How do you properly mop a floor?

There are a handful of mops available and many of them can be effective- sponge mop, string mop, or a full mop system. It is usually up to user preference which mop you choose. One of the most important things about mopping is to ensure all crumbs, pet hair, and other particles are off of your floor before you get your floor wet with your mop. Depending on how dirty your floor is to start, you may need to do a couple run-throughs of sweeping and vacuuming to get all these particles up off your floor. Once you start mopping, be sure to fully wring out your mop to use as little water as possible. Work in sections, starting at the back of the room and working your way out of that space.
