Try this awesome Mopping Hack! You won’t be sorry! | Clean With Me

I recently discovered this amazing mopping hack and wanted to share it with you! I hope you try and and love it as much as I do!

** DISCLAIMER- I can NOT pour my mop water outside OR down the toilet. Neither of those are options for me. I have no option other than the sink. I felt the video was long enough, and common sense would dictate that I wouldn’t have to show me sanitizing it, it would be understood that I did. If you would like to see, here is how I do it:

I clean my floors with the same mop bucket and love it. I don’t use soap on my floors because of the large amount of soap scum and dulling it puts on the floors. I use your basic white vinegar. It’s natural, it neutralizes any odors, it’s a natural disinfectant and you’ll notice after a few cleanings your floors will look amazing. After a few cleanings the soap scum will be completely removed. Thank you!!

I use the toilet for dumping the dirty water, tub water to rinse bucket then toilet again for dumping. I to use this same spin bucket, but don’t recommend dumping in kitchen sink, especially and sand into garbage disposal is not good for it. Thank for sharing.

I like it when someone doesn’t act like it was all their idea. You learn a hack and share it. Well done.

I've been a house cleaner for 20 years. I always use Dawn dish soap for washing floors because it breaks up all grease and dirt and it's much safer for kids and pets.

I pour the dirty water on a ugly tree in my backyard that I didn’t care at all for and the tree blossomed and is now so beautiful giving me dozens of avocados 😂

Is the same true with laminate flooring? Also, everyone leave her alone. I have been a nurse for 34 years. I am the biggest germ freak around and YES, you can dump dirty water down a sink and it can be disinfected to live another day! Just like you can debone a chicken in a sink, disinfect the sink properly afterwards (I wear gloves when touching raw meat, just fyi), and you can then wash dishes in that same sink that very night. Funny how that works, isnt it? 😂🤣
You are doing an AMAZING job! Thank you for your video!

Young lady, your floor was not that dirty! I've cleaned houses where I got water that was dark brown and almost black! I suggest pouring the water down the toilet.

[AndreaM]

Girl, your house is so organized and uncluttered! With 2 kids, husband and dog? I'm amazed.Truly. 😊

[micheleandrews]

You are an adorable mom! Thank you for encouraging other moms to care for their homes and families. Your floors look great!!😊

I'm really happy that you've found something that works for you and that so many other people like it too, but I'm really stunned that this seems like a new concept to so many. I'm tickled at the thought!. I'm from the UK, and this is how we've always cleaned the floors. I'm 48 and I have always done this, like my mum, my gran, my great-gran and so on. You clean the house, vacuum, "pop the kettle on" (boil the water), make a cup of tea with it and then pour the rest in the mop bucket. When you're done mopping, you sit down with your cup of tea!

I'd never actually considered it might be different elsewhere, and I love that thought! PS - always use boiling water, one for the hygiene factor, but also it'll evaporate off your floors. Warm water will not evaporate, it'll sit there and, over time, damage wooden or laminated flooring. Also, it'll leave those faint water marks. Also, to avoid any build-up of residue, or you get streaky floors when the sun shines through, skip the detergents and use boiling water and white vinegar only. Dirt cheap, anti-bacterial, safe for kids and animals, environmentally friendly - and has worked since before even my great-gran! Happy mopping, I'm always going to think of you when I do my floors. Love from the UK!

In my humble opinion, and based on my 15 years of professional housekeeping, you might want to spin a bit more water out of that fabulous spin mop (this is why they are the bomb!) For your wood floors. They dry fast because the water is hot but i also think that hot water may be hard on the wood floors. And some of the color in that mop may be stain from the floors.
I know for a fact that mr clean (along with pine sol) leaves a residue behind because of a shower i cleaned years ago, once a week, for 3 years, that suddenly turned black. The tile guy at home depot told me it was my cleaners residue. It had collected enough grime because it was sticky, that it turned black. I had to use Krud Cutter to get it clean and it took a hard scrub to do it. Also, thats alot of soap ! I would have changed the water out 2 or 3 times for that much floor too. It comes to a point where youre just spreading dirt around.
Still great video with easy to understand instuctions. And i love your house!

I cleaned professionally for 20 years. We always used vinegar and water, and most of the larger homes had floor steamers for wood like yours. When you need a deep clean Murphy's oil soap is wonderful and it smells amazing.

[peggymcphail]

I have wood floors 127 yrs old...(old farm house) 5bdrm, 2 bath. Floors are usually mopped weekly, I use Murphys oil soap. Been doing this for 23yrs, no damage to the floors and I don't even wax 😊💞

[debsylvania]

I have a 96 year old Craftsman Bungalow with the original hardwood floors. I have used Murphy's Oil Soap for almost 30 years. It conditions the wood and my floors are beautiful. (I also use a spin mop by BoomJoy with microfiber heads) I would be concerned about the Tide pods being too harsh and the effect over time. Also, the boiling hot water seems harsh to me as well. I appreciate you sharing but I'm worried for your floors

[wjbroadcast]

The look on your face alone as you dumped the bad water was worth the price of this admission!! Thanks so much for sharing!

[sharonbohannon]

I’m terrible at housecleaning and used the swiffer wet mop. It’s gotten more challenging since back surgery a few years ago and a bit of arthritis. (I’m 77.) Your video was so enlightening that I bought the spin mop. Was just delivered. I put in a Tbsp of Dawn and some Melaleuca all purpose cleaner. I just mopped my kitchen and bathrooms in 20 minutes. So easy!!! Feel clean, proud and accomplished! 👏🏼

[ssmith]

If you add a little rubbing alcohol to your solution..not much, maybe 2 tablespoons, your floor will dry so fast and it will not damage your wood. I've been doing it for 10 years. Great video!

[Zombiecupcake]

I appreciate this a lot. My mother never made me help out with chores growing up and I became an adult and felt so lost and overwhelmed once I had my own place. Now as a 32yr old woman, I still feel much more comfortable cooking than cleaning. I will definitely be trying this and I love a good cleaning video. It’s so helpful for those like me who just don’t really have cleaning skills! A visual really helps.

I’ve never seen anyone more excited about moping their floor…makes me wanna go mop my floor right now!

My house was built in the 50’s and I’ve been mopping with hot water for well over 30 years. Water is bad for wood if the water sits on the wood for any length of time. But, hot water is good to use especially with your ceiling fan on high. The ceiling fan dries the floor faster, so the water doesn’t sit on the wood for very long at all. LOL, your dirty water was not that dirty looking. Great job! Keep up the hard work. PS: If you use a dry dust mop daily, it will keep your floors healthier. God Bless, Susan from SE Missouri
