Floor Cleaner For Judy's Birthday

[Richard Crowe]

NOT REALLY FOR HER BIRTHDAY The purchase just happened to coincide closely to her birthday...

AND I REALLY DIDN'T BUY IT FOR HER Although she will benefit from the purchase...

All of our floors are ceramic tile - our rescue dogs are not always house trained so dog proof floors are pretty necessary. We want our home spiffy clean despite our dogs...

We use a Hoover Floormate to clean the floors which does a pretty darn good job dispensing the cleaner, scrubbing the tile and picking up the dirty water.  We have been using Floormates for years and couldn't maintain our home without one...

The one area in which the Floormate drops the ball is in cleaning the grout between the tiles. We use a regular old scrub brush do accomplish this...

I asked at the Hoover repair shop if there was some better way to clean the grout and they suggested using a Koblenz Floor Scrubber in conjunction with the Hoover Floormate. The Koblenz dispenses the cleaning fluid and does a better job scrubbing while the Floormate picks up the dirty water. We could use a wet-dry vac for this purpose but the Floormate is really easier to use and we always have the Floormate set up and ready for accidents anyway!

I ordered one and I love it. My wife doesn't like using it and would rather continue to use the long handled scrub brush If one of her friends had suggested this, she would have loved it but.....

So I will be doing all the floor scrubbing - THAT'S REALLY HER BIRTHDAY PRESENT - Besides a nice dinner out that is!

Hahahaha - Happy Birthday, Judy.  I think she's very smart, not liking the new cleaner - you get to do the cleaning with it.    Actually, thanks for posting.  We have time and I just mop, but never feel that it gets clean enough.
