Cleaning the house is always a “holiday”. In a figurative sense, of course. This procedure takes a whole day, and after a few days it becomes dirty again. In a word, the work is thankless, but necessary. Well, the dirtiest and most difficult surface to clean is the floor. Therefore, many housewives often face the question of how to wash the floor so that there are no stains on it, so that it sparkles and does not get dirty. The latter is, of course, difficult to accomplish: all people need is to fly. But on the first two points, some recommendations can be given.
General rules
Before you decide to wash the surfaces you walk on, you need to familiarize yourself with general rules for this manipulation. These rules apply to all types of floors. Regardless of how you plan to wash the floor, with your hands or with a mop, you must first remove all objects that you can from the surface. This way, the area will be free, and cleaning will become much easier.
It is very important to clean the floors with a broom before cleaning. Thin twigs will help pull dust out of far corners and crevices. You just need to work with a slightly wet broom: in a bucket of water, slightly moisten the tips of the rods, then lightly tap on the edge of the bucket to shake off excess droplets.
Now you can start cleaning the floors. This is done from the most distant corner of the room, gradually moving towards the exit. These are general recommendations, and now let’s figure out how to use a mop, which detergents are suitable for which types of surfaces, and how to make surfaces clean without using a mop.
Type of floor and rules for cleaning it
Modern floor coverings can be made of laminate, they can be parquet, they can also be covered with linoleum and tiles, unpainted and painted wood. Every type of floor needs special means for cleaning and has its own specific processing.
Laminate flooring can only be washed once a year. The rest of the time, just wipe it with a damp cloth dipped in soapy water.
Parquet flooring is cleaned in the same way as laminate, only after wet wiping it should be rubbed with mastic.
You can completely wash the floor with soap only if it is covered with linoleum. The water should be warm, and cleaning should be done regularly.
Every day you can wash wooden ones. It is especially important to do this in the hallway and kitchen, where they get dirty the most. Such coatings are not afraid of moisture. Stains can be removed with ammonia.
If your home has a wooden floor, but not painted, then you are allowed to wash it only once a week. To do this, use hot water and soap. Then you need to rinse the coating well and wipe it with a dry cloth.
The easiest to clean floors are tiled floors. You can even wipe them daily with a damp cloth.
Choosing a detergent
It is incredibly important to choose the right floor cleaner. Available on the market today great amount There are various means for cleaning floor surfaces, but there is a product for each type of coating. So, for parquet it is necessary to choose a delicate composition that will not damage the floor.
Cleaners that contain alcohol are not suitable for linoleum. Powdered cleaning products are also not recommended. Such concentrates will darken the coating or leave whitish streaks.
Floor tiles should not be cleaned with liquid soap. It is better to rub a little laundry soap into the water or find a detergent containing acid. This product will remove dirt and destroy germs.
For laminate flooring, try to buy a detergent with a neutral pH level. Abrasive substances must not be used to clean floor coverings made of this type of material.
Washing with a mop
How to wash the floors at home, with a mop or with your hands, is up to each housewife to decide for herself. If you need to do everything quickly, then a mop is, of course, better. But if, at the same time as cleaning, you also want to do exercises, then you should work with your hands. But if you decide to use only a mop, then you should first familiarize yourself with modern types this tool. In stores you can find the following mops:
- rope;
- butterfly mops;
- with microfiber:
- with sponge;
- steam;
- flat.
Which product to choose is also up to the user. The only important thing here is that the mop is as comfortable as possible for you.
Now let's look at how to properly handle this simple tool. The mop needs to be thoroughly moistened in water and squeezed a little for the first time. Wash the floors, as mentioned above, from the far corner of the room to its exit. From time to time the mop needs to be re-wetted with water. In heavily soiled areas, you need to mop more thoroughly, pressing lightly.
When mopping rough tiles or other textured flooring, use a mop motion as if you were drawing a figure eight. Thanks to this, you will perfectly wash away dirt from the floor.
When everything is done, you need to rinse in clean water mop, wring it out and set it to dry upside down.
Washing floors by hand
Many housewives are interested in the answer to the question of how to wash the floor with their hands. Everything is very simple here: choose a suitable rag and cleaning product. Add cleaning liquid to a bucket of water and dip a rag into it. Soak it well and squeeze it out. Now, just as in the case of a mop, you need to wash the coating from the far corner to the middle of the room. Rinse the rag, wring it out and wash the second half of the room. If necessary, wipe the washed surface with a dry cloth.
