The cleaning ingredient that cleans "cuts thru grease" is sodium carbonate (not bicarbonate) aka washing soda. You can buy it in bulk, it's not expensive, and you just add 2 tbsp to your water, with a small squirt of dawn blue dishwash liquid.
Is this the Borax powder???
@@amlatina24 nope. Borax is a whole other thing. Washing soda is popularly sold under arm and armor washing soda. It's in a cardboard box like borax . You get like 7lbs for 6$
Do you still have to rinse the floor after?…
@@ekbkjk777 yes. It's pretty alcaline and will eat thru stuff. It's important to read up on cleaning chemistry. It's both fascinating and practical! ☺️
DO NOT USE LAUNDRY DETERGENT ON FLOORS unless you are going to completely rinse your flooring afterward. Laundry detergent is meant to be used in a much larger quantity of water and and rinsed off of clothing. It will leave a film on your floor and can ruin it.
Laundry detergent leaves a film and leaves the floors slippery .
I agree. As a professional housekeeper, I can’t believe some of the stuff I see on KZhead. Different floors can be damaged by using the wrong ingredients.
Yes totally agree. This is absurd and a true reflection of how much people don't understand about the cleaning products they use. And my goodness do not put this on your wood floors and NEVER alcohol on your wood! This is so sad, people ruining their floors!
@@joanngreen8747 but she’s advertising to use a laundry pod.
El agua caliente enrrosca las tiras del trapeador
Not to add to the criticism, but I would not add Tea Tree Oil to your mop water if you have pets as it is super dangerous if your pets ingest Tea tree oil.
She doesn’t have pets but thank you for the tip.
I vacuum and then use my Shark Steam Mop. Sanitizers and cleans all at once. NO chemicals!
You do know you have to leave a steam mop in one place for several minutes before it’s actually sanitized
I do the same. The Shark Steam Mop leaves my floor sparkling clean.
@@susancavanaugh5843I think she knows how to use it
After watching some of your videos, I feel really inspired to get my butt into gear and clean my apartment! Thank you
That detergent will leave sticky residue unless rinsed with a lot of water, the sticky residue will attract dirt and bacteria quickly! Very bad idea.
Wood floors. I don't mop my hardwood with a wet mop. I just use a damp cloth flat style mop. But you have motivated me to try this.
DO NOT use a laundry pod on a wood floor. Period.
Why?
Thank you for choosing O-Cedar! Happy Cleaning!
Your not going to address the elephant in the room? Only use recommended floor cleaners, as soaps are made for specific purposes????????
People are going to nail you to the wall on this one!! Brace for it!!
Wow, not hating on you at all, but this is a whole chemistry experiment! 😂
I own a cleaning business and I would never do this.
I agree as a housekeeper 100%!
@Amanda Purkey it depends on the type of finish on the wood.
Can you recommend something to clean stains left by bath mat in acrylic bathtub? Thanks in advance!!
Two cups wht vinegar and 2 cups hot water spray bottle @@gerahuey3706
@@gerahuey3706right? I’ve tried everything
No detergent, and NO alcahol EVER, on food floors!!!
The alcohol makes moisture on wood floor dry faster. Look at the ingredients on wood floor cleaners
I have stone floors and it does wonders I would like to try pods method
I have the older O’Cedar system and use it daily as I have an animal sanctuary. The water gets dirty very quickly so it’s changed frequently. I really don’t understand how the water stays clean though? Once you put your dirty mop in to rinse it doesn’t it dirty the clean water? Can you do a detailed tutorial on that for those of us nonmartha stewart types who are baffled by the easiest cleaning tasks? Thank you! 🙀
Also, I use boiling water and/or white vinegar.
Laundry detergent is meant for clothes washing in lots of water and rinsing after. Just use the proper soap for your floor people, it's not hard. This Tiktok influence is ridiculous
I've seen dish washing pods being used for floors...and walls & cabinets!!!
@@cherylwawr716that’s what I’ve been using. It doesn’t seem right to use laundry soap on my wood floors, but dishwashers liquid pods seems less harsh. Idk, maybe I’m reading too much into it lol
I have all three types of floors. I have the new oCedar mop system. I’m glad to know about the alcohol because my neighbor told me to use vinegar and my floor doesn’t look as nice as it once did
You may have broken down the finish on your wood floor. If I were in that situation, I would first try cleaning it with Murphy's oil soap, then put on a wood-floor rejuvenator. Rejuvenate’s wood floor restorer is one. It's less expensive than having the floor refinished.
@@edennis8578 I do have the rejuvenator. I’ll try the murphys oil soap this time. I know the finish is ruined. Makes me sick. Thanks for the advice!!
Wouldn’t the alcohol cut the shine on the wood floor?
