So you have a mop, bucket, and a wringer.
1) You fill the bucket with water and floor cleaner (say... Pine Sol or whatever). 2) You dip the mop in the bucket, wring out the excess water, mop an area of the floor. Now you have a dirty mop. 3) Repeat step 2 until floor is clean Something doesn't seem right about this process. |

Fail How to mop Dump water on floor. Slosh around with said mop. Squeegee floor dry. This is how restaurants should do it.  At home i pick up the water at step 3 with a mop. always pulling towards you, starting in the clean corner and ending on the dirty side. Three wipes a flip, three more wipes and wring the mop. Change the water as it get dirty. |

This is good, but substitute bleach for pinesol. |

Hot water in a bucket - splash of bleach. Don the rubber gloves, grab a sponge and wash the sink, then the shower then the floor. Pour the whole bucket into the terlit and scrub. DONE!

Quoted: Kinda like taking a bath. It just doesn't make sense. Actually... baths do work. Essentially whats going on is, as you bathe, and you use a sponge or one of those wierd fluffy things that seem to be made out of the same plastic material used for onion sacks (though more fine)... your scraping loose dirt on your body. The soap and water completely covers your body, allowing for oils and dirt to get "knocked loose" from you. These oils and dirt then get suspended into the water.. but successfully removed off your body. It all dissolves into the water, essentially. As you step out of the back, a towel is used to dry up. If used appropriately, it also aids in the cleaning. Any dirty water still left on your body, is promplty dabbed up... until gone. The filth is then transferred successfuly to the towel. However, showers are much more ideal. If one insists on baths, one way to make it more ideal... is to take a real quick rinse only shower (ie, no soap lathering). |

Certain areas in a hospital or clean room might be different. |

Use that for a few months then use a real mop. Watch the floor change colors. Profit... |
