Re: Quickest way to clean 300sqm+ of hardwood flooring? 2Dec 31, 2010 6:28 am I use a combination broom/mop. The broom part is a big fluffy head that I use every day. The mop part is a microfibre material head that you dampen and run over the floor. I do this once per week. Occasionally I get out the vacuum, however this is only for major spills. Re: Quickest way to clean 300sqm+ of hardwood flooring? 3Dec 31, 2010 8:19 am I think I'm the same as upsydaisy. I use a microfibre static type broom (with a square head) most of the time. Both sabco and oates clean make ones that you can buy at major retailers. It also comes with a mop head but I haven't used that yet (only been in the house a week). Re: Quickest way to clean 300sqm+ of hardwood flooring? 4Dec 31, 2010 8:31 am Quick vacuum then dampened Oates microfibre pad (the blue one). Do the whole floor once a week and under dining table and near entrance once a day (or so).

Re: Quickest way to clean 300sqm+ of hardwood flooring? 9Dec 31, 2010 5:25 pm I use a dry Sabco Bulldozer dust control mop - 60cm wide, shaggy orange for sweeping every few days. Only takes 10 minutes for the entire house (bedrooms are carpeted). I use a damp Sabco Super Swish microfibre mop for spot cleaning and general cleaning once a week. Keeping our new timber floors has proved to be soooooo easy!

Re: Quickest way to clean 300sqm+ of hardwood flooring? 11Jan 04, 2011 10:19 pm It's the widest dust mop I could find in my local Bunnings.
