How to make mopping process a little easy

Maintaining a clean home is an art. For some, it is a routine and for some others, they need some motivation to make it happen. I am using Instagram as my motivation. It is the best decision I made to post my cleaning process there. It helps me to keep up with my daily cleaning chores.

We have hardwood floor in our home and it has to be mopped from time to time to keep it clean. But daily mopping may ruin the surface. So I mop it weekly once. I have been sticking to a schedule for doing it.

Here are some tips to make the mopping process a little easy

• Remove everything from the floor like mats, chairs, toys, etc.
• Vacuum or sweep the floor
• Keep a bucket filled with water to rinse the mop now and then.
• Use a mop that you are comfortable with.

Bonus tips for mopping

• Keep the bucket behind you while mopping to avoid spilling on a cleaned surface and for easy access.
• Add a few drops of dish soap to the water.
• I use a wringer mop and bucket system and I don’t have to touch the soapy and dirty water.
• Spot clean any spills immediately. This will make your weekly mopping easy.
• Pre-wet the dried spills in the kitchen and dining area by spraying some water + dish soap. It helps to mop them off the floor easily.

I do not like touching the water every time I have to rinse the mop. Also if my son asks for something or if he wakes up from his nap when am mopping I have to wash my hands thoroughly before I can attend to his needs. After I started using a wringer mop ( Amazon affiliate link ) it has become more comfortable for me to get the job done.
