1. Add One Spoon of Washing Soda
A tablespoon of washing soda dissolved in a bucket of warm water can help loosen grease and everyday grime.
It also helps reduce the residue that sometimes causes floors to become sticky after mopping.
2. Don’t Use Too Much Floor Cleaner
More isn’t better.
Using excessive cleaner often leaves a film that actually attracts dirt.

Always follow the dilution instructions on the label.
3. Sweep or Vacuum First
Mopping loose dust simply spreads it around.
Always remove dirt, crumbs, and pet hair before introducing water.
4. Change Dirty Mop Water
Cleaning with gray, dirty water only redistributes grime.
If the water becomes cloudy, empty the bucket and refill it with clean water.
