For homes with hardwood, vinyl, or tile floors, a spray mop is an essential cleaning accessory to have on hand. It’s a gentle cleaning device that utilizes homemade dilute solutions instead of harsh chemical cleaners, and the microfiber pad is safe for all types of floors. Make no mistake, though spray mops are great at scrubbing away dirt and spills in minutes. Simply fill the bottle,attach a fresh microfiber pad, and you’re ready to go. Once you’re done, empty the leftover solution and wash the cloth for future use.
Spray mops are definitely the way forward, especially if you’re looking for an environmentally friendly, compact cleaning accessory.
If you like the idea of using natural cleaning products and want to add a boost of scent, add a couple drops of your favorite essential oil to the solution for a gentle aroma in your freshly cleaned room.
TIPS
- Empty the refillable container between uses. You’ll always want clean water and fresh solution, so empty the container on the mop between uses.
- Clean the microfiber pads separately. Because the reusable microfiber clothes pick up dirt and debris, you might want to clean them separately from your towels, linens, and clothes. Some can be hand-washed and hung up to dry, while others can be thrown in the washing machine.
- Select for pet-friendly solution. When you’re mixing or choosing the cleaning solution, do your research to find out which ones are the most pet-friendly. Even some natural solutions that contain simple ingredients can be unsuitable to use around animals.
