To keep the hand-free mop cloth clean, you can follow these steps:
First, daily cleaning steps
Preliminary rinsing
After use, immediately put the mop cloth into clean water to rinse and remove the dust and stains on the surface.
Deep cleaning
Prepare a basin of warm water, add an appropriate amount of laundry detergent or dishwashing liquid, and stir well.
Soak the mop cloth in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes. During this period, you can gently scrub the mop cloth to allow the cleaner to fully penetrate and bubble.
Rinse
Rinse the mop cloth thoroughly with clean water until the water becomes clear, making sure there are no cleaning agents or residues.
Squeeze out the water
Use both hands or a dehydrator to gently squeeze out the water from the mop cloth, avoiding excessive force that may cause deformation or damage to the mop cloth.
Second, special stain treatment
Stubborn stains
For stubborn stains such as oil stains and blood stains, you can first apply detergent or a special cleaner to the stained area, let it stand for a while, and then scrub it.
Mold spot
If the mop cloth has not been used for a long time or has developed mold spots due to being stored in a damp environment, you can add an appropriate amount of white vinegar or bleach to the rinsing water, soak it for a period of time, and then clean it.
Third, drying and storage
Dry
Dry the cleaned mop cloth in a well-ventilated and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent aging and deformation.
Store
After drying, install the mop cloth correctly on the mop handle according to the instructions in the manual, and store it in a dry and well-ventilated place to avoid moisture and bacterial growth.
Fourth, regular maintenance and replacement
Regular cleaning
It is recommended to deeply clean the mop cloth at regular intervals (such as once a week or after each use) to keep it clean and hygienic.
Check for wear and tear
Regularly check the wear and tear of the mop cloth. If any damage, deformation or poor cleaning effect is found, replace it with a new one in time.
Avoid cross-contamination
If mop cloths are used to clean different areas (such as the kitchen, bathroom, etc.), they should be used separately to avoid cross-contamination.
Fifth, Precautions
Use neutral detergent
When cleaning the mop cloth, neutral detergent should be used. Avoid using corrosive cleaners such as strong acids and strong alkalis to prevent damage to the material of the mop cloth.
Avoid applying excessive force
When scrubbing and squeezing out the mop cloth, excessive force should be avoided to prevent damage to the fiber structure of the mop cloth.
Replace in time
If the mop cloth shows severe wear, deformation or poor cleaning effect after long-term use, it should be replaced with a new one in time to ensure the cleaning effect and user experience.
By following the above steps and precautions, you can effectively keep the hand-free mop cloth clean and hygienic and extend its service life.
