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.
