So I mopped the tile for the first time today in....well I had to clean cobwebs out of the bucket first, so it's been a while. Anyway, I mop away, I feel great about finally mopping instead of just sweeping.
Not even 30 minutes later, Emma spots ants all over the floor I had just mopped, Grant chucks his cracker bowl full of crackers onto the floor, and I'm feeling irritated because I just mopped. Why are ants crawling on my CLEAN floor, but weren't on my DIRTY floor?
Then at snack time, Grant spills yogurt all.over.the.floor. And I had to leave the room to take a few deep breaths. Normally, no big deal, I'd just wipe it up. But I had just mopped! I wanted the floor to be slightly clean for at least 12 hours.
See, this is why I hate mopping. Give me a broom any day.

Haha...:) Well a girlfriend of mine decided to start mopping in the evening so that the floors would be clean longer...even if it was only while she was sleeping!
That's awesome! That would give me close to 12 hours of clean :)
That is so my house every time I bust out the swiffer, which is not really mopping, but still such an effort these days.
Taking a moment of silence for your clean for 5 minutes floor.
