How to Mop a Floor with Pine-Sol®
Before learning how to mop a floor, it’s important to know that different flooring materials may require slightly different steps. Here are a few links showing how to mop properly if you’ve got Laminate, Hardwood or Tile floors.
While we recommend Pine-Sol® Original Multi-Surface Cleaner to clean germy kitchen and bathroom floors, feel free to dip your spin mop into any Pine-Sol® scent for your daily cleaning routine.†
TIP: Be sure to check whether you’re using our new concentrated Pine-Sol® formula or the old non-concentrated Pine-Sol®, as that will determine your dilution ratio. See the chart below and get your ratios right!

Steps
Dirty floors? We got you. You already know Pine-Sol® is the ultimate floor cleaner, so keep reading for a step-by-step guide on how to use a mop to clean floors in your home.
- Step 1 Mix ⅛ cup of Pine-Sol® Multi-Surface Cleaner with one gallon of warm water.
- Step 2 Dip your mop in the solution. Wring out your mop so that it’s damp but not completely saturated. Start mopping, taking care not to let liquid pool on the floor.
- Step 3 After mopping, rinse your mop in fresh, clean water and wring it out so it’s just damp.
- Step 4 Mop over your floors again to rinse away any remaining cleaner to prevent buildup of film or residue.
With an improved concentrated formula that is 2x as strong* to last 2x as long*, you can use less for the same great clean.
