• Also, you should sweep the house or vacuum before mopping or cleaning.
• After dusting, wipe the floor with a dry cloth or a dry mop.

Wipe the floor with warm water. If the floor does not have stains or does not need to be cleaned too thoroughly, a damp mop is enough to clean the floor. Rinse the mop with warm, clean water after wiping part of the room and then repeat until the entire floor is clean.

• You can add a little detergent water to the mixture to wipe away dirt and debris build up daily.
• To keep your floors shiny every day, just use a clean, damp cloth to mop the floor or consider using a dry mop like a Swiffer.

Dry the floor. Whether you use water or water mixed with detergent, use a dry mop to dry small areas of the room (like when using a wet mop). This step helps prevent new dirt from building up quickly and clogging the seams.

Clean up spilled water immediately. If you spill fruit juice or filtered water on the floor, wipe it off immediately. For longer, the more time the water has to seep into the seams. Dried orange juice and other sugary liquids often become uncomfortably sticky as well.

Use an antiseptic to remove more unsanitary liquids. If your pet accidentally "goes wrong" or you accidentally drop the raw meat on the floor, spray the disinfectant directly onto the stain and wipe it off immediately.

• If possible, only spray disinfectant in a dirty area. Strong chemicals can damage or stain tiled floors.

Method 3 of 3: Clean brick seams

   Use a pencil eraser. This home tip is very helpful in cleaning small, stained brick seams. Simply rub the eraser tip of the 2B pencil until the stain is gone. Use a clean pink or white bleaching tip.

   • Wear rubber gloves to protect hands.
   • Dissolve the bleach with water in a 3: 1 ratio if the grout is white. If the grout is colored, you will need to use filtered water. Do not use bleach to stain stained mortar because it can remove color.

   • Wipe the floor with warm water after completely removing traces of bleach.

     

   • After the floor is completely dry, you should carefully apply a plaster coating to the seams to avoid future dust.
