Despite the fact that many of the rules that you will find in the list below seem absolutely obvious, not all (especially “beginner”) housewives are familiar with them.

Meanwhile, it is these tips that allow you to clean as quickly as possible and with the best results.

1. Before you start washing the floor, clear its surface. Small things and interior items should be lifted up, shoes should be put in a cabinet in the hallway, chairs should be lifted onto the table in the kitchen, the carpet should be rolled up in the living room, etc.

2. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the floor and baseboards from dust, not forgetting the most "inaccessible" corners. If you don't have the necessary equipment at hand, remove debris and dust with a brush or broom.

3. Stock up in advance with special cleaning products that are suitable for the type of flooring installed in your home. They guarantee special cleanliness and shine, while protecting the floor from damage.

By the way, buying household chemicals does not always make sense - look for recipes for folk remedies on the Internet: they cope with cleaning no less effectively.

4. Start washing the floor from the farthest corner, gradually moving towards the exit.

5. Try not to step on wet floorboards to avoid leaving marks on them – even if they are not immediately visible, they will certainly appear after the floor dries.

6. Try to change the water more often, otherwise you will simply smear the dirt and spread bacteria throughout all the rooms.
