Mommy's little helpers

Ellie and Gracelyn are getting so good at helping me keep the house clean!  Take a look....

Ellie couldn't let Gracelyn have all the fun so she came to join in.

Gracelyn cleaning the windows.  If you look closely you can actually see the "cleaner" running down the window right about where her mouth would touch the window when she was standing up.

Ellie cleaning the floor with her tummy.  (Ellie has started crawling on her hands and knees sometimes, but she still prefers staying on her tummy and pulling with her elbows.)

Ok, now I need some help from you.  I have never been what you would call a "neat-freak," but now that I have four little hands constantly touching my floor I feel I need to keep this place pretty clean.  The only problem is that I  have also become quite cautious, not only about the germs that get on those little hands, but also about chemicals they might pick up from the floor.  I have been hesitant to use any kind of cleaner, but I don't feel like just using water really gets things very clean.  That is where you come in.  If you have any great suggestions or if you have done research about this please, please leave me a comment.  Any ideas are welcome.  Let me know what you do to keep that floor spic-n-span!
