Here's my tip for keeping your floors clean: Have your children and/or husband spill sticky items on the floor several times a day. What works well in our house is yogurt, icing, and cherry coke. Then make sure that someone steps in the sticky item and tracks it all over your floors. Or better yet, as in the case of the cherry coke, make sure it drips from one side of the kitchen to the other. This will force you to mop several times daily ensuring that your floors will be clean enough to eat off. Because that's where all the food ends up anyway.

The Sisters and I mastered this when we were younger. My mom would get so mad at us, because she cleaned the floor daily! Now my dad does it, and he's in his mid-50s!
Add four cats to the mix and your number of times cleaning the floor increases. I have a love hate relationship with my shark steam mop. I love it that it's handy, I hate that I need to use it so much.
Hmm, we have a dog for that. Any food items that get spilled get licked up by our automatic floor washers. It's the muddy paws and leaves brought in on hairy doggy legs that I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of - without much effort on MY part of course!
When I was growing up and we'd have the youth group over for a devo or something, inevitably someone would spill something, it would get wiped up and my mom would ALWAYS say, "Great - now I have to wash the REST of it because now we have a clean spot!"
I agree that dogs are great for cleaning up big messes. However, I often wish that the boys could just eat out of a trough on the floor. I clean it so much and the food always ends up there anyway.
