Cleaning & Organization: Mopping a slate floor

What is the best way to mop a slate floor? What cleaning solution should we use? We have slate tiles in the kitchen with concrete mortar. You can see from the pictures that the surfaces ...»
of the slate tiles are uneven. They are also porous (water dripped on them is absorbed). I sweep regularly, which isn't easy because of the uneven surfaces. I have mopped once with a Swiffer Wet Jet but I'm not sure whether that's OK to use repeatedly.

How to Keep Mold from Invading Your New Bathroom Renovation

Bathrooms are highly susceptible to mold growth due to the moisture created by bathtubs and faucets. So I'm sharing what materials we're using in our small renovation to preserve the ...»
indoor air quality.

We are using the following building materials (and feel free to comment):

-cement board for shower surround

-Redgard as a waterproofing membrane

-fiberglass faced wallboard panels

-fiberglass drywall joint tape

-setting type joint compound that dries in 45 minutes

Since the shower has no exterior walls we decided to forgo the vapor barrier over the studs. But if we needed one it would have been installed along with Roxul insulation.

My latest blog post discusses the reasons we chose these materials. You can click here for more details http://www.homerepairtutor.com/choose-the-ri...

I'd love to hear your feedback!!
