If you’re struggling with streaks on the floor, the main problem isn’t so much the cleaning product you’re using or the way you brush the mop, but the mop itself.
Let’s say that for any material it would be appropriate to use a neutral and natural cleaning agent : Marseille soap, dissolved for example in a bucket of warm water, is ideal for any surface. In more resistant cases, we can also use a solution based on vinegar or baking soda until they are mixed for an even stronger cleaning and degreasing effect.
However, we are not always satisfied with the results achieved and notice imperfections as if a napkin had left a mark.
So let’s go back to it a second time, with even worse results!
How can you prevent this? Just with a pinch of salt!
Let’s see what happens next together.
Say goodbye to floor scratches! All you need is a handful of this natural ingredient!
If there are marks and stains after a careful spooning, don’t start washing again, there’s no point! The fact is that most likely the mop itself is so dirty that it leaves marks.
Although every time we rinse it and take care to remove dirt, this is not always the case, rather the opposite. We must not forget that dust and black surfaces mixed with water and detergent penetrate between the textures of the fabric and penetrate deep into it.
By swiping over surfaces, we only move this grayish mixture and thus enable the formation of halos.
Use salt for deep cleaning and disinfection . Add 3 tablespoons to a bucket full of hot water and stir with a mop to dissolve. Then leave it on for at least an hour. The cleansing effect of salt destroys all bacteria. After the required time, rinse it well under running water to remove all traces of dirt and sodium chloride and let it air dry.
You must repeat these steps every week to ensure a perfect wash.
You can also use salt to remove rust by simply diluting it in white vinegar, or on furniture to remove stains, but add a little olive oil to nourish them.
In short, we always remember that this gift of nature ensures deep disinfection of any surface. Let’s not spend money unnecessarily on the purchase of expensive industrial products, when we just need to open the pantry to find what suits us, we save and protect the environment!
