We have hard ceramic floors in our kitchen is there a good device easier
than mop and water to clean them with Thanks E

I have an upright cleaner manufactured by Vax which works pretty well
and is easy to fill and use. Basically, it is like a Wet/Dry cleaner
on a stick. I don't think that this model is made any more and it
doesn't appear on their web site either. However, Bissell seem to
make similar product.

At one point (when we had carpets) I had one of the Vax carpet cleaners
- like a wet/dry cleaner with shampoo/water in the top. It was
effective on carpets and hard floors as well. The trouble was that it
was quite a lot of work to get the thing out, set it up, clean it and
put it away again. For a kitchen floor only application, it would be
too much of a shag IMO. On the upright one, the combined tank
delivers the cleaing solution and collects the dirty water in a
different section. It can be lifted away and run under the tap to
clean it.
