Wring out the mop so that it is no longer too wet, then rub the mop over the entire surface of the floor in your house. You can mop starting from the cleanest area to the dirtiest.

Tips for saving dish soap.
Many people choose to save dish soap by adding water. In fact, this method can make dishwashing soap lose a lot of foam. So, saving dish soap can be done in several efficient ways. Here are some tips that you can try.
1. Use the right sponge or brush.
Choose a sponge or brush that can produce good foam. Cellulose sponges or soft-bristled brushes are usually more effective at producing lather with less soap.
2. Pre-rinsing method.
Rinse plates and cutlery first to remove food residue before washing them with soap. This helps reduce the amount of soap needed to thoroughly clean dishes.
3. Use a soap dispenser.
Use a soap dispenser that can dispense soap in controlled amounts. A dispenser with a pump that releases a little soap with each pressure can help save on soap use.
4. Use soap on the dirtiest tools.
Start washing the oiliest and dirtiest dishes or utensils first. After that, use the foam on the sponge or brush to wash dishes or tools that are more lightly soiled.
5. Use hot water.
Hot water can help dissolve fats and oils more effectively, requiring less soap to clean dishes.
6. Use the two tub technique.
If you have two sinks, fill one with hot water and soap for washing, and the other with clean water for rinsing. This method ensures efficient use of soap because the soapy water does not mix quickly with food residue and oil.
7. Using solid soap.
Solid dish soap or in bar form is often more economical than liquid soap, because it is easier to control the amount used.
