We recommend using the Maker's Mop for its removable premium microfiber mop pads, perfect for easy cleaning and reusability. Here’s how to clean your floors effectively:

Choose Your Cleaning Method: Fill a spray bottle with your preferred floor cleaning solution (see DIY recipes below). Start from the farthest corner of the room and work towards the exit to avoid stepping on freshly cleaned areas.
