The vacuum cleaner has made our life much easier – now we can get rid of dust and dirt without washing the floors every time.
But how often should we mop the floors?
Let's find out, suggests ADVICE.NEWS .
High traffic areas
Entrances, hallways and frequently used rooms tend to accumulate more dust and dirt.
It is recommended that you dust these areas at least once a week, or more often if necessary, to keep them clean and free of debris.
Parquet or tile floors
Hardwood or tile floors usually only need to be mopped once or twice a week to remove surface dust and prevent build-up.
Use a dry mop, microfiber cloth, or vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently sweep or wash the floors.
Carpets and rugs
Carpets and rugs are better at trapping dust, allergens and other particles.
Regular vacuuming is recommended, ideally once or twice a week in high traffic areas.
It is also a good idea to have your carpets and rugs deep cleaned periodically using a steam cleaner or professional cleaning service.
Allergies or respiratory diseases
If you or someone in your family has allergies or respiratory problems, you may need to dust more often.
Regular dusting can help reduce allergens and improve indoor air quality.
Consider using a damp cloth or electrostatic duster to effectively capture and trap dust.
Pets
If you have pets that are a source of hair and dander, more frequent cleaning may be required.
Pet hair tends to accumulate quickly and requires more frequent cleaning to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.
