[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our housekeeper uses an old fashioned mop on all hardwood floors, I assume she swept, then used pinesol and water in a bucket to clean, and then went back over it with a cleaned-out bucket of water, and then let it dry (didn't grow up in a home with hardwood floors). We always swiffered between visits. Now, when she's not coming, the pinesol and water method doesn't seem to be cleaning very well - the clean water wash turns dirty rather quickly. What am I doing wrong? Not cleaning mop enough?[/quote]

The water is supposed to turn dirty! That means it’s not on the floor any more. [/quote]

Right, but after you have soaped it, and exchange the water for fresh water, is it still supposed to be dirty?[/quote]

Yeah because you’re rinsing the soap and dirt that’s still on the floor. [/quote]

If you do a rinse with clean water and the water is still clean at the end then that was really an extra rinse because it didn’t do anything. You could totally do an extra rinse if you want to. You can also go over the floor with a towel after the rinse. [/quote]
