What could occur to our floor in the absence of a readily available mop? Despite its utility, this valuable tool comes with a drawback: maintaining its cleanliness is nearly unattainable.
As time passes, the mop develops a grayish hue and an undesirable scent due to the accumulation of dirt and bacteria after each use.
Dust accumulates on the mop, and the constant exposure to moisture encourages the growth of bacteria that become resistant to elimination, even with the use of chemical substances.
The optimal way to maintain the cleanliness of your mop is to wash and thoroughly dry it, preferably in direct sunlight, to minimize the accumulation of bacteria. We will now detail the steps on how to achieve this.
You need a bucket, water, floor soap, white vinegar and the juice of one lemon.
Combine water, vinegar, and lemon juice in the bucket. Clean the mop thoroughly with water and floor soap, scrubbing until a substantial amount of foam is generated. Submerge the mop in the bucket and allow it to soak for three hours.
Rinse the mop and allow it to air dry in the sunlight. Once dried, it will be exceptionally clean, restored to its original color, and ready for use.
