How to Mop Without Sticky Floors: A Simple Guide

Sticky floors after mopping usually mean too much cleaner in the water. Use the right amount, change the water when it turns grey and let the floor dry naturally.

Why floors turn sticky

Liquid floor cleaners are easy to overpour. Extra product that does not get fully wiped away dries into a film, which grabs dust and feels tacky.

The fix: measure properly

Pre-measured Floor Cleaner Sheets remove the guesswork. Half a sheet for a half-filled bucket, a full sheet for a larger one. They dissolve in about ten seconds and leave no sticky streaks.

Step by step

1. Sweep or vacuum first.
2. Half fill a bucket with water and drop in half a sheet.
3. Swirl until it dissolves.
4. Wring the mop well and mop in sections.
5. Change the water when it looks grey.

Extra tips

• Wring harder than you think; wet floors dry slowly and show marks.
• Use a clean cloth, not a dirty mop head.
• For spots, drop a small piece on the spot with a little water and wipe.
