5 great items for healthy floors

Add as a preferred source on Google

Floor cleaning is a constant chore because floors are constantly dirty. Creating healthy floors means attending to this cleaning need frequently. If we don’t maintain our floors often enough, the job become that much harder because of the build up of debris and stains.

One thing we should always keep in mind is that we cannot effectively clean our floors with dirty cleaning tools. Changing mop pads frequently will allow us to create that sparkling clean look and healthy state we desire.

Here are some great options for our floor cleaning needs.

If our floors are really dirty, they may need to be scrubbed. Yet, there is no need for us to get down on hands and knees if this is the case. These Turbo Mops scrub pads fit with Bon, Libman, Rubbermade and other microfiber mops. There are five, heavy duty, 18 inch pads. These can tackle dried on tough stains on our floors, including concrete and tile floors.
For Bona, Bruce, Rubbermaid, Libman and more, these pads will work wet or dry. They attach to mops that are 14 to 18 inches wide. The extra thick loops will pick up pet hair, dirt, and debris easily. Best yet, these pads are machine washable. We no longer have to keep purchasing disposable pads, which is better on our pocketbook and the environment. These work great on most surfaces, including tile, laminate wood, hardwoods, and vinyl.
These work great with Swiffer mops. The pack contains two pads, and each of these pads can replace 100 disposable pads. When one gets dirty, just place the other one on the mop and toss the dirty one into the wash. They are thick and can soak up liquid and debris easily without spreading it around. These pads work on pet hair, dirt, and more. The fabric is durable and there is piping around the edges to protect surfaces from scuffing and scratching.
Dirty floors don’t just occur in our house, but outside as well. When we have an exterior floor such as tile or concrete, we may need more power to get these surfaces clean. This brush cleaning tool attaches to an outdoor hose and allows water power, along with the brush, to reach those tight and tricky areas. No electricity or batteries needed, the brush does all the action.
Floor cleaning is a physically demanding activity, even with these devices and mop heads. That is why making sure our back is stable and protected is a good idea. This adjustable back support will provide that, making sure we keep correct back posture while we work. The comfortable support can help reduce the pain of an already upset lower back. This may allow us to do activity we would not be able to endure without it.

Although we probably will not like floor cleaning much more than before, at least our effort will be lessened with these great items. With the ability to always have a clean mop head handy, we will likely be willing to tackle this chore more frequently and that will also cut down on our workload.
