How to Wash Floors Fast and Easy

Wash or mop floors with a foot and towel. Take a towel and place it on top of spilled milk or juice. Allow the towel to soak up the spill. Use a reacher to lift the towel up and put it into the sink. Take another towel and put that one on top of the wiped up floor area. Put your foot on top and use a back and forth motion to clean the floor with your foot and a towel. Save messing up a clean towel so use one that is ready to be washed.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• damp or dry towel
• large towel

1. 
    
   Kitchen spills

   Wipe up the kitchen floor when there is a spill on the floors. Get a dry clean towel and toss it over the spill. Save money by not using an expensive paper towel. Use a kitchen towel ready to go into the washing machine. Use a size depending on the size of the spill. Put your foot on top of the towel and in a back and forth motion, wipe or wash a floor with your foot and a towel.

2. 
    
   use a grabber

   Put one foot on the spill, and the other foot on the linoleum or tile to wash floors. If you need to have support, hold on to the back of a kitchen chair. Start to tap on an inexpensive towel with a foot until the spill feels absorbed. Move the towel over the dirty floors. Lift the towel off the floor using a 'grabber', and place in the sink.

3. Use another dry towel that is inexpensive as well. Wipe the floor to dry the wet area of the floor. Do not bend but use your foot to move the towel around until the floor appears to be dry. Wipe and wash the floor with a foot on a towel or a paper towel if you prefer.

4. Wash floors using a towel to wash and remove dirt spots when unexpected company shows up at your front door. Wet a small sheet of paper towel and put your foot on top until it absorbs the spill or dirt spot. Then wipe the entire area until the floor shines. Allow to dry if it still is wet.

Tips & Warnings

• If you cannot bend because of knee pains or low back pains, this method of wiping the floor will work. Do this on a daily basis and the floor will never get too dirty.
• For a quick clean up to get ready for company, this is the best way for someone who has a problem bending.
• Keep one foot on the towel and the other directly on the floor.
• Hold on to the back of a chair, if you need support. One with wheels would be the best as you can roll it as you move around cleaning or washing the floor.
