The key to using cleaning tools correctly is to choose the corresponding broom and cleaning liquid based on floor material (such as wooden floors or tiles). When sweeping, push from corners toward the exit; mopping should follow the grain to prevent standing water. Vacuum cleaner filters should be cleaned regularly to maintain suction, and it is strictly forbidden to mix different cleaning agents.
Matching Floors with Cleaning Tools
Choosing the right cleaning tool is the primary condition for protecting home decor. Wooden floors are relatively fragile; it is recommended to use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment or a slightly damp fiber mop with very low water content. Tile floors can be cleaned with a sponge mop and appropriate neutral detergent to effectively handle oil stains. Never use chemicals in a prominent place without testing to avoid material damage.
- Wooden floors: suitable for fiber mops, reducing moisture penetration.
- Tiles: suitable for sponge mops, high cleaning efficiency.
- Gaps: use a small brush or vacuum nozzle attachment.
- Remove large debris and clutter from the floor first.
- Confirm if the mop cleaner is suitable for the target material.
- Wring the mop until it doesn't drip before use.
Operating Rules for Vacuums and Brooms
Vacuum cleaner filters are the soul of maintaining suction. It is recommended to check the dust bin capacity before every cleaning to avoid motor overheating due to overload. When using a vacuum on a carpet, move at a slow speed, allowing the brush head to effectively suck out dust from deep within the fibers. When sweeping, concentrate the garbage into a dustpan to avoid kicking up dust.
- Regularly check if the filter is saturated.
- Avoid excessive force when sweeping to prevent kicking up dust.
- Clean and dry tools after use.
- Check if the power cord and machine body are intact.
- Move the vacuum slowly to cover all areas.
- Clean the filter and dust chamber after use.
Safety Guidelines for Using Cleaning Agents
It is strictly forbidden to mix bleach with acidic cleaners (such as toilet detergents), as this creates highly dangerous toxic gas. When using any cleaning agent, you must work in a ventilated environment and wear rubber gloves. Dilution ratios for bleach should follow the manufacturer's label or actual dirt conditions; undiluted bleach should be stored in a cool, dark place.
Before using bleach, please first understand Method for using bleach from the Centre for Health Protection(opens in a new window), and operate according to the product label.
- It is strictly forbidden to mix different cleaning agents.
- Open windows for ventilation while using.
- Thoroughly rinse hands after touching cleaning agents.
- Read the product instruction label.
- Dilute with cold water according to the suggested ratio.
- Test cleaning agent reactions on an inconspicuous area first.
