Bona's great. I've also like Weiman Floor Cleaner. I'd say even more important is a good
pro grade dry mop for regular dust/grit cleanup (not any of that Swiffer BS). You should be able to find it cheaper at your local hardware store.

Story time: We custom built our house and at the end of the build the GC brought in one hardcore middle aged lady that spent 2-3 days cleaning the ENTIRE damn house from construction zone to spotless. She was superhuman. I was doing touchup painting and made sure to be very respectful of not dirtying up rooms that she had already cleaned and apparently she really appreciated it, as she left one of her dry mops with a nice note wishing us luck in our new house and saying this dry mop was the most important thing we'd need. She was right, you can dry mop an entire floor of the house in just a few minutes and it takes it from "this floor is covered in grit and cat hair" to "nice and clean". Then just proper mop occasionally. If you go too long between proper mops, it can be nice to steam mop to get the tough dirt that won't easily mop out.

These.

I use a gym-style mop on the hardwood for cat fur and dust and what not. Like this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TA2JYM4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_SWZKBbNJEWT4Q

use this for wiping off the walls, ceiling.

use this or this for floors

use this for keeping hair from blowing around.

what sort of baked items will you be selling? i think that's really awesome. may i ask what country you are in and what sort of regulations you will need to follow? good luck :)

If you want a real BIFL mop system, go commercial. This mop is awesome and metal. You can really bear down on it to scrub with no worries of breaking plastic pieces. I use it on hardwood and slate floors. The pads velcro on and off easily. I use the dust mop every couple days and then go for the wet pads when the floors look dirty. I have 2 wet pads that I switch between when I go from room to room. They are machine washable, but I don't wash them between every mop, maybe every 4. Get a bucket and some Murphy's oil soap and you'll be set.

Looks like a commercial vinyl tile. If so, it should be stripped and waxed on occasion for the best look:

You basically purchase a diluted stripping solution, mix it with water and mop on and let sit for a couple minutes. Something like this:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/ZEP-1-Gal-Heavy-Duty-Floor-Stripper-ZULFFS128/203144888

You scrub the old wax and dirt off - in a commercial setting you would use a big mechanical buffer... however you can purchase something called a Doodle Bug. If you don't want any extra gear, a good bristled scrub brush should to. A knockoff Doodle Bug can be found on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071K69X26/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_emBxDb9T0YYEV

Wash the stripper and dirt up as much as possible (squeegees are a blessing) and then mop on some wax/polish and let dry:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/ZEP-1-Gal-High-Traffic-Floor-Polish-ZUHTFF128/202860171

In a commercial setting I'd be putting floor sealer on before the wax and burnishing the final coat with a high RPM floor burnisher to harden the wax... but it isn't critical in a home.

Source: Managed 25 institutional buildings with over 100 janitorial staff and I was intrigued by vinyl tile floor care. Did you know that a mechanical floor buffer can throw you across the room if you don't hold it right? Lol.

Well, here's the specific one I use.

They're mop slippers. A slightly older rendition of these, but the same basic idea.

I found this on your wishlist with FREE shipping.. am I doing this correctly?! lol

You’ll thank me later.

Owner of a husky here! I’ve been using the Furminator deshedding shampoo and conditioner when I give her a bath. Along with brushing every other day, the hair becomes somewhat manageable. These sheets are also a lot better than using lint rollers to get hair off your clothes and furniture. I also have this car seat cover which helps with hair in my car. Also makes it a lot easier to keep my car clean after a day at the dog beach.

Swiffer also makes a pet version of their dry sheets that attracts pet hair like a magnet. I’d vacuum everyday, but she’s afraid of the vacuum.

Yeah why mess around. I emailed my dad my wishlist and he emailed me his. My mom dropped no hints, no wishlist, nothing. She got mop slippers.

I would get the dust out with a flat dust mop, like this one. Once the dust is gone, a wet Swiffer should work. You could also attach a microfiber cloth with cleaner to the Swiffer, if you don't feel like those disposable cloths do the trick.

You can sweep while you walk around~

You look wonderful today, did you do something new to your hair?

You should get this can opener is made of good thick steel, it's heavy in the hand and I have never had a problem opening a can with one. Bonus, it has a bottle opener on it.

And this is an excellent liquid measuring cup.

