Washing the kitchen floors: tips and tricks
As a child I loved to wash the kitchen floors - it was so much fun! All you had to do was pour a bucket of water on the floor and drive it with a rag back and forth until you get bored. Then I saw a series of "Tom and Jerry", where they wash the floor, riding on brushes, and began to try hard to portray something similar. In general, when angry neighbors rang at our door, whose ceiling had leaked - it became a revelation to me. So I learned that the floors should be washed a little differently, and indeed, it turns out, this is a very boring and monotonous exercise ...
But you still need to wash them, and in our today's article we will tell you how to clean the kitchen floor to shine with a minimum of losses - both financial and moral.
Before you go to the water procedures, the floor should be swept. Oddly enough, they still have not invented anything better than the usual broom for this purpose: get to all the nooks of the kitchen quickly, simply and easily. Broom should be slightly moistened with water so as not to pick up dust from the floor. Of course, you can buy a more elegant broom, however, it is likely that you slightly mark the center of the kitchen with it, and then you will still crawl in the corners with a broom. Well, if you just terribly like to stand and wave a broom, presenting yourself as Cinderella - then, of course, you should buy it. After a light cleaning, you can proceed to direct washing the floor, armed with the necessary fixtures. What - it depends on the flooring in your kitchen.

1. Linoleum
It is one of the most popular and most unpretentious flooring. If you regularly wash the floors, then problems with old stains should not be. To wash the linoleum will be enough ordinary water with soapy water and a soft cloth. Just do not use hot water: it is undoubtedly more pleasant to wash it, however, from such a coating can go cracks. Also, make sure that the water does not fall under the cover itself - this will cause it to swell up and your kitchen will turn into an improvised mountain range. Once a month, the linoleum coating can be rubbed with a flannel cloth in order to give it extra shine. For this you can use special "shaggy" slippers rags.
Yes Yes. Somehow you can realize the fun of his childhood.
2. Laminate and parquet
Laminate and parquet are much more demanding in the care, so they do not need to wash, but just wipe with a damp cloth. Since it is difficult to understand when a wet cloth is wet and when it is no longer difficult, a special mop with a soft nozzle is used to clean these floors.
Detergents should also be very careful, laminate and parquet do not tolerate any external aggression, so only mild detergents, and in the case of parquet, it is generally better to use glycerin liquid soap. Both coatings can also be rubbed to a shine, driving around them in fluffy slippers for cleaning, however, you should additionally use mastic.
3. Tile and tile
Such coatings are not afraid of excess moisture, so here you can finally splash. Just do not forget about my sad story, told at the beginning of the article, so even here pour water moderately. A good solution would be a rope mop - it easily gets into the most inaccessible corners, and also absorbs excess water.
However, if you have bright tiles in the kitchen ... I congratulate you, I have the same. Her pleasant beige-peach color warms her with one look, but to wash it with sheer agony. The point is not even that all the spots are visible on it, but that they do not disappear even after thorough, violent washing with the help of all the available devices. No, the floor, of course, becomes cleaner, but ... perfectionists will clearly be unhappy. Therefore, if you have a bright tile in the kitchen, wash it as often as possible and best of all with products that do not leave stains. If you are constantly cooking and stains on the tile are unavoidable, wash it with a cloth or a brush, not a mop: otherwise you will have to rub it for a very, very long time. And best of all, initially choose a darker tile for the kitchen floor.
The process of washing floors should begin in the farthest corner of the kitchen, from where you will gradually move towards the door. It is also better to wash from the corners to the middle: this way you will not tread on the already washed part. Do not feel sorry for yourself during the cleaning, rub as you should! After all, floor washing is an excellent physical exercise, so you will simultaneously kill two birds with one stone.
