Weekly Cleaning Routines: Floors Day

Cleaning all of your floors in one day can feel like a big undertaking, but don't worry! I'm here to help you out and make the process a little smoother. Maintaining clean floors is essential for a healthy home environment. You see, dirty floors can harbor dust mites, fleas, bacteria, and allergens that can cause respiratory issues. So, let's join forces and give those floors of ours a well-deserved shine! Here are some friendly tips to help you clean your floors effectively:

1. Sweep it up!

Before you grab that mop, grab a broom or a trusty vacuum cleaner and give your floors a good sweep. This will help get rid of any loose debris like dirt and crumbs. If you have pets, you might want to use a dust and pet dander attracting dust mop.

2. Take it one section at a time

No need to overwhelm yourself by trying to clean the entire floor at once. Instead, break it down into smaller sections. Start at one end of the room and gradually work your way towards the other end. This way, you won't miss any spots, and you won't have to tiptoe over the wet areas.

3. Choose your favorite mop

When it comes to mops, there are so many options out there, from steam mops to quick mops. Use the one that you enjoy using the most. It's all about finding the mop that suits your style. If you want to explore different floor mopping tools and techniques, check out this helpful guide here.

4. Don't go overboard with water

Don't go overboard with water While we're on the topic of mopping, remember not to saturate your floors with excessive water. Make sure to wring out your mop well. While we're on the topic of going overboard, let's talk about using Good Vibes All Purpose Cleaner. Using too much of it can create excessive suds that can be challenging to clean up. Instead, dilute your Good Vibes APC according to the instructions on the bottle. And in case you accidentally spill some concentrate on your floor, simply rinse it with a mixture of cold water and white vinegar until it's thoroughly cleaned. Trust, we have plenty of experience in this area.

5. Air them out or towel dry your floors

Once you've finished cleaning, let your floors air dry naturally or use a clean towel to give them a gentle pat dry. This will help prevent water damage and keep your floors looking fabulous.

In a nutshell, cleaning your floors doesn't have to be complicated, but it does require a bit of effort and patience. With these friendly tips, you'll be able to keep your floors clean and looking as good as new. The benefit is that clean floors actually make us feel amazing!
