With pet dander, dust and other contaminants constantly being tracked into the house, floors should be cleaned at least once a week. Here’s some quick and easy tricks to help you Disinfect Floors more quickly! Remove pet hair from hardwood floors with a sweep from an aluminum broom (not a bristle broom). 

 

Just roll the floor sweeper back and forth to pick up the hair. Don’t forget to clean the sweeper, too — you don’t want dog or cat hair going into your vacuum cleaner!

 

Dust mops are easier to use than traditional mops and buckets of dirty water. Use one of these with your favorite floor cleaner on laminate, tile or hardwood floors. [If you don’t like the smell of the cleaner, use a different method. For example, you can use one of these with an enzyme cleaner to clean tile floors.]

 

If you have a lot of things in your home that need to be cleaned regularly (think aquariums and fish tanks, for example) you might want to invest in an aquarium vacuum.

 

A spray bottle with plain water is a great way to keep your hardwood floors clean and sanitized. 

 

Fill a spray bottle half-way with water and then add a couple drops of bleach (liquid or powder). Spray the floors and wipe with a sponge. [If you don’t like the smell, use one of these instead.]

 

Another easy way to  is to use an inexpensive heat mat under a pile of rags or foil. Wring out the towels and spray them with room temperature water just before you toss them into the dryer on hot air. The heat mat under the rags will disinfect them.

 

A warm, dry floor is a good place for dust mites to do their thing . And you don’t want to encourage these little buggers. Keep your floors warm and dry by using a space heater in the rooms where you spend the most time: living rooms, family rooms, recreation rooms and kitchens. All of these areas should be between 72°F (22°C) and 77°F (25°C).

 

One of the best ways to Disinfect Floors is with vinegar. Pour straight vinegar into the washer and allow it to sit overnight. In the morning, put on a pair of old rubber gloves, pour in some more vinegar and scrub with a brush. 

 

If you have pine floors, make sure to wash the vinegar off before your children walk barefoot through your home!

 

Another quick and easy way to disinfect your floor is by using wipes or mop solution. To make wipes you can use any type of liquid bleach, for example Windex or Clorox. Mix these liquids with some warm water and pour it into a spray bottle. You can also use this solution in your mop water. This is also a great method for cleaning your kitchen floor, especially if you have tile or wood.

 

If you have carpeting in your home, one of the best ways to disinfect your floor is using tea tree oil. Just mix 2-4 cups of water with 10 drops of the oil. Scrubbing a bit before the liquid dries will help disinfect your floor further.

 

If you want to Disinfect Floors and furniture, you can also use some of the products we have at M&M. We have specific products for both cleaning carpets, floors and stairs. 

 

If you want to use a special cleaner for certain types of floor materials, we also have a full line of cleaners that work with these materials.
