ok so I have a linoleum kitchen floor. I use a vacuum then a wet swiffer to clean it but it comes out looking very dull. How do I get the shine back in?

Thx!

oh poccha is when a maid in pakistan takes a rag and wipes and shines the floor.

btw swiffer does that it leaves residue, easy to use true but that residue is what leaves it dull, look for specialty cleaners for linoleum floors and use that. I have not experimented with cleaning out and refilling a wetjet bottle with a different cleaner..if it works i will let u know :)

mamaof3 where are u from? cos in the UK u can get something similar to the swiper thing but it has some kind of shining stuff on the bottom, so when u use it, it automatically gives the floor a shine

Re: Mopping - a question

quit using the swiffer ...it leaves a residue on your floor which may be the reason why your floors are starting to look dull.

Sire ji its called a Taat laagana..not poocha(thats was the general dusting)…and the maids dont do it…some women do for making a six pack too…so that I have heard:cb:

The new cleaning service we use makes a concoction of bleach and floor cleaner. The bleach probably gives it the brightness. They also get down on their knees and clean with towels.

lol, thanks for the suggestions! I liike the poocha-papaof3 ideal lol!!

I think its time to fire the swiffer, get a real mop and take a long browse in the cleaning isle at the grocery store. then hand it all over to pp3!

Re: Mopping - a question

mr. clean diluted in some water with a standard mop!
best. cleaner. EVER!

we get maids to come once a month and honestly, i had to find out what i could use to replicate the sparkle and shine they leave behind, that Mr. Clean Concentrate was it. its amazing- and you can use it throughout the house.

Re: Mopping - a question

i dont like any of the mops out there....the sponges get dirty easily and collect all kinds of bacteria....you have to keep cleaning them and replacing them.

I prefer using the store bought mop and attaching a towel to the end of it rather then using the sponge(this is how most cleaning ladies do it)...after you are done cleaning...just throw the towel in the washing machine. It cleans much better...trust me.

Re: Mopping - a question

^ throw the dirty towel in the same washing machine you wash your clothes in??

Id never do that.
