet is an abrasive cleaner, not a sterilizing
agent, cockroaches dont live in drains, not even deep down inside them, they
enter drains for water and once they have it they leave. cockroaches living in
pipes wouldnt make it past the trap because they dont like swimming. roaches
like to live in warm, dry, dark places. not the cold, wet places such as pipes

I use a brush with some water to wipe all of the food off my dishes to make it appear clean, and then I use a sponge and soap to actually clean the bacteria.

I had a friend that worked as a biomedical engineer after he discharged from the
navy, he said when they got returns on instruments that they often had tissues still
on them and that you dont want a solution of bleach any stronger than 10% because
many pathogens will secrete a protective substance to protect themselves from
stronger solutions. 10% is weak enough that they wont see it as a threat but strong
enough to kill them


I mop twice, once with water to take up the bulk of the dirt, a second time with
bleach to sanitize and lift the remaining dirt

A lot of people especially older generations don't really rasp the concept of germs and many of the activities they consider cleaning like spreading a dirty mop around the floor or washing all your dishes with the same filthy rag (gathering a bit of grime from each dish and spreading it to each other dish) are basically perfect methods For maximum spread of bacteria

Some people even wash lettuce in their disgusting filthy sinks that have more bacteria than a toilet

When you mop you need scalding hot water and a healthy dose of white vinegar

High temperature . High pressure water. White vinegar and hydrogen peroxide.

Don't cook or wash food In your fucking sink. And you need a clean cloth after each time you wash dishes don't leave a wet filthy rag in your sink to use next time.
