Cleaning floors can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. With the right tools and techniques, you can keep your floors looking spotless and sparkling. Vacuuming, dusting, and wiping with a slightly damp mop are all effective ways to clean floors. However, never use soap-based detergents or polishing wax, as these can damage the floor.
To remove marks and stains, use a diluted solution of water and vinegar. For a deep clean, mix 6 to 7 drops of a mild detergent with a gallon of warm or hot water. Use the mixture to moisten a mop and clean the floor in sections. Make sure the mop is damp and doesn't leak, as stagnant water can damage the linoleum.
Once you have cleaned the mop, replace the cleaning solution with cold water, rinse the mop and re-scrub the floors with only water to remove any soap residue. Finally, use a towel or cleaning cloth to dry clean floors. For unsealed floors, you should use a specialized unsealed floor cleaner. Do some research online or call your local hardware store to ask what they recommend.
It's important to be careful when cleaning hardwood floors; using the wrong cleaning product or detergent on the floor could cause irreparable damage. When it comes to a pet-related stain, you'll want to use the right type of product. If you see a resulting stain, the floor is likely not sealed and you should not use water to clean it, as this can cause the wood to swell and warp. To make your cleaning routine easier and cleaner, make sure to squeeze out every last drop of cleaning solution from your mop before storing it away. Start cleaning a corner of the room and return to an exit to avoid stepping on the area you just cleaned.
Finally, read labels before cleaning your floors so that you know which products are safe for your particular type of floor.
