Philly Blue RoutineCare+ Cleaning

At Philly's Clean Team, we understand that proper mopping techniques are essential for maintaining immaculate floors in your home. With our expertise and dedication to excellence, we've perfected the art of mopping to ensure that your floors are not only clean but also pristine and inviting. In this comprehensive guide, we'll share our expert tips and techniques for properly mopping floors, so you can enjoy a spotless living space with ease.

1. Gather Your Supplies:

Before you begin mopping, gather all the necessary supplies from Philly's Clean Team. You'll need a high-quality mop (either a traditional string mop or a flat microfiber mop), a bucket, warm water, and our eco-friendly cleaning solution. Our specialized cleaning solution is formulated to effectively remove dirt and grime without leaving behind any residue.

2. Prepare the Floor:

Start by removing any furniture or obstacles from the area you'll be mopping. Our team will sweep or vacuum the floor to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris, ensuring a clean surface for mopping. This step is crucial to prevent the mop from pushing dirt around and leaving streaks on the floor.

3. Mix Your Cleaning Solution:

Fill the bucket with warm water and add the appropriate amount of our eco-friendly cleaning solution. Our cleaning solution is safe for use on all types of flooring and will leave your floors looking clean and refreshed without any harsh chemicals.

4. Dip and Wring Out the Mop:

Dip the mop into the cleaning solution, then wring it out thoroughly to remove excess water. Our experienced cleaners know just the right amount of water to use to ensure that the mop is damp but not dripping wet. Starting from the farthest corner of the room, our team will begin mopping in a back-and-forth motion, working their way towards the exit.

5. Pay Attention to Technique:

Our skilled cleaners use long, smooth strokes when mopping, overlapping each pass slightly to ensure thorough coverage. They avoid pressing down too hard on the mop, as this can push dirt into the grout lines or crevices of the floor. Stubborn stains or spots are spot-cleaned with the mop before continuing.

6. Change the Mop Water as Needed:

As the water in the bucket becomes dirty, our team will empty it out and refill it with fresh cleaning solution. Continuously mopping with dirty water will only spread dirt around and leave streaks on the floor.

7. Rinse and Wring Out the Mop:

Once the entire area has been mopped, our cleaners will rinse the mop thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt and cleaning solution. They'll wring it out again to ensure it's not too wet before storing it away.

8. Allow the Floor to Dry:

After mopping, our team will allow the floor to air dry completely before walking on it or replacing furniture. This prevents any streaks or water spots from forming and ensures that your floors dry to a beautiful shine.

Conclusion:

With Philly's Clean Team by your side, you can trust that your floors will receive the meticulous care and attention they deserve. Our expert cleaners will ensure that every inch of your floors is thoroughly cleaned and refreshed, leaving your home looking and feeling its best.
