5 tips for mopping your floor streak-free

5 tips for mopping your floor streak-free

Short answer: streak-free mopping comes down to four habits. Use microfibre, stick to plain water or a mild pH-neutral cleaner, start at the far side of the room and work back towards the door, then lift the leftover moisture with a dry cloth. Your floor dries fast and there's nothing left behind to dry into streaks.

Mopping floors can feel like a thankless job. With the iZi-Clean Turbo Twin Mop set and the iZi-Click Mop it gets a lot easier. These five tips make the difference.

1. Why microfibre?

Microfibre is very good at lifting dirt and marks rather than smearing them, and it leaves your floor streak-free. The fine fibres reach into the surface and clean it properly. Always start with a clean cloth for the best result. Take a look at the iZi-Clean Turbo Twin Mop.

Clean cloth, clean floor

A soaked cloth just pushes the dirt around. Swap it in good time and you'll finish sooner, with a better result.

2. Do you need a cleaning product?

With microfibre, plain water usually does the job. If you'd rather use something, pick a mild, pH-neutral cleaner that suits your type of floor. Steer clear of harsh products, because those are often what leaves the streaks in the first place.

3. Which direction should you mop in?

Start at the side of the room furthest from the door and work back towards the way out. That way you never tread on the bit you've just done. Long, even strokes with light pressure give the best result.

4. Which mop head goes where?

Use the flat head on open floors and the round head for corners and edges. With the Turbo Twin Mop you swap between them in one click. For a quick dry going-over in between, the iZi-Click Mop is ideal.

Drying off is the last step

A floor left to dry on its own dries with the dirty water still in it. A quick dry-off stops streaks and slips.

5. Why dry the floor afterwards?

Lift the leftover moisture with a clean, dry iZi-Clean Wonder Cloth, clicked onto the iZi-Click Mop if you like. Let the floor dry properly before you walk on it again. That's how you avoid both streaks and a slippery surface.

What to take away from this

Use microfibre, work in the right direction and dry the floor off afterwards. Five small habits, and your floors look their best again. Spare cloths are easy to top up with the flat refill and the round refill.
