TikTok's Helpful Tip Will Have Your Floors Looking Cleaner Than Ever

Cleaning the floors around your home can be a time-consuming task, especially if you have several rooms that require a good mopping. However, rather than rushing to get the job done, one TikTok tip by @cleanthatup could help to ensure that you get a sparkling clean finish every time. The secret trick in question? Simply run water on your mop head cloth in between sections of mopping to prevent dirt from spreading around, saving yourself any extra work from having to clean up any excess dirt later. It's really that simple. 

Although it may take a bit of extra effort, it means that you won't have to keep replacing your mop head as regularly, and you'll get the most out of each swipe when you do. In this instance, it may arguably also help to save you a few bucks in the long term if you manage to take good care of it. In fact, it will probably help you keep your floors cleaner for longer. So, how exactly do you implement this nifty TikTok tip while cleaning? Thankfully, it's just as easy as it sounds.

You need to wet your mop head cloth

Thankfully, you can easily implement this TikTok tip into your cleaning routine. All you have to do is turn on your tap, arm yourself with some cleaning gloves, and pass your mop cloth under the water, making sure you get a generous coating all across it.

You may find that it's best to do this at an angle with warm water to help the water flow down through the material and into your sink. You can also remove any small or big specs of grime that you see. When you're done, simply remove the excess water by rolling up the cloth head and giving it a good squeeze. 

The reason this hack works so well is that the water helps to dislodge anything that's stuck in your mop head fibers, preventing you from spreading dirt around the floor. However, you should always ensure that you clean your mop after using it on the floors. This way, you'll be able to maintain your clean floors — and mop — for longer periods of time.
