Brick Floors

10 years ago

We have brick floors in our house that we have lived in for 6 years. The floors were put in over 30 years ago. I'm wondering if there is an easier way to clean these dang floors. (we have a Saint Bernard and two cats.)

What I end up doing is getting on my hands and knees and using Soft Scrub with Bleach. I love the way it looks after, but man does it take forever and really kill my knees and back.

Here you can see before/after cleaning.
