How To Keep Your Floors Spotlessly Clean

• Clean floors are the sign of a clean home, and
  you can bet your bottom dollar that if your
  floors arent spotless, it will be the first
  thing visitors notice!
• Here are a few tips for keeping your floors so
  clean you could eat your dinner off them or at
  the very least, give visitors a positive
  impression of your home cleaning abilities!
• What tools do you need to keep your floors clean?
• The most basic tools necessary for clean floors
  are a good vacuum cleaner, a mop (whether its
  wet, dry or steam), and a broom is optional. You
  can use a good quality store bought cleaning
  solution, or make your own.

• Whats the best way to clean a carpet?
• For clean carpets, a vacuum is essential, and
  ideally, a good one with a HEPA filter.
  Lightweight and cordless ones are the easiest to
  use, naturally, but it pays to invest in a high
  quality one if you want to pick up as much dust,
  dirt, debris and dander as possible.
• If your carpet is stained, you can buy an
  upholstery cleaner, or even hire a carpet
  cleaning machine for tougher or larger stains.

• Keeping your wooden floors clean
• If youre not sure whether your wooden floors are
  surface-sealed, or oil or penetrating-sealed, you
  can try simply running your finger across the
  floor and seeing what happens. If you can see a
  smudge, then your floors are oil or
  penetrating-sealed, and if you dont see a
  smudge, theyre surface-sealed. It can be helpful
  to know this before you begin cleaning your
  wooden floor, so that you can ensure your chosen
  method will be effective.
• For surface-sealed wooden flooring
• Dont use scalding hot water or abrasive
  cleaners, instead, use a combination of warm
  water, dish soap, and white vinegar or ammonia.
  Traditional glass cleaners are also very
  effective.

• For oil or penetrating-sealed wooden flooring
• Sweep it with a broom or a dry mop before
  vacuuming, and dont use any cleaning products
  that contain acrylic or water-based wax.
• Keeping your laminate flooring clean
• Avoid using soap, abrasives or any product that
  contains abrasives, and instead, clean the floors
  regularly with a dry or damp mop. If your
  laminate flooring is grubby, you can use a
  solution of diluted ammonia or white vinegar, but
  always use it sparingly.

• Keeping your linoleum floors clean
• Scalding hot water should also be avoided when
  cleaning linoleum, as with using abrasives or wax
  or solvent-based products, instead, regularly
  clean the floors with a dry or damp mop and if
  you need to use a cleaning solution, you can try
  diluted ammonia or white vinegar in small
  amounts.
• Cleaning your tile and natural stone floors
• Never clean this type of flooring with abrasives
  or a vacuum with a brush roll attachment, as
  these can damage the floor by scratching or
  cracking it. If your floor is made of ceramic or
  porcelain tiles, you can use oxygen bleach,
  chlorine bleach or diluted dish soap to clean it.
