Brilio.net - A clean house creates comfort for all residents. It is important to do regular cleaning, starting from the floor as the most visible area. After sweeping, the mopping process makes the floor cleaner and shinier. The use of a clean mop is highly recommended to remove dust and dirt effectively.
Mops easily get dirty due to frequent use. Without regular washing, mops will become dirty, shabby, and black. In this situation, citric acid is often added when washing. Based on information from webmd.com, citric acid is effective in removing stubborn stains on cloth, so that the mop looks cleaner with bright colors again. It should be noted that excessive use of citric acid can cause irritation.
Alternatively, you can imitate the method used by YouTube user EK TV CHANEL. Instead of using citric acid, he uses other kitchen ingredients to wash his mop. Curious about his method?

"We just stir it like this until the water foams," he said as quoted by Brilio.net on Tuesday (15/4).
After that, put the mop in the bucket. For maximum results, he also added a sachet of bleach and enough hot water to the bucket.

"If all the ingredients have been put in, we leave it for 20 minutes," he added.

After soaking the mop for 20 minutes, take the cloth and scrub the entire surface using a brush. Since it has been soaked in the cleaning solution before, stubborn stains will be easier to remove.
Finally, rinse the mop with running water. After that, wring the mop until the water content is reduced. This way, the appearance of the mop will look clean again.
