The most sanitary way to mop a floor is with a microfiber mop and two buckets of water: one with cleaning solution and one without. Use the soapy water to mop the floor and rinse the mop in the clean water. When the water gets dirty, pour it out and replace it with new water. This mopping technique ensures the mop stays cleaner and prevents the spread of dirt and bacteria.

Now that you know the true pleasure of a squeaky-clean floor, you’re probably wondering how to keep floors clean between mop days. Here are the best tips to keep your floor looking spotless:

• Give floors a quick daily swipe with a microfiber mop.

• Keep a spray bottle of your cleaning solution on hand to use as needed.

• Sweep daily and vacuum once or twice a week.

• Clean up spills and messes as soon as they happen.

• Place a doormat at each entrance to your home to reduce mud tracking.

• Consider enforcing a “no shoes inside” policy.

• Wash your pet’s paws before letting them back inside.

Cleaning floors is a relatively easy DIY job, but paying for a professional cleaning service is worthwhile if you don’t have the time to dedicate to cleaning or if you have particularly dirty floors, deep-set stains, or wooden floors that you might damage during the cleaning process. A professional house cleaner will have the tools and experience necessary to remove dirt, pet hair, debris, and even stains and discoloration from your floors without damaging them. The service is also relatively affordable, making it a great investment if you don’t have the time or tools to do it yourself.

The most effective method uses specialized cleaning solutions and equipment to loosen dirt and stains, followed by high-pressure rinsing and steam cleaning to sanitize and restore the tile and grout's original appearance.
