Woman's 'genius' hack for sparkling floors without constant dirty mop water
Those who use mops to clean their floors will know too well how the water you're using can become dirty really quickly. If you only have one bucket that you keep dunking back in to, you're just spreading that dirt back onto the floor.
On the flip side, if you keep changing the water and adding in detergent to make it clean, it'll cost you even more money. With people still facing the cost of living crisis, one thing that can help is using less hot water and cleaning products.
Luckily, one woman has shared a 'mind-blowing' cleaning hack which ensures your floor comes out sparkly clean each time.
You'll never use dirty water to clean your floors again
She placed a bucket with fresh water next to the spinner (tiktok/samina_iltaf)Samina Iltaf, who posts cleaning tips and reviews on her TikTok page @samina_iltaf to her 33.4k followers, shared a video where she showed off the savvy trick.
The content creator showed a wide Vileda bucket, with a spin function for her mop, which gets rid of the excess water.

Normally, the dirty excess would drop straight down into the bucket, and you'd then have to dip your mop back into the now-mucky water.
But instead, she placed a separate bucket with clean water into the wide bucket – essentially separating the dirty from the clean water.
That means when she spins the mop to get rid of the excess dirty water, it stays separate from the clean bucket.
People said the hack was 'genius'
People hadn't thought of it before (tiktok/samina_iltaf)Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: "Instead of mixing the mop into dirty water after every use I used a small bucket filled with warm clean water and floor cleaner.
"Once the area of the floor is moped nicely, I would then rinse out any dirty water left that I used in the first round.
"I then go onto using the clean water washing the mop ready for round two, then rinsing it clean. This becomes less dirty as you can see the results are shown in the video."
People in the comment section were amazed by Samina's results, with one person saying: "Brilliant hack!" and another simply saying: "This is GENIUS!".
A third added: "Makes so much sense".
Many were wondering why they hadn't thought of this sooner, with one person saying: "So simple, why have I never thought of this? Will be doing this from now on, off I go to clean my floors."
"Wow this is amazing," adding another.