Which rag is better?
We have already found out which floor detergent to choose. Now we have to figure out which rag is best for washing floor coverings by hand. Previously, old T-shirts and T-shirts were used for this purpose. Today, in stores there are entire departments in which all kinds of rags are presented. Let's look at their most popular types.
Viscose fabric. This material perfectly absorbs and retains moisture. But when it gets wet, it loses its strength. In addition, twisting and hot water are contraindicated for him. Therefore, it is better to purchase not natural viscose, but a rag made of viscose with the addition of synthetic fibers. A viscose rag combined with polyester perfectly absorbs moisture from the floor and wipes it dry. This is an excellent solution for washing surfaces by hand.
A rag containing cellulose has increased absorbent properties.
Synthetics (polyester) cope with dirt better than any natural materials. These rags dry quickly and are durable.
Microfiber is considered a new generation material for cleaning floors. It consists of microscopic fibers of polyester, cotton and others. Such miniature fibers can penetrate into the smallest and most distant crevices and wash away dust and dirt.
Steam cleaner for cleaning floor surfaces
Modern housewives are increasingly wondering whether it is possible to wash floors with a steam cleaner. If you have linoleum floors in your house, then, of course, you can use this unit to clean it. Its use on any other surfaces is prohibited.
The steam regulator must be switched to mode “Two” or “Three”: this way the steam temperature will become lower and will not spoil the coating. After such cleaning there will be no traces left on the floor.
Folk remedies
Readers will also be interested in learning about how to wash the floor folk remedies. If there are children in the house, then it is possible that the floor covering can be painted with felt-tip pens. To wipe it off, you need to soak a small rag in gasoline and lightly rub the “image”. Then wipe the area with a damp, clean cloth and wipe it dry. The same method is used to remove traces from sneakers.
To make the flooring shiny, it is recommended to wash it with a solution of milk and water. Liquids must be mixed in one to one proportions. A freshly washed floor can be oiled linseed oil, which forms protective film and thus protects the surface from damage.
Conclusion
Remember: the dirtiest place in any room is the flooring. Sometimes you can wash the floors every day, or even several times a day. No matter how clean you wash the surface, after a day or two dust, pet hair and other debris will still begin to accumulate in the corners. Whatever way you decide to clean your floors, you need to do it with joy, perhaps even love, and then the floor will not just be clean, but sparkling. Your family will appreciate it, and you will be pleased to enjoy the results of your work.

Why do you dream about cleaning (video)
Timely turning to a dream book for an interpretation of your dream will help you prepare for upcoming events, as well as avoid making mistakes in the future.
Attention, TODAY only!
Every housewife knows the rule: “If you want to make your house beautiful, wash the floors.” There is nothing to object to this. Indeed, it becomes beautiful, but, alas... This beauty is fleeting and short-lived, like makeup applied on a ship in a stormy sea.
How much time does your cleaning take: scrubbing all the corners and other hard-to-reach places with a broom, running through the carpets with a vacuum cleaner, scrubbing away stains and collecting the last stubborn specks of dust with a rag? At least half an hour if you have a one-room apartment and this procedure is carried out 1-2 times a day, and if the apartment is larger and you only have time for cleaning on weekends? Then this dubious pleasure stretches out for two hours.
Nevertheless, everything ends sooner or later. The beauty in the house is indescribable. You finally straighten your stiff back, stretch your knees and enjoy the fruits of your labors. How long do you enjoy? Many years of experience and countless experiments show: on average 10 minutes, maximum 15. And then?
And then the husband bursts into the house without taking off his shoes, because he forgot “something very important and urgent” in the house, the children screaming: “We’re just with friends for one minute!” a herd of swamp hippopotamuses rush across the carpets that have been so laboriously cleaned. And even if you send everyone away on vacation, after the cleaning is finished, your friends or distant relatives will definitely show up, who will need to look around your house and leave traces of their stay in it, both literally and, alas, figuratively: a trampled hallway, dirty dishes, leftovers, full ashtrays, etc.
And you shouldn’t hope that if you don’t open the door or go somewhere yourself, the beauty of your home will at least slightly prolong its ephemeral existence! The upstairs neighbors will definitely forget to turn off the tap and will drench you along with the cleaned carpets, scrubbed baseboards and polished parquet to a mirror shine. However, if you are a lucky person, then upon your return you will be greeted by only a minor cat prank: a broken flower pot, piles of earth and traces dirty paws on the carpet and bed.