I’ve got 1 of them but if your mopping a big spot you have to keep adding water would regular tide work I don’t use the pod’s
Thank you ❣️ 🥰😊🥰
I have the same mop and I have all wood floors, kitchen is tile, bathroom is raised tile
I tried it and unfortunately it left my floor tiles streaky.😢 But maybe my tile floor is not suitable for this. It smelled fantastic and the mop system is simply great ♥️♥️♥️
I have a wood floor and a old , old cedar mop. I love min. Thanks for the tip 🌸
Yes I do have hardwood floors.
Looks good
Is the water separated in the bottom chamber of the bucket? I saw one and it didn't look like it to me.
Great hack, thanks👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Terrible hack. Don't do this.
Wait, but doesn't the dirt that u spin off go into the clean water that is under the clean water bucket?
No.....cuando llenas el depósito es de agua limpia y cuando esprimes se va abajo del tanque de agua limpia....pero está tina no la recomiendo se acaba muy rápido el agua del depósito para trapear .....yo la regrese pork me quita tiempo andar asiendo eso
It doesnt but its very small i just use the original ocedar mop and have a second bucket for my clean water
@@FatPeanutsFat para mí eso no funciona usar 2 baldes de agua ......en lugar de ayudarme me da más trabajo.....yo limpio casas y esa no me ayuda ...yo solo y únicamente uso el original y con ese tengo..
It has to be hot to dissolve the plastic holding the detergent....wonder what that does to the floor.....don't most floor cleaners cut through grease??????I'm thinking they do or you can add a couple drops of dawn for when it's built up grease that doesn't come with Nirmal cleaning
Bleech,gets my white floor white 🤷🏼♀️
I have pergo floors what's the best thing to clean it with
I have been using liquid laundry detergent and bleach to mop my floors for years now and it works great.
I only have liquid soap,,,which includes dish-laundry-hand.. How much should I use on my laminate floor?
Wat you do to dispose of used water Ned to clean the bucket? I'm only have one ✋ Ned more information tks.
These is really helpful, thank you.
I have both floors. I hope this works good on mine. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us!! 🤗🌹❣️🌷
Just seems like a residue would be left behind😒
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I have vinyl floors. I have been using a bissell steam, vacuum / mop. Sometimes I use a sponge mop. I’m curious about using a laundry soap pod to clean my floors.
Hi how are you doing?
Janice, your steam mop is much more effective. I've found detergent attracts dirt on your vinyl floors and sometimes gets slick if you have a spill. Good luck!
Don't do it. It will ruin your floor's, especially vinyl. It'll leave a film, which attracts dirt, dust & debris, make them stick & it'll be very difficult to clean afterwards.
You shouldn’t ever use it with a vacuum mop because it can clog up the machine. Only use cleaner specifically for it. You can use this method with a sponge mop, just go over with just plain water after you rinse.
@@islandpersuasion4690 thanks I will stick with the products made for cleaning my floor.
I HAVE A CERAMIC FLOOR , CAN I USE THE POD. TY U BREN
That’s concentrated. That’s a ton of soap. How do you get the soap off the floor? Unless ..is this for a really nasty move out or something?
This is absurd and a true reflection of how much people don't understand about the cleaning products they use. And my goodness do not put this on your wood floors and NEVER alcohol on your wood! This is so sad, people ruining their floors! If you are compelled to use this in tile, you must rinse it off.
I bought that tub and returned it...the water in the tank runs out very quickly...and I clean houses it takes a lot of time to pour out the water and refill it
What would you use on shiny floor tiles, that one dry there isn't any streaks etc
I used to work at a convenience store with those shiny tiles and we were told to only use the blue concentrate that was also what we used in the windshield washer buckets by the pumps. So I would recommend picking up a cheap jug of the blue windshield washer fluid, probably the summer version because I am not sure what they add to make the winter versions not freeze so easy. If it is just a type of alcohol it should be fine though.
Awesome
So glad you like it
Yes I got wood floors
Well…I bought my o cedar system….used a pod and the steaming water and a bit of Lysol…and the first time….the water was black…yuk! I’ve been mopping all wrong! The next times not so bad….my floors aren’t sticky…..I enjoy mopping now…..😊and not for nothing I really waited too long to get the o cedar mop system….
CAN I USE THE POD ON CEEAMIC TILE
How much water does the clean water reservoir hold?
Ignore rude comments , you have good ideas
Where do you buy that cedar mop.I use a fuller brush mop.Thank you by the way,loved your videos.
Wal-Mart, Lowe's ect.
@@dawndrew8313Thanks so much. 😊
Hi Diana, I am wondering if you have any recommendations for air purifiers? I have a 4 month old and two cats. Cleaning is 24/7 and I need help!
