Water
The mistake that a lot of people have been making is mopping the floor with warm water. Chances are you’ve been doing this as well, but it turns out that this is not the best way to mop your home. Anoesjka Imambaks, owner of cleaning service Maid at Home explains why: “When the water is warm, it’ll evaporate more quickly and that means that soap residue from the cleaning agent are left behind on the floor. This residue will cause streaks and will also cause the floor to become sticky. It’s much better to use cold water with just a little bit of all purpose cleaner.” Who would’ve thought? We’ve been doing it wrong every time!
Vinegar
Do you have a laminate floor? Then there’s an easy trick to make sure it’s clean and shiny again. All you need is some vinegar! White vinegar, or cleaning vinegar, is the best cleaning product when it comes to your laminate floors. If you use vinegar, you don’t have to worry about streaks, spots or grease on your floor. Add a splash of vinegar to a bucket water. Also make sure your mop isn’t too wet. An overly wet mop can make the laminate cause to bulge or swell.