Are you already desperate and depressed? In vain. Washing floors to remove dirt is completely pointless. In fact, washing floors is one of the most powerful magical actions. I don't know the best way getting rid of boring guests, how to wash the floor after their tiring visit. For at least six months you are simply insured against their invasion. If you want a longer period, then with major cleaning with spells and burning incense, the time of rest from unexpected guests will increase to 8 years.
Plus, regular cleaning doesn't so much remove dust and mythical germs as it cleans your home of negative emotions. Positive vibes, such as joy, love, goodwill, prefer to settle near lighting fixtures: lamps, candles, fireplaces, etc., and it is no coincidence that they are called bright feelings. And the consequences negative manifestations- quarrels, insults, irritation and disappointment (what a word: breaking the spell! that is, magic!) - they prefer to settle in corners, under furniture and under carpets. That is, to maintain a healthy, joyful atmosphere in the house, wash the floors after quarrels, disagreements, or the arrival of a tax inspector or local police officer. Remove dripping disease from under the bed of a sick relative more often. Just no bleach! Exceptionally good aromas - let the room remind coniferous forest, sea coast, flowering meadow, garden, anything, just not a hospital - a house of sorrow and suffering!
Light a candle, it would be nice with fragrant oil, or even a flashlight! And for the broom! And even better - for a broom - essential attribute A wizard who is good for more than just flying (but that’s a topic for a separate dissertation). Down with resentment and disappointment! And nothing that the children inherited again. How much joy there is in their sparkling eyes! And your husband actually came back only to kiss you again.
Losing weight is a great incentive to clean your apartment frequently. You save time, maintain order and do not spend extra money on sports activities. In addition, the combination of cleaning and gymnastics complies with the rules of Feng Shui - you rid your home of dirt while simultaneously achieving bodily harmony.
Cleaning gives good load on the biceps, triceps, thighs, back and abdominal muscles. The main thing is to make movements with a large amplitude. The faster you move, the more calories you can burn. When quickly moving around the house, accompanied by bending and squatting, you will burn at least 250 kilocalories in half an hour. This is comparable to a thirty-minute walk or a set of gymnastic exercises performed at a moderate pace.
To lose weight and avoid injury, change positions frequently. Try not to stand in an uncomfortable static position, with your knees bent and your back hanging low. Do not bend too sharply - this could damage your spine. Try to alternate movements - for example, squatting, after a few minutes move to your knees, and then stand up and stretch.
To work with maximum efficiency, wear comfortable, loose clothing - a tracksuit made of natural fabric, loose shorts with a knitted top. Wear light sneakers on your feet. It is convenient to move around the house in socks with non-slip soles or barefoot. Long, baggy robes, tight jeans and slippers that fall off your feet are not the best clothes for effective cleaning.
Don't overeat before cleaning. To stimulate yourself, prepare a tasty, low-calorie meal, such as homemade sushi or fruit salad. You can eat it after work - it will be an additional incentive.
Keep a bottle of clean water. Drink as soon as you feel thirsty - this will help you lose weight without harm to your health.
Making a home complex
Start by cleaning up scattered items. Place books, newspapers, children's toys, scattered clothes and dishes in their places. Bend or squat for each item, moving at a fast pace.
The rules for home cleaning say that dust on furniture is first removed, and then the floor is washed. Wipe all free surfaces - tables, shelves, window sills. It's a good idea to wipe down cabinet sides, picture frames, and other ledges where dust likes to collect. Be active - squat, rise on tiptoes and stretch your arms.
For a cheerful mood, you can turn on rhythmic music - it will help with cleaning.
The most energy-consuming activity is washing floors by hand. Prepare a basin and a rag and thoroughly rinse the floor, not forgetting the nooks and crannies. If possible, remove chairs, armchairs, move the sofa - dust and debris accumulate under the furniture. If you can't move the sofa or bed, mop the floor underneath it. Using both hands in turn will not only thoroughly clean the floor, but will also give your triceps and upper back a good workout.
Working with a vacuum cleaner will also take a lot of calories. Clean first upholstered furniture and drapes, and then tackle carpets and rugs. Small rugs can be shaken out in the yard - this useful exercise for the back and arms.
Polishing the floors will help train your legs. Put special brushes on your shoes and start treating the parquet with wax or mastic. Finally, wash the windows - this will work the muscles of your arms, back and abs. Turn around, bend over, change hands - your reward will not only be clean house, but also a toned body.
