Dip the mop in the mixture, wring it out carefully to avoid excess water, then wash the floor as usual.
Work in stages and avoid covering the same area repeatedly. As it dries, the surface will gradually take on a cleaner, brighter appearance, without streaks or a sticky feeling.
Bonus: For tougher stains or heavily soiled grout, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of warm water to form a thick paste. Apply it to the soiled areas, scrub gently with a soft brush or an old toothbrush, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and then apply a vinegar solution with fabric softener to finish cleaning.
