Will you sweep first before you mop the floor?

Hi sasa, I usually would get the floor swept cleanly before mopping it. It’s really annoying to see all those tiny and disgusting stuffs stick on the mop. You know I have to take the trouble to get rid of them while washing the mop. I hate to remove the fallen hair on it the most Most of the time, I prefer to clean the floor with the vacuum cleaner. It will absorb the dust, tiny stuffs as well as the fallen hair on the floor thoroughly. It’s more convenient to use the vacuum instead of a broom to do the floor sweeping. All the dust and other disgusting stuffs could hardly find on both the broom and mop after vacuuming Happy posting

Hello, Sasalove, we mop our floor several days in a day, as my son like crawling and playing on the floor, we have to keep the floor clean. Sometimes, we sweep the floor before mop it, but quite often we mop it directly, it depends on the dirtiness of our floor. Thanks for your question and wish you a nice day.

I think the logical order is to sweep away all the dirt first before mopping the floor. I think if you mop without sweeping then you may end up still having dirt on the floor albeit a shiny floor. But if you have a carpet or rug then using the vacuum cleaner is preferred.

I vacuum the carpets (rooms) and sweep the floor of the rest of the house.) I only mop it if it´s worth it. I have floating floor in living and diningsg area so it´s easy. I don´t do it every day either. I live alone. And the dog does not get inside the house.

Hello i sweep first then mop, if not I don't feel like the floor is clean mopping with sweeping just pushes the dust around which means its still there waiting to rear its ugly heads lol, I need to do this right now, grrr i keep putting it off to tired to even start Thank you.

I was always taught to sweep first before mopping the floor. That way you wouldn't be mopping your crumbs across the floor. Secondly, my mother-in-law would have a fit if she knew someone mopped the floor without sweeping first!

Hi, sasalove. I always sweep the floor before I would mop it. Sweeping gets most of the dirt, and debris off of the floor. When I go to mop, the floor will be free of crumbs and food particles. It makes the mop glide on the floor easily. Having dirt on the floor without sweeping, keeps me more busier mopping.

Hi, I usually sweep the floor before moping, or else the dust, hair and other debris will stick to the mop, and makes it so much harder to clean.

I sweep, swiffer, then mop. Sometimes, I vacuum, then swiffer, then mop. You would really be surprised at what is left behind when you sweep or vacuum that a swiffer will pick up.

I always sweep or vaccum then mop. Mopping with a little dirt on the floor is not doing a good job of mopping. It will be gritty or just remain dirty I think.

I will definitely sweep first before I start to mop the floor to avoid making all corners dirty instead.

Yes I always sweep the floor before I mop. Sweeping gets most of the dirt up of the floor even if just a little. It is the way I was taught to clean the floor.

I usually sweep the floor first to get rid of the dirt after that would I only mop the floor.. it's hard to mop when there's a lot of dirt in the floor, and you constantly stop to pick up something that cannot be cleaned by your mop.

I seldom do cleaning because I am a man who spends more time in office,I think it's better to sweep first then mop the floor,buf for the houses whose floor is padded with carpets,it's better to use vacuum cleaners,I was a test enginer and I tested many famous brand cleaners in the world such as Hoover,Dyson,Bissell,Royal,TTI floor care,Ryobi.....

Yes, I’ll always sweep the floor before mopping it. As it is, I do all the household chores myself so mopping is not done daily. I can mop the floors maybe twice or thrice a week and since I live right beside the main road, there’s a lot of traffic flowing and the house can become real dusty pretty fast. Sweeping the floor clears the fine layers of dust on the floor and then mopping it, makes the floor more clean.

Yeah, thats the most logical thing to do. I sweep the floor first so that dirt will no longer be stuck on the mop because of course the mop is wet.

hello, I always sweep first before I mop. well, I dont know how much dirt in my bed room or living room... but before I mop, then I Have to sweep first. However, in my house is full of carpet so I just vacuum it... easy huh

Hello! It is my practice to sweep the floor always before mopping. Ofcourse I like to mop immediately after sweeping so that whatever dirt is leftover will come clean. It is an ordeal ofcourse to do both, but ultimately you get the best results. Thanks Kalyani

My mom taught me that I should sweep the floor before mopping it, as mopping first will, at times, merely scatter the dust. There are also some dirt that couldn't be mopped up, and should be swept. Even in my room, I make it a habit to sweep the floor first before mopping or wiping it with a wet cloth. :)

Mopping the floor before sweeping is what i'm doing everyday.Do you wanna know the reason why I did this?My main good reason is that the dust must be taken first before the solid particles coz u know the dust will spread everywhereif you will do the other way around.
