GENERAL RULES THAT SHOULD NOT BE NEGLECTED DURING MOPPING
To quickly clean the floor, first clear the area for cleaning actions - remove the scattered things, lift the chairs.
Collect large debris - candy wrappers from candies, crumpled pieces of paper, fragments of broken toys. All this can be gently swept away with a wet broom and thrown away.
Start washing from the farthest corner of the room relative to the door. The less you trample on the washed floor, the cleaner it will be after cleaning.
The movements of the floor cloth should be directed from the walls to the middle of the room.
Wash in parts. Immediately clean the washed area with a clean, dry cloth.
Change the wash water in the bucket as often as possible. Remember that after 2-3 rinses the water becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. You should not transfer them from one place to another.

Rinse the mop often and thoroughly in order to better clean it from dirt. Unscrew the cloth carefully. Excess moisture damages the flooring, from whatever material it is.
CLEANING OF FLOOR COVERINGS OF DIFFERENT TYPES

The topmost layer of the laminate is covered with a special film that protects other layers, more tender, from damage and moisture. How to clean the laminate floor?
