well there was quite a bit of water so I ended up finding the scrubbing brush and scrubbing the kitchen floor, its not a large area,but had to pull out w/machine & dishwasher to look for leaks, emptied the filter of w/ machine and found a dirty big label with washing instructions stuck in the filter,so thats probably what caused the flood [ says she hopefully!] I am know knackered and my poor old knees will suffer, so you can call me an Essex scrubber from now on !
