Did you really know how to sweep and mop? These tasks may seem easy, but when you think about it, there’s often room for small, trivial mistakes that prevent you from achieving a perfect result. Here we’ll learn how to sweep and mop to ensure you get the results you want, every time!
How to sweep
1
The first step in sweeping is to inspect the vacuum cleaner. This step is important to avoid any unforeseen problems and thus avoid unnecessary return trips. At this stage, you need to look at your vacuum cleaner, check that the hose is not blocked and that the vacuum cleaner is working properly.
2
The second step is to make sure you have all the accessories you need before you start cleaning.
3
Once you’ve got your vacuum cleaner up and running, it’s time to think about the rooms you want to clean. Once you know where you need to vacuum, you can start putting things away and disposing of garbage. You can also take this opportunity to locate the electrical outlets we’ll be using when we sweep.
4
Once we’ve tidied up the surfaces to be cleaned, we can now start vacuuming. To ensure perfect cleaning, it’s important to push the vacuum cleaner in a straight line, so as to create lines. To begin, we plug in the vacuum cleaner.
Next, always start by cleaning along walls, under furniture and other hard-to-reach places. To make sure you sweep well, you can change the vacuum cleaner’s tips to reach all the corners. Once the corners are well vacuumed, move on to the walls and ceiling. They may already be clean, but it’s important to always check that there’s no dirt in these areas before tackling the floors. So, after that, we finish the room we’re working in with the floor.
This process is repeated as many times as there are rooms in the house to be cleaned.

Finally, the last step to complete the vacuuming process is to check the capacity of the recovery bag, so you can anticipate when you’ll need to change the bag.
How to mop (commonly called a mop)
1
The first step is to prepare the mop. This means making sure that the mop is ready to use, and that it’s not soiled. We also need to make sure we have all the tools required for the job, such as the cleaning product, the bucket of water if we’re using a traditional mop, etc. Once we’ve got everything, we can go to the customer. Of course, we also need to make sure that we have the tools to sweep the floor, which is a preliminary task to mopping.
2
The second step is to clear the floor. This means removing chairs, furniture and so on, so that we can get everywhere. Once the floor is clear, we can start mopping.
3
However, before washing the floor, it’s very important to let the people present know that we’re washing the floor, to avoid accidents. What’s more, notifying customers ensures an even more beautiful result, since there will be no footprints on the freshly washed floor.
4
Now we can start cleaning the floor. To do this, we fill our bucket with water and the appropriate cleaning solution. The water should be warm and full enough to completely submerge the mop head.
Next, soak the mop in hot water until the cleaning product has been absorbed into the mop. If the mop is stiff, soak it for a few minutes for the first time to soften it.
Once the mop has been soaked in the cleaning solution, it’s important to let it drain. Draining or wringing out the mop prevents damage to surfaces, especially wood floors.
If you own a mop (a Swiffer for example), you start by moistening the cleaning cloth. It’s important not to get it too wet, so if there’s excess water on the cover, you can wring it out. Next, assemble the mop and prepare for use. Finally, just before mopping, you’ll need to dampen the floor to facilitate mopping. To do this, you can fill a spray bottle with a cleaning solution such as washing-up liquid, white vinegar or ammonia.
5
To actually mop the floor, we start by dividing up our work surface, so that we mop one section at a time. If you’re working in a room with tight spaces, we always start with the hard-to-reach areas and end with the middle. To clean, push the mop back and forth in straight lines. Repeat several times over the same surface to ensure that all dirt is removed.
