Things You Will Need
- Bucket
- Microfiber mop
- 1 gallon warm water
- 1 tbsp. borax
- 2 tbsp. ammonia
- Clean cloth
Tip
- If you do not have a mop, wash the floor by hand. Use a circular motion when hand washing and rinse the floors quickly to avoid water lines or streaks.
Warning
- Do not use a sponge mop to clean a tile floor. The sponge absorbs slowly and causes dirt to be pushed across the floor instead of absorbing it.
