Five mistakes that make your floor dirty faster

Most floors don't get dirty from use, but from the way they are cleaned.

1. Too much water

Water that is left behind attracts dirt. Work with a damp sponge, not a wet one.

2. Too much soap

Soap residue forms a sticky layer. Use a dosage that suits your water hardness.

3. Not replacing the sponge

A saturated sponge spreads dirt instead of picking it up.

4. Working in circles

Work in overlapping strokes, so you don't leave streaks.

5. Skipping the dry cloth

A short drying step makes the difference between clean and streak-free clean.
