Having trouble washing your floors in winter?

If your floors are stained with white streaks, it's because you don't have the right cleaning product. Or maybe even the wrong cleaning technique. So, in this article, let's take a look at what you need to avoid wasting a lot of time washing your floors this winter.

Here are the key points to remember:

1. Thoroughly mop the surface beforehand.
2. Change your wet mops regularly (once a week)
3. Generally, this technique requires hot water (check with the product manufacturer, or on the work label on the wash gallon)
4. Tile floors require washing with a neutral cleaner to avoid damaging the floor finish.
