This is so helpful. Especially growing up without someone to teach you these things.. a lot of kids don’t learn responsibilities and how to clean because we don’t have role models. Thankyou so much for this helpful video :)

I had no idea what to do, now I do. Knowledge is power.

I never thought my anxiety would have brought me here just because I'm anxious of mopping floors wrong at my work💀

I work as a semi-professional commercial building janitor (4 hour nights part time), and this video tracks. I like the tip of using what you have. Most buildings I have worked were well equipped, but there was this one clinic where I had to find a gallon icecream bucket to fill my mop bucket, which is about 12 gallons below the wringer. The techniques are quite similar, albeit I usually use a free-end 2-layered string mop, as common with the kind of cleaning I do. I also use either a 24 or 48 inch dustmop before instead of the vacuum, mostly due to the area being covered. All said, a medium sized 1-floor office with about 20 individual offices can have the 3 rugs vacuumed, dust mopped, garbage collected, bathrooms cleaned, high-touch surfaces disinfected, and wet mopped in about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the soil level. The 3-story clinic (middle floor is about 75% of the work by contract requirements) is also about 2 hours. The doctors clean up after themselves better than the office workers though.

Came here to learn how to mop properly because apparently I don’t, says my mom :] ..
so since she didn’t want to tell me how to do it right, I’m here now lol thanks

I think the first step to mopping, I researching all different floor types. I wish I had known that sooner. Now that I’m in the cleaning business, I realize how different all these floor types are, and how they react differently to certain styles of mopping. 😭

I’m still learning about all floor types, my least favorite to mop is marble flooring—it just seems to streak VERY easily! I think a flat head mop is best for them, and then detailing the grouts when needed.

I just started using the ocedar mop—I LOVED IT! I just bought a Tsmine spin mop, it’s heavier duty for someone like me who is at several houses a day.

I mopped the floor thousands of times. I really like to watch these type of videos when I clean.

I love the tip for the shirt. I love when I see people showing class these days. So respectful. Mindful cleaning tip.

What a blessing!
With all these options there's really no excuses.

I would love to see how to clean up after mopping. Like do you rinse the mop? Where do you empty? Where do you store your mop to dry?

[Queen-of-Swords]

I prefer water as hot as the tap will go. Yes it cools down, but it stays pretty good unless you are mopping a Walmart. As for the steam mops, I gave up with them as they seem to gradually remove the coating, on lino, wooden floors etc. So I agree with you on that. They also break often.
Rinsing and wringing your mop as often as you can bare is they key!

Thank you for choosing O-Cedar! Happy Cleaning!

[monikerone]

Hot water helps break down particles immediately on contact, thus allowing for a better clean
