I’m a traveller & here are my tips for cleaning wooden floors & the Aldi bargain you must be using to get them sparkling
AN IRISH traveller has taken to social media to share her simple hack that will get your wooden floors sparkling.
So if you want your floords to come out smelling fresh and looking clean, you need to give this simple cleaning tip a try.
Heidi McDongh Clee is a mum-of-two who posts on TikTok under the username @h.mccc.
Heidi is a traveller who regularly posts cleaning videos and often shares her top tips and tricks to the video sharing platform.
In a recent clip shared to the social media app, Heidi uploaded her clip with the caption ‘This is how I do my floors. It’s worked well so far, and it’s not discoloured them or made them lift, so so far so good, ’
She said: “So I was meant to be doing the outside of my windows today but I had to do a rethink because it’s raining – that horrible misty rain that is so annoying.
“So instead I thought I’d show you how I do these floors.
“We had real wooden floors put down in the house and when we got them done I was told not to wet them too much because they’ll split and rise and whatever.
“I’ve been doing this the whole time and so far, so good.
“I won’t use bleach on the floor because it wil discolour it, so I use disinfectant instead.”
Heidi explained that she uses a Zoflora disinfectant and an all purpose cleaner from Aldi.
She added: “I do small sections at a time because I don’t want it to split and rise.
“I wash them off and then I scrub them with the grain and then against the grain, to try and really clean them up.
“I dry them all off quickly with a cloth and then I ring the cloth out and then go back over it again and get everything that’s in between the cracks.
“It’s worked so far, I have no splits in the floor.
“That’s all done.”
Heidi’s cleaning video has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up 15.5k views.
It has 485 likes and 13 comments.
Social media users appreciated Heidi’s helpful tips and were eager to reflect this in the comments.
One person said: “Spotless.”
Another added: “Amazing job well done.”
A third commented: “How do travellers clean the way you do when you have kids? I clean my house everyday multiple times and it still looks awful but, traveller houses always look gleaming ” to which Heidi replied “thank you that’s so nice, I clean when they’re at school ”
Whilst someone else asked: “What cloth do you use to dry it? Will a tea towel be okay?” to which Heidi explained “I use the yellow Costco ones, but any will do the job as long as you can ring it loads.”
