Fabulous Floors!
I have to admit it, I’m an appalling floor cleaner! It’s the one of the most tedious chores imaginable and because I typically use old rags, they end up getting caught up and twisted around the newfangled sweeper thing that I tie them around - all in all a nightmare - however, I think I may have found a great solution: it’s a little upright, steam mop that is completely chemical-free as you don’t have to use any product with it. Made by the trusty Vacuum company, Bissell, it is quite magical. You just fill it up with a little water and press a button when you want some hot steam. It comes with four microfiber mop pads that you stick in the washing-machine when you’re done. My kitchen and bathroom floors are sparkling, with very little backbreaking work involved - hurrah! It says I can use it on my wood floor, however, I’m a little nervous about that as I’m not entirely sure that they’re “sealed”. It uses very little energy and zero toxic chemicals - so I’ll give it the Gorgeously Green seal http://www.bissell.com/Products/c/bare+floor+solutions/p/1867-7/product.aspx

I too have a steam mop, mine is the Shark Steam mop. I love it. I no longer worry about my little ones getting into the bucket of cleaning chemicals that comes along with a conventional mop. The floor dries quickly so no slips and falls. This was one of my first green purchases. Totally worth the money!

I have the shark steam mop. it passes the white sock test and is great with the grout. dries imeditaly so no streaks. I am a profesinal cleaner/organizer so green and effective products are very important for me and my clients. the shark passes all my tests:)