You may also want some of the following:

Hand soap for the kitchen and bathroom sinks, hand towels.
You need basic first aid stuff, like adhesive bandages (band-aids) and rubbing alcohol, good tweezers. Include basic pain meds, stuff for an upset stomach, allergy meds, or any prescription medications you need.

Sponges and scrub brushes. If you want to use a swifter type thing, I'd like to recommend this I have used it to clean offices and it works. The handle is pretty heavy duty and you can make or buy extra cleaning cloths, then you just put them in the washer.

Oh a colander, I will admit I picked that one because it's cute.

I love my rice cooker I use it to steam vegetables or cook rice at least once a week. I have the larger version but that one would probably work, or the larger one.

I could use one of the following: Notebook or Scissors or a Book.

I suggest a steam mop for deeper cleaning.

For casual weekly cleaning or whatever I have a reusable Libman mop. Basically it's a Swifer that you fill yourself and wash the pad.

I make this homemade cleaner and it works wonders.

I have original hardwood floors from the 1930's and I swear by the techniques above. It's both gentle and effective.

Do not use Murphy's Oil Soap unless your floors are unfinished wood floors!

I was looking for something that combines:

I have a mix of hardwood and carpets in my flat. I was hoping there was something out there that would vacuum both the hardwood and carpets and mop the hardwood and clean the carpets.

Something like this I assume. Restaurants and bars use that velcro fiber mop, so I bet that if you try a local tukku store, you can find it.

I have the Libman Spray mop, which essentially is a refillable Swiffer. I used to a Swiffer and loved it, but got really tired of constantly paying such a high price for the refills and the mop pads, especially since the mop pads would only seemingly clean about half the kitchen floor before needing to be tossed. Anyhoo, I love, love, love this thing, and like the OP, have two reusable, cleanable mop pads. I use one and rinse it out in the sink occasionally as I'm cleaning the house, then throw it in the laundry and just keep rotating the two. I also have a nubbly one I use for dry dust mopping. I have an approximately 1300 sf home with wood floors throughout, except bathroom which is tile.

Anyhoo! I think O'Cedar brand and Rubbermaid also make a version. I would definitely recommend a system like this to anyone, especially if you have lots of floors to mop. I think it's definitely the quickest, best and most economical (for me anyway) way to get the floors nice and clean. This is coming from someone who has two kids and 3 very furry kitties.

We have a 2 story, 3 bed/3bath house and I do all the cleaning. It takes me about 2 hours. A robot vacuum cleaner like roomba or shark vac helps me out tremendously. I have both and prefer the sh tork over roomba.

Another cleaning product that is great for picking up hair, dust and even glitter is 3M Sweep and Dust sheets. The sheets are a little tacky, which makes it easier to grab almost anything, especially hard to reach area. I use it in the restroom, between the blinds, and every crevices around the house (window, door frame, under bed/cabinet, on furniture, etc.). Hair is one of the biggest complaint guest would mention in their review, so this product actually helps me grab any that I may have missed one I do one final sweep at the end of my cleaning.

If you've got enough hardwood to justify it, I've found that a dry mop is much easier and faster than using a broom.

May I recommend something that totally changed my PMS life?

Microwavable seed/grain plush toys pillows. Yes. Microwavable apple seed plush toy pillows. They are pillows. They are cute. They are shaped like a plush animal. They have seeds inside which get warm in the microwave and give heat for 1/2-1 hour. They are REALLY nice to lay on your belly or put between your back and the back of a chair.

If you need to stay on your feet (I'm so sorry!) they make reusable warmable inserts you can wrap around your waist under your clothes.

But for the home? Go wild:

Bought a house a year ago from a pair of chain smokers. They were also there about 20 years.

I'd recommend cleaning the walls before priming and painting. I had the most success with an ammonia solution like Windex. However the recommended general purpose wall cleaner on this board is TSP. You should be seeing a big yellow stain on whatever you wipe with. That's nicotine. We used a microfiber dust mop like this.

Laminate and tile didn't seem to absorb much if any odor. Carpet and padding did so make sure it was replaced.

Also check if the windows were cleaned. Make sure you have good ventilation during all this cleaning.

Air purifier inside the tent won't do anything really. There will be too much turbulent air flow that it would be lucky to trap particles that fly by the intake. Best bet is to use filter media on the intake fan of the tent. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Horti-Control-DS4-Dust-Shroom/dp/B0046UWI14/?th=1
