I'm seeing Liquid Gold.
Do you guys really like it? I tried it once. A few people I know weren't impressed. They said it left a sticky film. I thought it had a strong smell.

John, every HOOVER in my house is treated to only the FINEST genuine HOOVER bags, my favorite is Genuine Hoover Allergen, that bag can compete with some of these new-fangled synthetic bags!
Lionkcommander, LOL I run generic F&G bags from the 80s in my one of my Eurekas!

You are right!
That bag can stand up to all of them.
And, it does.
Because it was made to.
Because it's a Hoover.

My arsenal is everchanging. I'm always trying different chemicals. Pledge is my wood dusting spray. Many times it is the blue Multi- Surface trigger spray and other times it is the Extra Moisturizing. Glass Plus or a flavored Disinfecting Windex for mirrors, glass and other things. Lysol Cling for toilet bowls, Armstrong Floor Cleaner, Mr. Clean Gain Berry scent for random things. Disinfecting sprays are everchanging. Mr. Clean Professional Bathroom Disinfectant line is the best but it is discontinued. Tilex Disinfecting Bathroom Cleaner and Lysol Disinfecting cleaners are good. Lysol keeps changing their scent though and some formulas don't work as well as others. Like the Berry one was very good and so was orange. The Lysol Lemon has been inconsistent. I can't do much of anything with Lavendar and avoid Lavendar or flowery scents. Bon Ami has been a help lately for oven, stove and other miscellaneous things-- Thanks John!!!
I'm a sponge mop person all the way!!! I can wash floors hands and knee but prefer a Mop so much more!!! So many more places I'm willing to stuff and squeeze the mop into rather than my fingers with or with out gloves on!! Also better on my knees to stand up and mop rather than be down on all fours! The Quickie Automatic Wringer mop has been in use in my household every since I can remember!
Vacuum cleaner wise most often it is a Hoover PowerMax or Hoover Windtunnel canister for a deep cleaner and quick spots on bare floors since brush roll can be turned off. But the Hoover Celebrity II Elite runs QUITE often as a daily driver.
For Air Cleaning we have a Rexair Rainmate and Rainbow E2 that run 24/7/365 cleaning our air. The Rainbow does quite well with spills, dog accidents as well or every once in a while we put power nozzle on it and do carpets.
Carpet shampooing is our Hoover SteamVac Widepath!

WE were always "hands and knees" people here.
"Mummy" would never allow us to use a mop. But, tons of people do. I felt a little funny buying even a steam mop (HOOVER, of course). She also used to paste wax the hardwood floors on here hands and knees, follwed by a HOOVER polisher. Now that the floors have all been refinshed, there really is no need to do any of that anymore.
But, if I want to.....................I can.

Same here
My mom said mops are for lazy people with dirty homes, funny thing is most of my friends whose parents used moms did not have as clean of floors as ours. I think when your on your hand and knees your more inclined to get all the books and crannies.

Just gave the house an uber thorough going through with the Rainbow for all the bare floors and above floor detail cleaning and the Dyson DC28 AirMuscle for the rugs.
(I am NOT, NOT, NOT trying to start yet ANOTHER Dyson battle. I am just sharing my cleaning regiment!)
For the mopping of the bare floors, I have a commercial mop bucket that I fill with scalding hot water, so that the mop is actually steaming when it gets wrung out. I find that this leaves the floors streak free and they dry within a minute or so. I also use a commercial floor cleaner called 'Emerald'. It's made by a company called MPC Maintenance Solutions.
The restrooms get cleaned with another commercial cleaning agent, Pro-Link "Bright n Fresh". It's a fantastic non acidic cleaner that really cuts through soap scum and other residue.
Woodwork, glass, mirrors, and most other surfaces get cleaned with a bucket of hot water, Parsons Sudsy Ammonia, and white lint free cloths, and a squeegee for the windows, of course.

My cleaning routine is pretty simple just vacuum is my motto! I have wall to wall carpet which gets vacuumed mainly with the vacuum I’m in the mood to use. The ceramic tile in both bathrooms gets cleaned with either my Hoover Floormate or Floor-A-Matic, which are great! No more mops! I’m not ashamed to admit that I use cheap cleaning products or buy my cleaning products at estate sales. I do however splurge on Pledge multi-surface cleaner. It’s great because Pledge multi-surface can clean a variety of surfaces without having to switch cleaners.
I see that many of us use Murphy oil soap. My mom really enjoys going over her wood cabinets with Murphy oil soap. Since I have all wood cabinets and dark wood paneling (hope to change that at some point) in the Den I do the same.
I was told that Pledge and other spray wood cleaners are using more water than oil and real wood needs oil to keep it from drying out.
One more thing, I can’t stand a dirty bathroom. Mine gets wiped down at least twice a week or more.

I use liquid Old English for wood furniture after dusting with the Lux or Compact
Do you EVER see a professional cleaner or janitor working a floor on their hands&knees?I NEVER have!!!!This is not practical for folks with back problems or large floor areas to do.
That is true.
I'd never bash anyone for doing it. We just never did it.
Pros also cover large areas and they have to get it done in the least amount of time.

Just did the paste wax on the hardwood floors here, twice, first with stain in the wax. Two days now can't really move much, the hands and knees are for sure not for people with back trouble, but someone needed to do it, family here tomorrow! Yikes.
Wow!!!
Your place probably looks like a bowling alley.
Perhaps I should buff something today... with a nice HOOVER polisher.
You've inspired me.

I also like to do a 'commercial-style' cleaning. I use mostly hotel-grade cleaners (Odor Bane & Elky-Pro mostly). I like Odor Bane because I can clean most any surface & mop with it too. All of my mahogany judge's paneling gets a Murphy's Oil Soap wash down then a Liquid Gold wipe down (Liquid Gold has a glossier finish than Pledge). I also have a commercial fogging machine for sanitizing & odors. I've also got a Shark steam mop & a 50s Hoover scrubber/polisher for hard surfaces. I hope to get my Sanitaire finished before Christmas so I can do a deep cleaning with it. I'm also getting a MinuteMan V14 Pro from a friend to use for that too, that will be my first vac in a long time that actually has onboard attachments lol.

Fresh bags all over.
I never understood all the fuss about changing C bags. I always change this cleaner on Dec 1. Other times too, but always Dec 1.
