Dear Teachers,

A. I often clean the floor at 6:30 AM.

B. I often mop the floor at 6:30 AM.

- Are the same meaning? and which one is the most common?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

 Stevenukd.

Both are fine. Sentence B specifies how you clean the floor (with a mop), whereas sentence A leaves the method open to other options.

Yes, you could use a vacuum-cleaner at A.
