The right method for a truly shiny floor
- Dip the mop into the mixture, wring it out carefully to avoid excess water, and then wash the floor as usual.
- Work in stages and avoid covering the same area multiple times. As the paint dries, the surface will gradually take on a cleaner, brighter appearance, free from streaks and a sticky feel.
Bonus: For tougher stains or heavily soiled grout, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of warm water to create a thick paste. Apply it to the stained areas, gently scrub with a soft brush or old toothbrush, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and then apply a vinegar and fabric softener solution to finish the cleanup.
What types of soil can this advice be used on?
This method is especially useful for tiles, laminate flooring, and washable surfaces. Be careful with parquet: use a very small amount of water, wring out the mop thoroughly, and always test on a small, inconspicuous area before cleaning the entire room.
