Day 4: Floor Cleaning - 5-Day Green-Cleaning Resolution

October 25, 2008

This is Part IV of V in my 5-Day Green-Cleaning Resolution series, with cleaning tips to help you green-clean your house in under 30 minutes a day

The 4th day of my plan consists of cleaning most of the floors in my house. I’ll save the bathroom and kitchen floors for the days I tackle these rooms.

Thursday (Day 4): Clean Floors

• Sweep, dry mop and wet mop any surfaces without carpet (except: bathroom and kitchen)
• Vacuum any carpeted floors
• Vacuum between and under cushions on sofas, couches and chairs

List of cleaning items you will need:

• Norwex Antibac wet and dry mop (Mop Starter Package)
• A vacuum cleaner
• Norwex Antibac Enviro Cloth (for any stubborn marks) and to remove carpet stains
• Norwex Spray Bottle

All my cleaning enthusiasm sparked me to go out and buy a new vacuum cleaner which was desperately needed. That being said, I did spend about 45 minutes between vacuuming and sweeping and cleaning floors. I should point out that these tasks had also been a little neglected in my house as of late. I am confident since I gave everything a very good cleaning tonight, that this can be easily maintained in 30 minutes if I keep up on it every week.

I also got a little carried away with looking for any spots and stains on my carpet. I don’t quite know why it works so well - but the Enviro Cloth is amazing for removing carpet stains. The trick is to spray the spot with water and make sure it it well saturated. Then, just use a wet Enviro Cloth to scrub. Almost every stain I have ever found on my carpet comes out with just the cloth and water. Even stains I had used harsh chemicals to previously remove - without success.
