Cleaning the floor is easy- go for a vacuum and sweep it! If you still stick to this old-school rule, this is why your floor isn’t shiny anymore! Do you want to clean every texture of your floor for slip and fall prevention keeping it polished as it’s new? 

If yes, then what’s the first step in floor cleaning? The first step of floor cleaning- picking up the right tools is what’s going to decide the fate of your floor! 




Equipment or Tools You Need 

Skim through the tools you need for cleaning the floor. We have listed everything you need! 

1. The Vacuum Cleaner


For cleaning the floor, the very first piece of equipment is the vacuum cleaner. This one can serve you a better result than a broom or a dustpan. But in some cases, broom and dustpan can save the day for you too if you are doing the lite cleaning job. 

There are several types of the vacuum cleaner. The most popular ones are the canister, upright, and handheld vacuum cleaner. 

  • The canister vacuum cleaner works amazingly on hard surfaces while you will need a deep cleaner or carpet cleaner if you have carpeted floor. 
  • If your house has a large carpeted area, an upright vacuum cleaner will be ideal. 
  • For more than one-story buildings, carrying the cleaner is made easy with portable handheld vacuum cleaners. 

  • We recommend you to settle for particular pet vacuum cleaners if you have pets in your house leaving hair here and there.

  • For more features with technology, robotic vacuum cleaners will make your job easier than the other ones. 

2. The Right Mop 

The second piece of equipment for the cleaning job is to get the right mop. For dealing with floors that have a lot of texture, classic string mops are the savior. 

If you have a smooth floor, pick up a sponge mop. To know more about flooring cleaning mops, you can visit TidyFloor; they product vast knowledge on which one fits best for your needs! 

3. Mop Buckets

Any mop bucket will do the job, we agree. But wringing can be a difficult job. So, settle for the mop bucket that has built-in wringers if you are using a string mop. For the sponge mop, we found a bucket with a handle to be the ideal deal. 

4. The Cleaner 

No doubt there are hundreds of cleaners in the market. However, the floor type has so many things to do with the cleaner you choose. For wooden floors, go for hardwood floor cleaner. Stick to the specific floor cleaners for the type of floor you have. 

There are Laminate floor cleaners, Vinyl floor cleaners, and Ceramic Tile floor cleaners. Also, you will find Natural Stone floor cleaners, Organic floor cleaners, and Chemical floor cleaners, in the market. 

You can decide not to go for the commercial ones too! Make a DIY floor cleaner at home. These are less expensive and yet work just fine! 

Picking up the right products might confuse you as there are tons of products to choose from. But if you want your expensive flooring to be nice and shiny, you can’t skip this step. Don’t forget to do a little research on which product suits your floor the best. And start mopping!
