You’re mopping wrong – I’m a cleaning lady and my clients just push dirt around, my method leaves floors spotless
A PROFESSIONAL cleaner said people are probably mopping incorrectly.
She claimed that she has the best method, and it will stop your kids from having "black socks."
TikToker Donna Mendoza (@donnamendoza35) loves to share her cleaning hacks online.
One thing she doesn't want people to do is use a sponge mop on their floors. She said it doesn't get up all the dirt.
"Another client that has only used a sponge mop," Donna said.
"I told her the sponge mop only pushes the dirt around," she continued. "Doesn’t lift it up."
Donna first scrubbed the floors with a bristled broom and soapy water.
Then she used an Ocedar mop, which has a microfiber head, to clean up the rest.
The cleaner said her client was watching her technique and was "impressed."
"She said no wonder why her kids' socks are always black," Donna wrote.
The TikToker had to mop the floors "at least 10 times" before they were cleaned.
Donna showed how the mop water was still brown after multiple rinses.
"This was about the fifth rinse and was still dirty," she said. "Please no more sponge mops."
Some people on TikTok had opinions about Donna's method.
“After five rinses you should just consider it as ‘part of the floor’ now,” one person said.
“I want to leave it spotless,” the original poster answered.
Others suggested that the cleaner should have used a steam mop instead, or separated the dirty water from the clean water.
"Works better if you separate the dirty water from the clean water instead of mopping with dirty water," a viewer posted.
"Just get a steam mop," another posted. "I loveeeeee them. You wife the floor after and the rag is clean."
