Properly wash the floor depending on the type of coating
By the type of material used, floor coverings differ by the following:
Laminate;
Parquet;
Linoleum;
Tile;
Wood (polished and painted), etc.
Let us consider in more detail each of the types and characteristics of their washing:
Wooden floors. Do you have a floor made of unpainted wooden boards in your house? Wet processing will require cool water and detergent. Without squeezing rags, walk on the floor, wetting it well. After that, take a hard bristled mop and clean the surface. Walk on the foam floor with a damp cloth, washed in clean water. After that, you can wipe the floors with a dry cloth.

It is advisable to wash painted or varnished wood floors with a soft cloth and the same detergents. Do not use a brush to clean this type of flooring. In addition, strongly wet rags is not desirable. The floors should be cleaned with a damp, well-wrung cloth. Move from the outer wall of the room along the baseboards to the exit, and at the very end, rinse the center of the room. In order to add shine to the surface, mix in equal proportions vegetable oil and methyl alcohol, apply the composition to a rag, and wipe the dry surface. After drying the painted floors, wipe them with a solution of table vinegar in plenty of water. This will give the paint extra gloss and durability. Often carry out general cleaning of wooden floors is not desirable.
Parquet. The parquet floor is the same wooden one, only made not from large boards, but assembled from small planks. This coating is necessarily varnished. This prevents excessive moisture from penetrating the structure of the tree, and allows the floor to last for quite a long time. Therefore, it is advisable to wash this coating infrequently, and only with a well wrung out damp cloth. To add shine, some glycerin is added to the wash water. After drying, rub the floor with special mastic, and polish to a shine with a chamois cloth or brush designed for this action. It is possible to wash this coating once a week, the rest of the actions should be carried out no more than once a month.
Laminate. To clean the laminate floor without stains and streaks, there are several proven methods. To thoroughly wash the laminate floor, add a tablespoon of dishwashing detergent, liquid soap or shampoo to a bucket of water. Gel washing powder is also great. The rags or sponge you use should be carefully wrung out. Change the water frequently when washing and rinse the surface with clean water after using detergents. This recipe is perfect for washing cork and tile floors.
To properly clean the laminate floor, prepare hot water, vinegar (9%) and a mop with a soft nozzle (preferably especially for the laminate).

In hot water, add vinegar, which promotes rapid evaporation of moisture from the floor surface, and prevent the occurrence of stains. Moisten a rag in the solution, and squeeze. Wipe the floor in front of you, moving back towards the door.
To clean the floor of serious pollution, dissolve a large amount of detergent in water and foam. Apply the foam to the coating, wash off with a clean cloth after 10 minutes.
Preventive washing of the laminate floor can be carried out no more than 3 times a week. General cleaning should be done once a month.
Linoleum. The first rule of washing linoleum floors is never to use hot water and abrasive cleaners. It is recommended to wash floors of this category only as they are contaminated. However, once a month should be wiped with linseed oil or vegetable oil. Flaxseed oil or sunflower oil is great for this. Thereby, you will return plasticity to the coating and prevent premature breakage.
Porcelain stoneware. For serious pollution it is better to use acid-based products that are added to the floor washing water. Dampen a soft cloth with liquid, wring out and walk on the floor surface. After treatment with detergent, wipe the floor with a cloth dampened in clean water. Wipe dry with a rag.
Stone (marble, granite). This coating does not require frequent maintenance. It is enough to wipe the floor once a week with a damp cloth. To avoid stains and stains, exclude detergents. As a rule, substances with a neutral pH balance are used to treat stone coatings.
Bung. Cork is extremely hygroscopic material. Any increase in humidity and cork floor absorbs excess moisture even from the air. Therefore, the basic rule - a minimum of water on a rag. Do not be worth the money and buy expensive products for washing such an unusual floor. It can be cleaned with ordinary soapy water. Do not use any kind of abrasives.
Tile. For cleaning tiled floors, a vacuum cleaner with a washing function or a steam cleaner is perfect. If there are no such devices in the house, ordinary soap, dissolved in water, will do its job no worse. After washing the floors, rub the tiles with a wool cloth. This will help avoid premature contamination of the seams, and will make the coating sparkle as good as new.
