Making sure the floors are clean and shiny while saving time is a concern for many. Check out the article below for some quick tips on quickly achieving sparkling clean floors for Tet!
1. Effective Floor Cleaning Hacks
1.1. Use Warm Water
One of the quickest and most effective ways to clean floors for Tet is to use warm water mixed with a bit of soap. Remember to use a small amount of soap to avoid slippery surfaces. Then, make sure to mop the floor again with clean water to ensure no soap residue remains!
1.2. Clean Floors with Vinegar
Using Vinegar to Clean Stubborn Stains on Floors
Note:
- For wooden or stone floors, avoid using vinegar as it may damage the surface
- If you accidentally drop an egg on the floor, avoid using vinegar for cleaning. The acid in vinegar can cause the egg to coagulate, making it harder to clean
- Stains such as blood, wine, or coffee should not be cleaned with vinegar as it may cause the stains to set deeper
1.3. Using Baking Soda to Clean Floors
Baking soda is known for its many excellent cleaning properties, effectively removing stubborn stains. Here's how you can use it to clean your floors:
- First, dissolve baking soda in water. Then, mop the entire floor area with cold water, especially the areas with tough stains
- Next, use a brush dipped in baking soda solution to scrub the stains on the floor until they disappear
- Finally, mop the floor with clean water to finish
2. Tips for Spotless Floor Cleaning
2.1. Removing Stubborn Stains from Floors
Stubborn stains caused by food coloring, tea, coffee, etc. can be tackled by diluting hydrogen peroxide with water and directly applying it to the stains. Hydrogen peroxide will effectively clean these stains, leaving your floors looking bright and new. However, if you use hydrogen peroxide to clean stubborn stains on tile floors, you should use a polishing agent to restore the shine to the tiles.
2.2. Removing Rust Stains from Floors
Are there rust stains on your floors that not only affect their appearance but are also difficult to clean? Don't worry, try using a lemon to vigorously scrub the rust stains on the floor. The strong acidic properties of lemon will effectively clean the stains.
2.3. Removing Oil Stains
Removing grease stains on kitchen floor surfaces can be a hassle for homemakers. Instead of relying solely on a mop, try sprinkling a little flour or rice flour on the grease spots. Then, use a broom to sweep before proceeding with regular mopping.
2.4. Cleaning Floor Crevices
Homemakers often struggle and spend a lot of time cleaning floor crevices or nooks and crannies in the house. However, you can now shorten cleaning time by using hydrogen peroxide with lime and directly sweeping it onto dirty crevices or nooks that need cleaning. You'll notice they become much whiter and cleaner.
2.5. Removing Gum Stains from Floors
To remove stubborn gum stains stuck on the floor for a long time, you can use gasoline. By using a piece of dry cloth soaked in gasoline and vigorously rubbing it onto the gum stain, even the most stubborn gum stains can be easily removed. Finally, mop the floor with a little floor cleaner to remove the gasoline odor.
