tiled floor cleaning machine?

[thinfourth2]

All of our lower floor is either tiled or wooden floors.

We have 3 large dogs

We live in the middle of farmland

The dogs love digging

The dogs love mud

The dogs won't wipe their feet.

I'm sick of mopping the floor

Is there a domestic sized machine for cleaning tiled floors?

How about a Scooba?

That is going to bring out the prey instinct in the mildest mannered dog
But I guess it would work well as I have a flat surface steamer that I use on tile. I fill it with distilled.
But for regular cleaning we use a dry swifter mop. (There is also a wet swifter), I am not sure the dry swifter would work for you though as I only have one small dog with no undercoat and I still use 3 cleaning sheets for a 20 x 25 room. Gets the floor quite clean.

Swifter mop is cheap to buy as they make their money on the boxes of cleaning sheets, so you could give it a try w/o breaking the bank.

If I use my steamer I still have to "swifter" it first.

The with our 3 dogs

We have 2 mastiffs and a lab cross.

The young mastiff would eat it, the older mastiff would be terrified and the lab cross would destroy it with dog hairs and quite frankly i don't think it could cope with the industrial amounts of mud that dogs etc drag in.

Add in we often leave the door open in the summer the thing would be last seen heading into the sunset while valiantly washing a field
