Should I mop my kitchen floor with Pine-Sol or bleach?

I'm about to mop my kitchen floor. Should I do it with a water+bleach mixture, or a water+Pine-Sol mixture? It's a linoleum floor.

I don't think bleech is good. Amonia maybe (diluted w/ water) but Bleech seems like a bad idea. I'd therefore go w/ Pinesol based on the two choices.

Recommendation for floor cleaning from the queen of clean (book author) is a mixture of Borax (laundry detergent) and Amonia and water. Works well for us.

I usually use Pine-sol.. but if its really filthy i whip out Amonia. Just make sure you have plenty of ventilation.. and DONT mix them.. but you knew that already :)

Yeah, it's warm enough here (in Ann Arbor! :Q) to have all the windows open, so ventilation isn't a problem. However, Pine-Sol smells better, so I think I'll use that.

I use comet on my kitchen floors. Nothing beats a good scrubbing.

Teh goggles!

Anyway, I just finished mopping with Pine-Sol. It's a small kitchen, so it didn't take too long.
