 Many if not most industrial mop buckets these days have two separate compartments, one for the dirty wrung-out water and one for the clean water. Even with a one-bucket mop, any dirt or grime redeposited should be sanitized. The amount is minimal as Pris said, but if you want to be obsessive about it, do it a few times- Sweeping -> mopping -> scrubbing/deck brushing -> sweeping -> mopping/dry-mopping.
So how do those work? Do you swish the mop in the dirty water first, then back in the clean water?
you've never actually mopped anything have you, probably never even watched the cleaning lady mop either

I've mopped at work, but everybody has told me that I have improper technique when I mop, that I look like I'm dancing and not really mopping.
I've never seen an extra compartment to put 2 separate tanks of water in those yellow mop buckets, I've only seen 1 compartment to put water in, and that lever squeezes out all the extra water. Maybe I just don't know how to use it correctly. I never thought to Youtube "how to use a mop" before. 
But at home like I said, I don't mop at home. I'm old school and use a damp towel and get on my hands and knees and wipe with cleaner or water, depending on how dirty it is.

i do something similar by getting semi wet rags, and wiping the floor with them using my feet (usually covered in shoes).
Ive used those industrail mopper buckets, but i dont ring them out cause the dirty water just gets into the good water in the bucket. I just dip the mop in the bucket water a few times, then dump outb the nasty ass water when it gets super nast.

quinn said: does anyone here know how to mop?
serious question.
i have asked a number of people spanning several generations and all of them agree that mopping doesnt make sense.
i mean you have one bucket filled with water, where you wet your mop, gather dirt from the floor and then deposit the dirty water back into.. where you wet your mop again 
clearly this is a closed system of spreading dirty water along a dirty floor.
and then knowing when to squeeze out the water and planning the job so you dont get footprints on the clean floor is all a bit much.
mopping is the worst and possibly made up.
if anyone could shed light on what everyone is doing wrong or on the origins of this huge scam it would be much appreciated.
Hello, and Welcome to:
NTD's Mop TipsTip 1: When the mop water has absorbed a significant amount of dirt form the floor it changes color. By the time it's a dark color it's a good idea to empty and refill the bucket. Tip 2: To avoid getting footprints on your freshly mopped floor, make sure to begin mopping at the end of the room opposite from your exit. Tip 3: Add some vinegar. It's a good sanitizing agent.

Well, floors are just treated as dirty places in most cultures..because they are. Mops do a good job of removing visible signs of filth from the floor, but they do not create a food safe surface. Just take your shoes off at the door when you get home, and treat something that falls on the floor as dirty

Clean floors are really nice to have. I like to be barefoot and don't like the little dust, food crumbs, etc. on my feet.

Urine application also builds up a durable surface to protect your floor.

Getting on your hands and knees to clean the entire floor? Take a break off the pipe. Bleach, fabuloso and mop twice using fresh water.

(@ crystal dancing while mopping more specifically)
When i started in fast food i would sweep the floor like charlie chaplin just to entertain the diners there. I would waddle my feet and just swing the broom left and right, it actually didn't do a bad job either kicks a lot of dust up.
