Two Cleaning Questions

Barneso

1) We have vinyl couches and I'm wondering what would be the best way to clean them?

2) If I use Pine-Sol or Mr. Clean to mop my floors, am I supposed to be rinsing?  I've never done that before...

 

Thanks very much.

1) I would think you could just wipe them down with a wet rag, no?

2) I never rinse. I use vinegar/water solution for my floors and my cleaning ladies use Murphy's oil. They don't rinse, but they will wipe the floors dry after they mop.

I've noticed Pine Sol leaves a serious film on anything I clean it with so I'd be inclined to rinse it a bit with a wet mop.  I use Murphy's Oil on my (wood) floors.

i use fabuloso which dosnt require rinsing. and no clue on the couches.

not sure about the rinsing- i would think not.

I don't use either one because they are not antibacterial cleaners. I use liquid lysol to mop with- in the kitchen and bathrooms.

I never even though about whether pine-sol was antibacterial.  I'll look for the Lysol brand next time I buy... thanks!

yeah- just something to think about especially since you will have a LO crawling around.

The couches you could use a mixture of soap and water to wipe them down with. 

Floors: I use Mr Clean(antibacterial lemon scent) and I don't rinse.

I just use vinegar and water on the floors and don't rinse.

Thanks everybody!

For the vinyl couches, go to the dollar store and buy that stuff called "Awesome".  My best friend's DH worked at a car detail shop and said HANDS DOWN that stuff was their secret weapon.  I've never rinsed my floors after mopping.  I can't even begin to imagine how you'd even do that.
