Top Mopping related questions
The ideal frequency for mopping depends on how you use the space, local contaminants, and the amount of dust in the air. Most homes should be mopped at least once a fortnight to help reduce allergens and remove bacteria.
Mopping is suitable for most types of hard flooring. However, you should take special care with hardwood floors, especially when steam mopping. This is because excess moisture can soak into the exposed wood between the seams, which may cause the floorboards to warp.
When done correctly, mopping will keep your floors hygienic and fresh-smelling. If you need a deeper clean that goes beyond visible dirt, your Tasker can use an appropriate cleaning solution or a hot steam mop. Taskers should carefully maintain and regularly sanitise their equipment to provide the best clean.
The best type of mop depends on the area that needs cleaning and the type of flooring. For general household use, microfibre mops and cut-end mops are among the most common choices, both of which are used with a bucket of soapy water.
The cost of hiring a mopper in Cork will depend on the size and complexity of the job, materials needed, and the Tasker's experience level. Prices can vary quite a bit from one job to the next, so it's worth getting a few quotes before committing.

Cleaning Services
What does a mopping service include?
Mopping generally includes cleaning all the hard floor surfaces inside your home. Mopping methods and services can vary from cleaner to cleaner, but in general, here’s what you can expect:
Traditional mopping
This is the most common type of mopping that’s ideal for most floor conditions (even heavily soiled floors). The cleaner will use a mop and cleaning agent in a bucket to clean your floor. Depending on what type of floor you have - whether it’s tile, stone, concrete, or timber - your cleaner may use a different type of cleaning agent to ensure the best result without damaging your floors. After they arrive, your cleaner will first vacuum or sweep the floor to remove any loose debris. Next, they’ll mop the floors with a wet mop to remove any stains. They’ll finish up with a dry mop to minimise wet residue left on your floor and leave a sparkly clean finish.
Steam mopping
Steam mopping is ideal for maintenance cleaning or lightly soiled floors. That’s it’s best for sanitising, rather than removing large quantities of dirt and grime. Your cleaner will first make sure the floor is suitable for steam mopping. Floors without seals, such as exposed wood, are unsuitable for steam mopping as moisture can damage the surface. To prepare the floor, your cleaner will first remove any loose dirt and grit from the floor by vacuuming or sweeping. Next they’ll prepare the mop pads on the steamer, switch it on, and then steam mop all your hard floor surfaces. Steam mopped floors usually dry within a few minutes, but if there are any wet patches, your cleaner will mop them up with a dry towel.
One-off clean
One-off mopping services are popular for post-event cleanups or end-of-lease cleans. Depending on your needs, your cleaner will either mop or steam mop your floors. Your cleaner will discuss what type of floors you have and what areas you need to be cleaned prior to their arrival. They’ll turn up with the correct solutions and equipment to properly clean your floors. After a sweep or vacuum to remove dust, they’ll use either traditional mopping or steam mopping to clean your floors, depending on your floor type.
Regular clean
You can hire a cleaner to mop your floors on a regular basis (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly) so that your floors are always in great condition. Your cleaner may alternate between regular mopping and steam mopping to give you the benefits of both, depending on your floor type. Note that regular steam cleaning isn’t ideal for hardwood floors as the steam can penetrate the seams of the floorboards where the wood is exposed. So, for hardwood floors, the cleaner may just mop your floors the traditional way.
