If your floors have deep grooves in them, use a bristle brush. Dip it into the water, and brush the floor to leave it clean. Then, towel dry it when you have finished.
Tips
- The more loose dirt you remove before beginning, the more efficiently the rest of the job will go.
- Run a fan during the entire operation to keep moisture from staying on too long. This will lessen the amount of time you will need to keep others from walking on the floor again.
