the problem with mopping
This may seem silly, but it's a real question that I came up with last night as I was mopping the kitchen floor for the ten thousandth time (we have pets and kids running through all the time): Why do we think that mopping actually accomplishes anything? Really, I'm getting the floor wet, pushing the mop around on top of it, and letting it dry. Didn't I just dilute the dirtiness and then spread it all over the kitchen floor? Sure, maybe a little of it gets soaked up by the mop, but I don't think it's very much. I shudder to think how dirty my floors still are after all this mopping.
Your thoughts? Recommendations?
