I have to clean a tile kitchen floor that (not so recently) was spilled on with beer and is now just kind of a sort-of-sticky, dirty looking surface. I tried swiffer wet mopping it, but i think it needs a harder scrub. Anything in particular I should use for this? Thanks!

I am on record as not a fan of wet Swiffers. They make everything sticky and leave a film. I have a Shark steam mop, which I love because it works great and doesn’t use cleaners, just steam, which is awesome since I have dogs, but it’s a little bit of an investment (mine was about $50). I’d recommend mopping with water as hot as you can get it and some all-purpose cleaner, like Lysol concentrate or Pine-Sol. Something like that.

I actually prefer to use boiling hot water (this doesn’t work so great for sponge mops though, it usually melts the glue that holds the sponge on). I use my electric kettle to fill up my mop bucket, so it takes a good 3 or 4 times to fill.

Vinegar is awesome for cutting through nasty messes like that, just for the record. :D

Vinegar was the only thing that helped the sticky in my bathroom.

This person needs Armstrong Floor Cleaner. My mother & I both swear by it, in her case for over thirty years. And I can personally attest that it cuts through not-recently-spilled alcohol like no other (seriously, it looks like I retiled my kitchen).
