When you find out you are pregnant, you will probably still be doing housework. If you normally clean your kitchen floors standing up, while pregnant, it is best you clean your kitchen floor on your hands and knee.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Dirty kitchen floor
  • Kitchen faucet or bucket
  • Kitchen floor cleaner or dish soap
  • Cleaning towel for kitchen floor
  1. Step 1

    Turn on kitchen faucet. First, turn on your kitchen faucet and get the water warm. If you want, the water can be warm or hot. Then, add dish soap or kitchen floor cleaner to a bucket. If you want, you can also add water to your kitchen sink.

  2. Step 2

    Get on your hands and knees. To be sure you do not slip while being pregnant, it is best to clean your kitchen floor on your hands and knees. This is also a good way to make sure you clean up all the sticky spots you may not see while standing up.

  3. Step 3

    Use old hand cloth or small towel. Once on your hands and knees, it is best to start cleaning your kitchen floor with an old hand clothe or small towel. With this small hand cloth or small towel, dip it into the bucket or kitchen sink. Then, get down on your hands and knees and begin scrubbing the kitchen floor. It is best to start cleaning the floor from where the kitchen begins, maybe a utility room, to where it ends, maybe a living room. This way, you will not be going over the already wet and clean part of the kitchen floor.

  4. Step 4

    Remember, when you are pregnant, you can still clean your kitchen floor. It should just be done in a different way to protect you and your baby.

Tips & Warnings
  • Follow the steps above and your floors should become clean.
  • Begin cleaning the kitchen floor from the sink to where your next room begins.
  • Do not go over the wet part of your kitchen floor as you may slip if you get on your feet.
