Mops will continue to pick up dust as long as the mop is clean. However, when the mop is already dirty it won’t be very ideal to continue using it, because it will just move the dirt around while never cleaning your floor. This is actually the perfect time for you to clean the mop. There are durable mops that can be placed in the washing machine and it can run through a gentle cycle. On the other hand, other mops will wear out if placed in the washing machine. When your mop is already dirty, stop using it and start cleaning it. Here are some tips on how to clean your mop when it is already dirty.

• Get a pail and fill it in with one to two gallons of warm water. You also need to add some laundry detergent to the water and mix it by stirring continuously.

• Detach the head of the mop from its frame. There are some mops that need to be untied to remove the head while there are others where you only need to slip the head off the metal frame. No matter which type of mop you own, you need to detach the head, because that will be the part of the mop that you will be cleaning.

• Put the head of the mop on the pail of water with laundry detergent. Stir the solution. Let it stand for an hour, so that the dust will precipitate. Once the solution become black or dirty you need to dump it and replace it with a new solution of warm water and laundry detergent. Let the mop head stay in the solution for another minutes.

• Rinse the mop thoroughly using warm water. Once done, you should rinse it again using cold water and squeeze out excess moisture. You can hang it to dry afterwards.

Once your mop is perfectly clean, you will be able to use it again. Mops have to be cleaned every now and then so that the floor can also be cleaned properly. Cleaning a mop is not difficult, and this will save you money from buying a new mop frequently.
