Floor cleaning starts at the preparatory stage. And it does not matter from which material your floor is cork or laminate, from linoleum or porcelain stoneware.
Free up space: lift or move chairs to another room, remove extension cords, collect toys and scattered things. This will allow you to quickly and without obstructions clean the floor in the house.

Use a medium-sized hair brush or regular broom to sweep the room. Do not forget to moisten a brush, a broom! Start revenge from the far corner to the middle of the room, where all the garbage is collected in a scoop. Do not forget to sweep under the cupboards, sofa, bed. If you do not want to mess around with a broom, vacuum it. But it is necessary to collect dust before starting wet cleaning: this way you will avoid dirty stains and wash any surface quickly and cleanly. So, the preparatory stage is over.
Washing various coatings

It is better to wash wooden painted floors with a soap solution, but without using a brush. Wet the rags in water and unscrew well. Carefully mop along the surface. Move right: from the farthest corner to the exit, without stepping on the washed areas. To make the washed boards glisten, wipe them with a mixture made from equal parts of vegetable oil and denatured alcohol. After painting the floor, try to wash it for the first time with water acidified with vinegar: a layer of paint with this treatment holds better. This coating is unpretentious in cleaning, you need to wipe it often.
Parquet floor
Washing parquet is no different from wet cleaning of wooden surfaces. Unless it is necessary to wash it less often - once a month. It is better to use a barely damp cloth so that the boards dry quickly and do not absorb excess moisture. Some housewives in the water add a couple of tablespoons of glycerin (for shine). Rub the parquet with mastic when it is completely dry. And do not forget to polish it to shine with a polishing brush afterwards. How often do this? Once a month.
Linoleum and laminate flooring

Change water constantly. By the way, in the same way you can clean tile, cork floor. How to clean the floors without harming them? Linoleum surfaces (unlike laminate) should not be wetted with hot water, soda, and strongly filled with liquids. How often to wash? As pollution. But at least once a month, rub the linseed oil and linseed oil in the house. So you warn the fragility of linoleum and the appearance of ugly cracks on it, which become a safe haven for dirt and dust.
How to clean the floor if it is made of laminate? When you need to quickly and at the same time properly wash the laminate floor in your house, prepare very hot water, table vinegar, and a special mop for laminate. Add a little vinegar to the bucket: the acid will allow the moisture to evaporate quickly and not leave it on the surface of the stains. Moisten the rag and squeeze it well. It is better to mop the floor straight in front of you, moving your back to the exit. How to clean the floor when it is trampled? Apply undiluted mild detergent to it, after a few minutes, remove the dirt with a mop for the laminate. You can wash as often as linoleum. But not more than three times a week.

Stone Coating
Marble floor is recommended not to wash very often - once a week. Do not add washing powder, liquid soap: whitish stains remain from them. Wipe the contaminated surface with plain water or use a special product with a neutral pH.
Cork floor
The main rule: less moisture on a rag! Sometimes cork flooring needs cleaning with a slightly damp sponge. Do not buy special products for cleaning outlandish coatings! Cork floor is perfectly cleaned with ordinary detergents. And it is better not to use abrasive powders, various solvents.
Tile

Perfectly clean the tile will help you steam cleaner. If not, use universal soap solution. Do not forget to add a few drops of ammonia. After cleaning, rub the tile with a woolen cloth. Try to clean the tile at least once a week. If you are too lazy, then it will lose its attractiveness, and the tile joints will become clogged with dirt so that no toothbrush will help.

Protect the floor before repairs (especially if it is cork or laminated) unnecessary film, newspapers, pieces of old wallpaper. And you do not have to otdirovat remains of whitewashing and remove stains from painting from the surface of linoleum, laminate, sensitive to alkalis and acids.

After repair, in order to avoid stains, clean the floors in several steps:
Surface cleaning. Fill the entire dirty area with concentrated soap solution. When the main dirt - the remnants of whitewashing, painting - has otkisla, very carefully assemble a rag, constantly twisting it and rinsing in warm water.
Thorough washing. Wet a rag in a soap solution, wring it out thoroughly. Square by square, wash the surface so that after you become more or less clean. Clean the cloth often with dirt. So that the traces left from the painting, the whitewash, quickly leave, add a little kerosene or salt to the solution. And change it often.
The final chord. How to wash the floor at this stage? Use fresh rags and warm water. Try to wash the surface without streaking. Perhaps this stage you have to repeat. Pour vinegar into the water to remove the sharp odors and dirt particles.
Tiles can be cleaned using the methods described above. Just first walk on it with a dry cloth to remove construction dust, dried dirt. A cork floor still try to wet less.
Clean porcelain stoneware tiles first with a dry, then moistened rag. If contamination remains, add cleaning powder or paste to the water.