Hey! I have a son with allergies and i have to medifyRx air purifiers that i purchased from amazon. I also have some sort of tower air purifier from walmart that uses a 3m filter as well. They seem to cut down a lot of the airborne stuff. I also VACUUM with a shark HEPA vacuum every day even though i have hard floors. That seems to help us as well. Good luck!
Get rid of the cats that would make a big difference
@@tiffanysgottimetoday4589 looks like someone needs a pet to show them some love in that cold heart
@@italianprincess5046 why would I want something that poops 💩 and pee pee in a corner in a box in my house?making it smell stinky😏 sits its bottom on my couch next no me?

How alcohol makes water dry faster?
What kind of tile is that?
I love this mop. It's just to short. Ouch
This is Janet and I have to agree with you. It just need it to be a few inches taller! I use a vacuum mop instead and beats using a mop!
Who washes their floor with just socks on?
Me. Or barefoot!
I’ll stick to Pine-Sol thank you
I loved this video. Can I use this mop on a laminate floor?
This mop is the best thing on the world. Lol. Had my bucket for 5 yrs. It’s amazing.
Can use it on any floor that lets you.
I use 1/4 bottle Clean Freak
Same
Think of all the lives you improve with your great tips ! Way to go 😃 !
Thank you so much! 😃
More importantly... Think of all the pets that could die after licking laundry detetgent off their paws!
Will the laundry detergent leave linoleum sticky?
Yes! Laundry detergent is made to be completely rinsed off and will otherwise leave film and possible ruin to flooring
Yes, I can't imagine this being completely rinsed off
I've tried that and the washing soda and my floors are left so sticky and gross feeling. How do you prevent that
Not using the pod. It’s way to concentrated. If anything she should put it in a bottle with water and let it dissolve. Then add a little bit of that solution to your mop water with a disinfectant. Tide doesn’t disinfect
Use less detergent or washing soda and rinse after.
If not wood rinse w vinegar , pods would be hard to rinse clean
Thanks … I was wondering what to use to degrease my floors.
Read the floor cleaners at the dollar store or Walmart......pods are for clothes not floors.
@@anointedcountrygirl well these floors were done long before I bought my home and whoever installed definitely wasn’t a professional and they are just cheap laminate and sticky tiles. The sticky tiles in my bathrooms and kitchen you don’t dare walk on if they are wet or if you are getting out of the bath because you will fall and bust yourself.
No don't use laundry detergent, you absolute fools.
I have stone floor. And I absolutely hate it lol. It’s textured. Beautiful floor but I can’t stand it. In the foyer it’s much more texture and so hard to mop
Go to the steam mop.
Steam/ mop
I have tile floors
I recently got one, and hate it. My first issue is with the mop. IDK if I just got a defective one, but when I extend the shaft, it won't lock. This results in it collapsing as I'm mopping the floor. My second issue is with the spinning wringer. It doesn't wring out the water very well. The mop is way too wet when I use it and leaves water spots all over the place. Worst mop and wringer I have ever owned.
It sounds like you need to initiate a return. We haven’t had any of those issues with ours.
Wood 😊
Expensive way to clean your floor. Floor cleaner is more economical.
Having isopropyl alcohol on your floors is a bit of a fire hazard, isn't it?
Whatever happened to just using SOAP AND WATER AN ELBOW ?
what about laminate or linoleum floor
Works for that too👍
My laminate is waterproof. Most laminates are not. You don't want to soak them. Damp mop is better. Linoleum can handle the water.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe Thank you! 👍👍👍
Whys that you wouldn't do that ?
Just use a regular mop, with a mop, that you can wring out without touching the top, and a regular bucket, and add a laundry pod to it. I've been doing this, for awhile now. That mop bucket looks like a pain the arse, to deal with. No thanks.
The finger is annoying and not everyone can afford to use a pod as they are expensive. When I had children I was cleaning almost daily now as a senior well its still almost daily. Back to serching.
You can use a small amount of liquid dish soap and hot water. Rinse after (failed to mention that part in the video).
This makes your floors super sticky! 😢
All those chemicals! No thanks.
Wood
Please stop this insanity. I really thought you had better practices.
Use a metal FUNNEL to pour hot 🥵 water into that hole! And hot water and rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) on wood floors?? NOPE.
🤣😳🥺😫 alcohol? etc.? 👎
Please, don’t ever really do this!!!
You don't want babies or animal's crawling or walking on this floor. Laundry pods are unsafe for both!!
This is toxic for house with pets 😞
That’s not a mop !
My goodness this is horrible advice.
STONE KITCHEN FLOOL
Enough with the finger and hand gestures
Lol 😆😆 I read this right as I was staring at her pointed finger.
Who mops on socks ? I bet you they totally smell worst than any toilet wet rag. Moping on socks. Lol
