Just use a swifter mop for easy use and clean up. Done.

I don’t want to make that much trash

I use a reusable microfiber cloth on the swiffer. I rinse out in the sink with hot water while mopping and wash the cloth when done. I have a spray bottle with vinegar and water that I spray on the floor. No trash, no bucket of water, rain floors. Win-win!

Sink, I don't want debris going into the plumbing. Sinks can be cleaned.

Toilet, bath sink, yard, all is fine. I wouldn't do it in kitchen but if no other option, would clean and disinfect really well.

And I was converted to the spin mop just a few weeks ago after years of using a Swiffer WetJet an a Bona thing. I thought I was cleaning. The spin mop bucket is awesome. I got a new version that keeps the "to be used" water separate from the rinse water.

Me too!!! I am obsessed with mopping now, and hadn’t done it before (have cleaners come every 2 weeks). I dump the water in the kitchen sink, then wipe it down with a Clorox wipe.

People are mopping a room with a sink or toilet, and then carrying the bucket of water up and down stairs to a different floor to dump it?

If I mop the kitchen, then I dump it in the kitchen sink. If I mop the bathroom, then I dump it in the toilet (because I don't have to lift the bucket as high). If I mop the laundry room . . . I am sure you see a pattern.

The kitchen sink? That is nasty.

It doesn't matter unless you're consuming food you put in that sink right after dumping dirty floor water in it. Presumably you're cleaning your toilet bowl regularly, and rinsing that sink after dumping that water.

Side note: I had my students conduct an experiment where they had to collect samples from the building's drinking fountains and toilet bowls and try to culture them on petri dishes. The toilet bowl water was always the one that yielded fewer colonies of bacteria...

outside

I dump it in the toilet because if it spatters, it’s easier to clean. Why would I want mess spattering all over my kitchen?

I’ve always dumped it outside.

But gallons of gross vinegar water is better?

Obviously yes?

This! I am not understanding he kitchen sink concern. I use swiffer, not a mop bucket, as needed between cleaning people visits. No idea what my cleaning people do/

What's wrong with vinegar water? it's non toxic, what's the problem.

Bathtub, sink, wherever there's a drain really.
