The floor is meant to be stepped on, and it is easy to get dirt and dirt, in order to keep it clean and tidy. Whether tiled or wooden, they need to be cleaned regularly.
Cleaning floors may seem simple, but the wrong way to do it is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to clean, and prone to stubborn dirt. Even, there will be a "fishy smell" after washing.
Why does the floor smell smell after washing? Today I finally found the reason, and many families have done it wrong.
1. Why does the floor have a "fishy smell" after washing?
1. The mop is damp and moldy
Many families use traditional cotton mops, which also have good cleaning results, but cannot clean the floor thoroughly.
Because after the mop is used up, it still remains in a very wet state. Many people put it in the bathroom without waiting for the mop to dry. A damp mop, coupled with a damp, unventilated environment. It is easy for the mop to become moldy, breeding bacteria, viruses, and odors.
If you directly take a damp and moldy mop to wash the floor, not only will the cleaning effect be poor, but it will even get dirtier and dirtier the more you wash.
Therefore, after everyone has finished using the mop, put it on the balcony or other ventilated place. Only by keeping the mop dry can you avoid mold, bacteria and odors.

In addition to the problem of the mop, the material of the tile may also cause the "fishy smell" of the floor after washing.
If the quality of the tiles is poor, or if it is not an all-porcelain design. Such tiles will have the ability to absorb water, and when we clean this tile, it is easy to produce an "earthy smell".
Therefore, when we buy ceramic tiles, we must pay attention to the brand and quality of ceramic tiles. You get what you pay for, don't ask how high-end, choose a second-tier brand, mid-range quality, so that you can effectively prevent the smell of ceramic tiles.
3. Wash the floor with clean water
Many people wash the floor, in order to save trouble, when mopping the floor, directly use a mop dipped in some water to start wiping.
This can only wipe off the dust on the surface of the floor. For those stubborn dirt, it can't be washed off at all, and it may even get dirtier and dirtier the more you wash it. After washing, it is easy to emit a "fishy smell".
Even if you add detergent, laundry detergent and other laundry items to the water, it still does not achieve the desired effect. In addition, it is necessary to clean it once or twice, otherwise there will be residue of washing liquid on the floor, which is easy to slip.
2. How to effectively clean the floor?
Cleaning the floor is a very frequent housework, and mopping the floor at home is indeed very time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, the most terrible thing is that after working hard for a long time, the cleaning effect has not been achieved.
Especially if you use wood flooring in your home, if you use the wrong method. Not only will it leave an "earthy smell", but it may also contain dirt and dirt.
So, how can we clean the floor quickly and effectively?
When we clean the floor, we only need to add one or two "floor cleaning tablets" to the water. It will quickly melt into the clean water, and then use the mop to stain the water mixed with the cleaning tablets. Wipe the floor a few times with a mop to make it clean and shiny.
Don't look at the floor cleaning tablets are inconspicuous, but they contain super active detergents and stain removal ingredients, which will melt when exposed to water.
It doesn't matter if the home has a tiled floor or a wooden floor, it can be cleaned. In addition, it can also play a role in disinfection and deodorization. After washing, the floor not only does not have an "earthy smell", but even leaves a faint fragrance, and can have a maintenance effect on the floor.
