[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I have a bunch of kids and the bathroom gets filthy. No, they don't shit on the floor but still. I also have a baby that spends plenty of time on the floor. Just wondering how other people do this. If the mop gets sanitized after each use I guess it's fine. If not - different mops.[b] Because I'm one of those crazy people who prefer not to have bathroom germs on my kitchen floor[/b]. [/quote]

But people use the bathroom and then walk through the house.  Whatever is on the bathroom floor is on the bottom of their feet and gets carried through the house.[/quote]

Right, that's why we clean the bathroom floor sometimes. Duh.[/quote]

NP here.  Yes, but the point of this is that unless you clean the bathroom floor after every individual use of the bathroom, flushing the toilet will spread amounts of spray from the toilet.  Over the course of the day as it is used, this will be on the floor, people will walk on it in the bathroom, then walk on it throughout the house.  Anything you are worried about on the bathroom floor will spread pretty constantly.

I just use a disinfectant cleaner in the mop bucket and make sure to soak the mop head in disinfectant cleaner between uses.  You sound like a very OCD germaphone if you worry so much about the dirt on your bathroom floor infecting your kitchen floor because you use the same mop.  I've actually never heard of a cleaning service that kept more that used more than one mop, unless there were multiple people and they each carried a mop to be more time efficient rahter than sharing a mop.  But the 2-3 person crews that have cleaned my house usually bring one mop and one person goes around and does all the mopping while others do other tasks.[/quote]

I see your point but I wouldn't call it useless to clean. And why make matters worse by dragging the germs down to the kitchen myself with the mop...?[/quote]
