I want to say that i had to do it one time after another in short period of time. For example I had to clean the floor in the shop three times, one after another, because it had been so dirty that the appropriate effect was achieved after third time.
You could say, "I had to clean the floor three times in a row to get all the dirt off" as it can mean, as you say, one after another in a short space of time.
As I see I mistook two words "raw" and "row" and this caused that you couldn't understand my meaning at the begining. Sorry for that.
Thanks for this answer.
