Surely the following happened to you: sweeping and wiping the floor, you noticed that, although it is clean, it still has a different color than it had before and it also has some stains that were not there in the past.

This means that it needs a deeper cleaning and some extra products to help you remove all that dirt from the floor.

In this article we are going to tell you how to clean your floor with products that you can easily find. You may recognize some and others not so much. The most important thing is, in these cases, to use exactly the correct measure of certain materials to obtain a perfect mixture against dirt.

Clean very dirty floors

As we already know, there are different types of floors and each of them has a different way (in addition to using other products) to clean them:

How to clean a very dirty ceramic floor

Ceramic is simple to clean, you rarely need anything more than wiping it down. Although if you see that the dirt doesn’t come away with anything, try the following:

We fill a bucket with warm water 3/4 of its capacity, then pour 1 cup of white vinegar, 3 tbsp. of detergent and finally about 5 tbsp. of baking soda.

We mix these ingredients well and with the help of a broom, we brush the entire floor. In the dirtiest areas, I recommend that you press the broom against the floor so that all the dirt comes out.

We leave the floor for 10 minutes and finish by wiping it with a damp cloth, allowing it to dry over time.

How to clean very dirty floating floor

It is advisable to keep this type of floor clean at all times. For this it is recommended to have a vacuum cleaner and clean every day. Then every week, wipe with a cloth moistened with disinfectant to have a perfect floor.

Now, if you have some stains or sticky grime, try the following:

In a bucket we mix 1 cup of white vinegar, water and alcohol. While mixing, add about 10 drops of detergent (not abrasive or scented).

We wet a cloth in this mixture and clean the entire floor. And that would be enough since, thanks to the alcohol, this liquid dries quickly.

How to clean very dirty wooden floor

Like floating flooring, it does not have to be in contact with an excessive amount of water. This is because humidity causes it to rot on the bottom side and we cannot avoid it.

To clean the hardwood floor, do the following:

In a bowl we mix 2 cups of water, 1 cup of white vinegar and a few drops of detergent. We pass all this mixture in a sprayer.

We spray the wood little by little while wiping it with a dry cloth. With this solution, you will get a shiny and stain-free floor.

How to clean dirty cement floor

Cement is difficult to get stained on, and it is also very easy to clean. You simply need powdered soap (for washing clothes) and that is enough.

We spread the soap all over the floor. Then we pour cups of warm/hot water and with a broom we start brushing well everywhere.

To finish, we wipe it with a dry cloth, removing all the excess soapy water.
