Typically, the floor is very easy to get dirty, so it needs to be cleaned every day.

In fact, floor cleaning also requires skills, if you don’t know how to do it, it will take more time and effort. In this article, we will guide you with a small tip that makes the floor quickly clean and is very easy to implement.

White vinegar will help disinfect the floor well, the dirt will also be softened and easily peeled off, baking soda also has strong disinfecting ability and can prevent bacteria from breeding. Compared to the cleaning products on the market, using baking soda and vinegar to clean the floor is very safe and effective. If there are young children in the house, this is a great choice.

2. Add laundry detergent and salt

The floor is wet immediately after it is cleaned, even if you use a dry mop to wipe it multiple times, it is not easy to dry. Moreover, the dirt and fibers on the mop will be retained on the floor, and your repeated walking to clean the floor will leave footprints on it.

At this time, you just need to add a little laundry detergent and salt to the bucket in a 1:2 ratio to rinse the mop, then pour a suitable amount of warm water into it and stir well. Put the mop in the bucket to rinse it thoroughly and wring it dry before using it to clean the floor. Laundry water has the ability to detoxify, strong disinfection and leaves a long-lasting fragrance. Salt helps the water on the floor evaporate faster, helping the floor dry easily after cleaning.

3. Use rice water

Rice water is a natural detoxifying product, which contains many nutrients so it is also used for watering plants, washing hair, washing face… Rice water has a high cleaning ability, and after cleaning, there is no musty smell like when using clean water. This is also a very environmentally friendly and practical method, with a light rice fragrance. However, don’t forget to wipe the floor with a damp cloth to remove the rice starch layer, otherwise, the rice starch will remain and create white streaks on the floor.

4. Add fabric softener

Normally, when we clean the floor, static electricity may occur. During the cleaning process, there will be a lot of lint sticking to the floor, so even after cleaning, there is still dirt clinging to it. At this time, you can add an appropriate amount of fabric softener to the washing machine to reduce the friction of the mop fibers and prevent static electricity. In addition, some active substances in the fabric softener can form a protective film on the floor, helping to prevent dust from sticking easily.

Note to keep the floor clean

– Sweep away dirt and insect carcasses regularly to avoid long-term dirt accumulation, which makes cleaning difficult.

– It is recommended to wipe the floor with clean water before using cleaning solutions to easily remove stains.
