I do not own a mop. I used to have one but it got so gross that I threw it out. My linoleum floors are so small, it's not a huge deal to get on my hands and knees to clean them.
I started out with using a rag, scrubbing, rinsing, scrubbing and so on. It worked ok but not great. I was looking for something else.
I borrowed a friend's Swiffer thinking that might be the solution but I didn't like that either.
Then I read Debbie's post on scrubbing her floors with a mop that has a brush attached. It worked for her and her floors looked similar to mine. :-)
Light bulb moment!
I had a scrubbing brush in my cleaning basket that would work great for scrubbing the floors. I would wipe and rinse them clean with a rag like I had already been using.
I tried it and it worked great! I've gotten a lot of spots off the floors that I thought wouldn't come up. My floors are still not perfectly clean all the time but they are much better than they were!
Using a scrubbing brush to clean the floors works for me!

hey! that's a great idea. i just mopped on monday and the floors don't look as good as i would have liked. i think i may have a brush similiar to that lurking about somewhere.
I don't use a mop for my bathroom either - it's way too small. I usually tackle it with a sponge, similar to your idea!
