Brilio.net - Mopping the floor is an important part of a household cleaning routine that aims to maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the floor. This process is carried out with the aim of making the floor dry and free from dirt and dust. However, often the results are not as expected. In some cases, the floor becomes slippery and smells fishy. This situation can be very annoying and even dangerous, especially if the floor becomes too slippery and increases the risk of slipping.
One of the main reasons why floors become slippery after mopping is due to improper or excessive use of cleaning products. Many people tend to think that the more cleaner they use, the cleaner their floors will be. However, residue from cleaning products that are not rinsed off properly can build up and leave a slippery layer on the floor surface. Additionally, some cleaning products contain chemicals that leave a thin film that makes the floor feel slippery when it dries.
In addition to these problems, a fishy smell is also often a complaint after mopping the floor. This smell can come from several sources, including dirty water used for mopping, food scraps or dirt that are not completely cleaned, or even from the mop itself which is not hygienic. Mops that are rarely cleaned or dried properly can become a nest for bacteria and fungi, which then spread unpleasant odors when used.
But the thing that is no less important to note is the floor cleaning fluid used. In some cases, some people usually use special ingredients, such as additional dish soap and hot water. Both of these ingredients are considered to make the floor more abrasive.
However, using hot water and dish soap in the wrong amounts can still make the floor slippery. Instead, you can use other natural ingredients like those used by YouTube user Sha Kha Homey. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted to only using natural ingredients found in the kitchen.

Well, without the need for soap again, this liquid can be used directly to mop the floor. Mop the floor using a cloth as usual. Basically, the acid content in lemons can kill germs on the floor. That way, the floor becomes more fragrant and fresh for a long time.

But not only does it smell fresh, the two ingredients also make the floor dry. The combination of salt and lime juice creates a synergistic effect that makes the floor not only clean but also dry. Salt helps ensure that no sticky residue is left on the floor, while lime juice helps break down and remove dirt and oil. As a result, the floor becomes dry and non-slippery, providing a sense of safety and comfort when walking on it. By using these natural ingredients regularly, you can maintain the cleanliness and freshness of your home floor without having to worry about harmful chemicals.
