Clean the Kitchen Floor

The kitchen floor needs cleaned anytime you eat in the kitchen or dining room. We need to make sure to clean up the crumbs to control the possibility of a rodent or pest problem.
Here is a good way to keep the kitchen floor clean and provide less scrubbing.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Broom
Dust Pan
Mop
Bucket
Water
Floor cleaner of your choice
Windex (optional)
Trash Can with a trash bag

Step 1

Sweeping the Kitchen Floor

With the broom, sweep the dirt or crumbs of entire kitchen and/or dining room floor into a pile.
Step 2

Sweep into a Dust Pan.

Sweep the pile with the broom into the dust pan.
Dispose of pile into the trash can bag.
When mopping is need continue on to step 3.
Step 3

Fill Bucket with Water and Floor Cleaner

Fill the bucket with water and add the floor cleaner of your choice.
Step 4

Mop the Floor

Decided which way you wish to leave the kitchen and/or dining room after the floor is mopped. Start at the opposite end of the kitchen and/or dining room. Put the mop into the bucket and ring out any excess water. Mop the floor in a left and right or back and forth motion. Mop a small area and then repeat this step until the entire floor is mop.
Step 5

Put Cleaning Supplies Away

Take a break until the floor is dry.
Put away the cleaning supplies unless doing the optional step 6.
I suggest step 6 about once a month.
Step 6

Windex will make the floor shine.

For an extra shine:
Spray Windex on the floor starting at the opposite end of the kitchen and/or dining room that you wish to exit. Spray a small section and then wipe with the damp mop. Repeat until the entire kitchen is done.
When the floor is dry, put away all cleaning supplies.
