Why Vinegar is Your Ultimate Cleaning Solution for Mops and Buckets

For Your Mop Head:
After each use, rinse your mop thoroughly with hot water to remove visible dirt
Fill your bucket with equal parts hot water and white vinegar
Submerge the mop head completely (just like in the image)
Let it soak for 30 minutes to an hour
Agitate occasionally by twisting the handle (creating that satisfying swirl effect)
Rinse thoroughly with clean water
Squeeze out excess moisture and hang to dry completely before storing

For Your Bucket:
Empty all water and rinse out visible debris
Fill halfway with hot water
Add 1-2 cups of white vinegar
Let sit for 30 minutes
Scrub any stained areas with a brush
Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing
Beyond Basic Cleaning: Maintenance Tips
Regular cleaning is important, but so is proper storage. Always store your mop with the head up or hanging to allow complete drying. A damp mop stored in a dark closet is a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
