- Wet Mops

Deep Cleaning Your Floors
Dust and Debris – Remove dust and debris with a dry microfiber cloth, dusting pad, vacuum or broom. When using a vacuum, always turn off the beater bar.
Tough Spots – Get the tough stains out with a damp rag or cloth.
Mopping – If you choose to use a microfiber cleaning pad, first spray the chosen cleaning solution across the area you are about to clean. Begin mopping area until clean, making sure to swap out cleaning pad as needed. When your cleaning pad becomes dirty, clean with warm soapy water or throw in the washing machine.
Daily, Weekly, and As Needed Cleaning
Daily, Weekly, and As Needed Cleaning
Daily – For high traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, entryways and living rooms, daily cleaning is recommended. Make sure you are using a floor cleaner that best suits your coloring!
Right Away – Any spills or food debris should be cleaned up right away. Use a wet rag or paper towel. The longer you wait to clean stains and grime, the harder they are to remove.
As Needed – Lower traffic areas of your house can be cleaned less regularly.
Weekly – Weekly cleaning is recommended for high to mid-level traffic areas within your household. Spray and mop once per week as needed!
