oh my gosh yes! I use micro fiber cloth, it is about size of a short dishtowel, which I guess would work too. I have a dishpan of water and Mr. Clean, not too much, micro fiber does not need it. Wring out and tie the front two corners over my toes. I bring the back two up over my ankle and tie. Then I go along the cabinet edges, with a wide sweep I go side ways and circles in sections. When that one is dirty I have a second one to use. Through them in the washer with hot water Borax no softener.
I also use a swifter dry and wet wipes, and sit in my computer chair and slid around. I will never forget when I came up with this idea. My grandson decided to dump my entire bucket of water over the floor. I caught it at 2/3 empty....well he picked up the bucket as I had bath towels wiping across my floor and dumped the rest of it out 
If that was not bad enough, when his mom and I got done cleaning it up, he spilt an entire 16 oz glass of soda off the counter onto the floor. 
I saw how wonderful the micro fiber worked and just thought I can do this to give a good mopping.
He is a michievious little man, practicle joker just like Aunt Katie.
his mom was giving him big hugs and he said Mommy your breaking me to pieces. LOL
New thing, I have paper towels with a bottle of water and vinegar in the bathroom. Every day I spray and wipe the sink and spray and swish the toilet. Before I could not get motivated as it was too much to do on a weekly or monthly basis.
There are wipes in there for the family too. They Lysol dispenser.
Another trick, I just work for 15 minutes in a long over due area. I will set the timer so I don't over due it. I have decluttered counter tops, folded laundry, got rid of piles of junk mail. Just a small start, but doing in tiny spurts has helped. One of my friends has done FlyLady.com and gave me some ideas and the link to read.
I had can't have anyone over syndrome....Depression is difficult time to get focus on areas that tend to collect or are neglected. So the 15 minutes at a time is doable.
