I want shiny floors and baseboards without scuff marks. What tools do I need?

Perhaps the biggest innovation in floor cleaning is the removable, washable mop sleeve, in microfiber or terry cloth. When it's too dirty to use, simply toss it in the washer and replace it with a fresh sleeve. Use it on wood, vinyl, or tile. Vacuum or sweep wood floors first, then damp-mop with an all-purpose cleaner.
