I do love the autumn months, but I don't love the muddy paws and soggy school shoes that come with it. With an energetic Labrador needing regular walks and my children seemingly mud magnets on their way home from school, keeping my floors clean was becoming almost impossible. And trying to keep the house clean and tidy is difficult at the best of times, without reaching for the mop bucket every day.

Which is why I decided to take the advice of shoppers and snap up a Flash Power Spray Mop from Amazon.

The Flash Power Spray Mop Floor Cleaner Starter Kit comes with everything you need. The all-in-one spray system is ready to use straight from your cupboard - or whatever space you have to keep it in. A bottle of floor cleaner attaches to it and there's a battery operated spray button at the top of the handle which squirts the liquid out of two holes at the front of the mop.

It comes with some disposable pads to attach to the bottom of the mop, or you can use one of the reusable washable pads, which are brilliant as you can just stick them in the wash and use them again and again. It mov.
