A good MOP or solution for tiles

[markethound80]

We have been using the Bee Mop for our tiles and we find that all it does is spread the dirt. We use VIM as the cleaner. I look at my white socks even after mopping and they are very dirty. Can anyone recommend a good MOP or Solution for cleaning tiles so that they are actually clean... My tiles never seem to be clean..

Give TSP a try (found in the paint department at home depot) - it can cut through the grease like nothing else.

My house is FULL of tile --- ceramic and terrazzo --- and I keep it fairly clean by mopping it by hand (on my hands and knees) with a bit of Mr. Clean in a bucket of water and a rag or cloth. I've also used white vinegar in water and it works well, too. It seems to be the method rather than the cleaning solution, as long as the cleaning solution is diluted enough so that it doesn't leave a residue. I've never found a mop of any kind that cleans as well as a rag or cloth in my hands.

Hope that helps.
