Practical in the kitchen, it disinfects and deep cleans not only kitchen utensils but also floor cleaning equipment. Simply pour half a cup of baking soda into a bucket of warm water and let the cloths or mop soak for a few hours. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water. You can also machine wash the mop, again using baking soda. In this case, place the baking soda in the washing machine drawer, set the temperature to at least 70°C (158°F), and run a wash cycle.Vinegar and lemon eliminate germs, bacteria, and bad odors. Vinegar is another effective product for cleaning a mop. It eliminates dirt and unpleasant odors caused by bacteria. Pour warm water into a container and add one cup of vinegar per liter of water. Let the mop or cloths soak for half an hour, then wring them out to remove all traces of water and dirt. For more effective cleaning, add two tablespoons of baking soda to the water. This will maximize its degreasing and disinfecting power. After using the lemon, thoroughly clean the mop.
