Once everything is dust-free, you introduce your liquid cleaners. The goal is to use as little water as possible while still removing stuck-on residue.

For hard floors:

*Use two buckets if possible — one for clean solution, one for rinse.

*Change your mop water often (dirty water = dirty floors).

*Mop in a figure-eight motion for even coverage.

For surfaces like counters and fixtures:

*Use damp (not soaked) microfiber cloths.

*Follow with a dry towel buff for a streak-free finish.

For high-touch or disinfected areas:

*Always check dwell time on the label. Most disinfectants need at least 30 seconds to work.

*Wipe excess afterward to avoid sticky buildup.
