2 more nights sleeping in this flat and we will be out of this place which we called home for close to 20 years.


Mopped the floor to get rid of the stickiness from the chemical wash...when the floor was dry, the tiles were sticky again. When I asked the ID, he said it will take about 1 week for the floor to be smooth.

Can I check with you ladies? Really don’t know
1) where to start mopping the floor from
2) where do you drip dry the mop? Toilet or service yard?

We start fr bedroom , then living room, kitchen , toilet, yard.
I no energy to squeeze dry dry so drip dry in toilet . Hang up on a small hook .my kitchen is big enuff so My yard can be kept cluttered free, I keep it like a balcony area for yum cha

Same here. Start fr bedrooms, living room , dining room, etc. I hv 3 mops. One fr bedrooms, the other one fr living, dining etc n 3rd one fr kitchen.

I leave all the mops in toilet to drip dry. Will always leave the mop fr kitchen on the pail coz i mop each time after i cook

I keep wet tissue in kitchen for ‘wiping’ the floor when it gets oily.

I use happy call n I feel it’s not that smoky or cause floor to be sticky
If need to , I wet a rag n use my feet to wipe the floor with clear water abt twice - fast n quick one

I use the clip/lock on 3M with handle. Change one for bedrooms; one separate for kitchen & small makan corner; one for living & dinning. Once each cloth used and rinsed, just hang up individual cloth for drying. The mop handle not affected, just rinse. I leave the cloth to dry till next cleaning. Easier than traditional mops, coz no place to put entire mop for drying.

This is more like “ dry” mopping
I bought scotch one for my mama place
But once a week -I need wet wet mopping with 4 pails of water - I like the cold clean feel fr the marble floor & wood floor after a wet mop.

I have the 3M clip lock. Service yard will not have tap to wash mop. I mopped the floor today as it is sticky and dusty. Then I was wondering where to hang the mop to dry. Looks like I would have to use the common toilet. Will put a clip lock in the toilet tomorrow.
Used 4 pails of water to mop the entire flat...no joke. 2 pails for living room, 1 for kitchen and service yard, 1 for rooms.
Thanks for all the valuable input. Lots to learn and adjust living in the new place. No point doing big cleaning since it will be dirty again after movers come in.

Hubby said I would not be able to cope when I get older.

Hmm..the floor will be dirty again after the shifting. I did one round of mopping before the shifting.

Then one more thorough mopping n cleaning after the shifting. It took me a week to finish cleaning the furniture etc after shifting.
I m still unpacking n arranging my barang ever since the shifting last april..very slow hor...very reluctant to store the things in cabinet n drawers. There is still smell despite i hv put charcoal , dehumidifier etc ...

I had someone clean the cupboards, wardrobes and windows.
With so many boxes around, I am trying to do another round of disposal and also to facilitate space for movers when they bring big items in. Saturday, I aim to clear more things. Hubby will come back to old place to see what is left behind. I think I would need 1 week or even more to settle down.
Trying to keep service yard clutter free.

happy call is good with lids closed. Whenever I feel like having 'big' cooking. Then I will need wet tissue to wipe first, else larger space gets oily after stepping around. Most time, quite alright so I wont be too bothered, just use the rag to wipe the water splashed on floor near basin.
