Homeowners can call on a range of handy cleaning tips when it comes to maintaining kitchen floors, an expert has said.Janice Anderssen, decor and DIY specialist for Women24.com, notes that ceramic tile floors can be easily cleaned using nothing but warm water from the kitchen tap.However, she also suggested that the floor should be vacuumed or swept beforehand to remove any loose soil or grit.In addition, Ms Anderssen urged homeowners to never use a sponge mop to clean ceramic tile floors.She said It will pull the dirt right into the grout tracks. This makes the floor more difficult to clean.Instead, it was claimed that a micro-fibre mop is best as it will pick up all the dirt that a sponge mop leaves behind.Hardwood floors, on the other hand, can be cleaned using boiling water and two teabags, Ms Anderssen advised.The tannic acid in tea creates a beautiful shine for hardwood floors. Let two teabags steep in the boiling water for a few minutes. Pour the tea into a bucket. Take a soft cloth and wring it out in the tea, she added.
