flooring cleaning tips the fast way
Big thanks to SWIFFER for sponsoring today’s post! All opinions belong to us.
We are loving our vinyl floors and promised we’d share some tips on keeping them clean. We attended the Swiffer Fanatic event in NYC which was incredible. The biggest takeaway I came home with was that Swiffer is changing the way we clean. They’re making it faster without taking away the quality of cleanliness. Their goal is for families to have more time together and not waste it doing your mundane chores. It was really neat to hear their tagline “Swiffer gives cleaning a whole new meaning” elaborated on and truly understand this is their main goal. This is a company we’re happy to stand behind as our core beliefs are based around families.
When I got my viny floors I was ecstatic for a new mopping system! Before, I would haul out the mop and soapy water and spend hours sweeping and wetting and it was a half day event. Now, I use my Sweeper in place of a broom which works waaaay better because it has a cling factor that sucks the dirt to it. For mopping, I use the WetJet which locks dirt in the pad.
I’m loving the easy cleaner refill bottles too. It’s safe on vinyl but also safe for hardwood floors. I took it next door to my mom’s and tested her floors. Streak free for the win!
My kids are ages 8-14 now and they’re in charge of the floors. They break the house into 4 zones for quick cleaning and fight over who gets the Swiffers first. Luckily, it goes so fast with the dry time that the arguing is cutting down so YAY for a mom win!
What do you think? Are you a Swiffer Fanatic too? We’d love to hear what you use on your floors!

Your floors are just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing on Homestead Blog Hop!
The floors look great but I am in love with the bench. Is it a DIY?
I have used a light weight steam mop for years. Fast, disinfects, melts off food in the kitchen, no liquids or pads to buy. Works great! It has paid for itself with just adding water, and washing the pads. You can use on vinyl, wood and ceramic. I think these other systems are a real $$$ maker for the companies. It’s buy, buy, buy…
Neat ideas!

I have a German Shepard that molts none stop I need this in my life !!
I use a swifter for my floors quick clean ups. They are a good product.
Awesome post, I’ll make good use of your tips! I don’t usually clean the floors, but now that I’m living alone I have to, so it’s nice to learn a couple of things from blogs like yours, thanks!
I’m a fan of the swiffer wet jet, too. Your floors look great. It’s so cool that your kids enthusiastically join in with cleaning the floors. Great job on the parenting, there!

Kids love it! Easy peasy! Thanks, Mimi!
I love my swiffer! I have the wet one and the dry one and use it on wood, tile, and vinyl!
I love my Swiffers!! I use the Wet Jet as well. I have ceramic tile and wood laminate floors and it works awesome. Good for you for getting your kids involved in the process!
I wish I would have jumped on the Swiffer train long ago, kicking myself for all the TIME I wasted, boo!!
