We have "rough textured" kitchen floor tiles that I have cleaned using either bucket, cloth or floor wipes. I have over the past years tried different mops etc. Nothing has cleaned the floor to my standard. We have 4 dogs so you can imagine that it needs cleaned often. Even after I'd cleaned it twice over I would use a wipe to see how clean it was & there would still be dirt on it.
Following hip replacement surgery at the end of 2025 I decided that I would not be back on my hands & knees again to clean the floor. This is when I started reviewing different mops & floor cleaners. I decided on the tineco due to the positive reviews but was still sceptical due to the type of tiles we have. Smooth tiles do usually clean a lot easier.
Well, I can say what a game changer!!! No more crawling on my hands & knees. It is really amazing & cleans it so well. The first time I used it I after i finished i did the test where I wiped a section with a floor wipe. It was spotless. I can't recommend it enough. Yes you have to empty the dirty water & wipe it down when finished but so worth it. The self cleaning function is brilliant. Overall simple to use. I hope it lasts for years to come
