Washing flooring is some of the gratifying homekeeping duties there is—don’t you simply love clear, shiny flooring? Your arduous work this week will likely be value it and I promise, each week you do the routine will take much less time and be simpler.

Why do I wash flooring on Thursdays?

I wash flooring on Thursdays as a result of all of the arduous flooring have been completely vacuumed the day earlier than on Wednesday. I understand that it will be much more thorough to hoover and wash flooring all on the identical day, however that takes a lot time, don’t you agree? So, years in the past after I was growing my cleansing routine, I cut up it up and vacuum on Wednesdays and wash flooring on Thursdays. Do I’ve to re-vacuum on Thursdays? No. I do CHECK FLOORS earlier than I wash the flooring however hardly ever do I must re-vacuum. Any re-vacuuming is minimal and it is normally underneath the kitchen desk or across the island.

Think about what you are able to do immediately – even when you’ve got 10-15 minutes, do one thing!

Favorites:

Probably the most incessantly requested questions I obtain is about what instruments I exploit for laundry flooring. Listed below are my favorites on my favorites web page and you may also see my favorites on Amazon as nicely. Reality be advised, my favourite methodology is with a microfiber cleansing fabric – particularly within the bogs as a result of I believe you will get a greater clear however most weeks I solely have time for a fast wash and mops are nice for that!

Every day Upkeep:
Each day of the week I’ve ‘examine flooring’ as a part of my routine. Which means after meals we examine the kitchen flooring and sweep or vacuum as wanted. If I see one thing on an one other flooring within the dwelling, I do a fast sweep or vacuum. This checking of the flooring is one thing that I do, my husband does, and the children will even seize a brush and assist out. It’s not meant to be a full-on flooring sweeping or vacuuming, it’s a day by day dust clear up. With Three youngsters and a pair of canines, this is crucial.

Right here’s what I need you to do immediately for flooring washing:

I’ve discovered {that a} couple strategies work very well with regards to flooring washing. Each now and again, the flooring want an old school, hands-and-knees washing. Relying on the time you wish to make investments and in the event you want washing your flooring this manner, you would possibly wish to go all out immediately. If not, merely wash them along with your favourite methodology and instruments.

1. Shortly transfer any chairs and rugs that may get in the best way.
2. Begin in the back of every room, within the nook farthest away from the door, and wash from left to proper, washing your approach out of the room.
3. Wash each single hard-surface flooring, together with the laundry room, bogs, entryway, and residing areas.

This put up talks about my favourite strategies for laundry flooring – test it out.  Right here’s a put up on clear tile flooring and a put up particularly about wash laminate flooring.

If in case you have a tough time vacuuming and never washing the flooring proper afterwards, this put up shares some ideas for splitting up vacuuming and flooring washing.

Do that DIY Recipe for ANY flooring – this recipe is for a 16 ozspray bottle and is tremendous straightforward to combine up – you will discover the total recipe right here or simply seize it beneath.  Use it in a twig bottle or in a refillable mop.

Fast DIY Floor Cleaner

• 1 3/four cups heat water
• 16 oz. spray bottle (HERE’S MY FAVORITE GLASS SPRAY BOTTLE + LABELS)
• 1-2 drops of Sal Suds or castile cleaning soap (each may be present in my Amazon store HERE)
• 3-5 drops ESSENTIAL OILS in the event you’d like just a little scent – a few of my favorites are lemon + clove for the castile and pine + lemon for the Sal Suds (it has a pine-y scent already)

My favourite utility for deep cleansing is with a twig bottle and microfiber fabric however you may also spray and use a microfiber mop or spray mop (you’ll be able to see my favorites right here) or pour the answer right into a small bucket and wipe up with a microfiber or cleansing fabric or with a mop.

Tip for Microfiber Mop Pad: Dampen the mopping pad earlier than beginning and add a drop or two of lemon important oil to provide your property an uplifting scent as you mop.

One thing to consider:

I discuss this extensively in my third ebook, Clean Mama’s Information to a Wholesome Dwelling, in the event you’ve ever not worn socks in your arduous floor flooring (in fact you’ve gotten), or allowed a toddler to play or crawl in your arduous floor flooring (how are you going to not?), you’ll be able to positively respect a clear flooring. However a clear flooring and a secure and clear flooring are very totally different. Do you know that residue can come into your bloodstream by your naked ft on the ground. If in case you have youngsters that put their arms on the ground and of their mouths (howdy, toddlers), this is actually upsetting. I’m not saying this to scare you however to provide you some data so you can also make your individual decisions. In relation to flooring washing day, there are many straightforward choices for cleansing your flooring with out chemical compounds, so why even trouble cleansing with them? I really like a steam mop for tile and linoleum flooring, I don’t use steam on my hardwood flooring (or suggest it) however I do know that there are mops which can be ‘appropriate’ for sealed hardwood flooring.
