FAQ:
Q: Why use dish soap and vinegar?
A: Dish soap cuts through grease and grime, while vinegar disinfects and breaks down mineral buildup and odors.
Q: Can I use bleach instead?
A: While bleach is effective, it can damage mop fibers over time. Vinegar is safer and gentler for routine cleaning.
Q: How often should I clean my mop?
A: Ideally after every 2–3 uses, or once a week if used regularly.
Q: What if my mop still smells bad after cleaning?
A: Add baking soda and soak for a longer time, or replace the mop head if it’s too far gone.
