One woman’s amazing trick for sparkling clean floors without the constant use of dirty water for mopping. An experienced woman who regularly shares cleaning tips on TikTok has revealed an “amazing” trick that will help you never wash floors with dirty water again.
If you are cleaning a particularly dirty floor, you will notice how quickly the water in the bucket gets dirty and if you keep dipping the mop in it, you will only spread the dirt on the floor. The alternative is to change the water and add detergent to keep it clean, but this is not only time consuming but also expensive.
It’s worth thinking about alternatives that can save you money and time
One woman shared an ‘amazing’ cleansing method, thanks to which your floor will be sparkling clean every time. Samina Iltaf, who on her TikTok page @samina_iltaf posts cleaning tips and reviews for her 33.4k followers, shared a video showing off this nifty trick.
A simple act that too few of us undertake
“Instead of mixing the mop with dirty water after each use, I used a small bucket filled with warm, clean water and floor cleaner.”
Normally, the excess dirty water would fall right into the bucket and you would have to submerge the mop back into the dirty water.
- But instead, the woman placed a separate bucket of clean water inside the larger bucket. And it basically separated the dirty water from the clean.
It’s so simple it’s shocking how few people came up with this idea.
After mopping the floor, don’t forget to wash the mop as well. Rinsing alone is not enough
- When the floor is well mopped, rinse off the dirty water left on the mop and wash it thoroughly, or you can pour boiling water over it.
You will avoid the unpleasant smell, which we associate with a dirty rag on the floor.
- You can also always wash the mop in the washing machine with vinegar.
