- To start, we take a pot of water to the stove and heat it. Once the water is boiling, we turn off the heat and pour it into a bucket. Hot water is essential to activate the cleaning and disinfectant ingredients.
- In the bucket of hot water, add the following ingredients:
- A cup of liquid detergent: Powdered detergent can also be used if you prefer.
- A cup of white vinegar: Vinegar enhances the cleaning effect and helps eliminate odors.
- Half a cup of baking soda: This ingredient is key to removing all the grime and disinfecting.
- With the mixture ready, we submerge the dirty mop in the bucket. Make sure it’s completely submerged so that all the ingredients can act on the grime. Leave the mop in the mixture for about an hour.
- After the hour, remove the mop from the mixture and drain it well. You’ll see how the grime has peeled off and the mop starts to look cleaner. To make sure all residue is removed, we rinse the mop with clean water and wring it out again. The result is a mop that looks like new, ready to continue fulfilling its cleaning function.
