Collect loose dust by sweeping the kitchen floor daily with a broom or static sweeper and wiping down counter tops, tables and other surfaces with a cleaning rag. To remove sticky buildup, wipe with a damp cleaning rag and wipe a damp mop over your kitchen floor.

Mix 1 gallon warm water in a bucket with 1/2 cup white vinegar and 1 tsp. dish soap. Dip your mop into the bucket, wring the mop out and wipe across your kitchen floors. The diluted vinegar solution makes it safe for any kitchen floor surface while still strong enough to clean and disinfect. The dish soap assists in cutting through any food residue that may be on the kitchen floor. Let your floor air dry after cleaning.
