Mopping is a cleaning process that involves using a mop to remove dirt and stains from floors. A mop typically consists of a long handle attached to a head made of absorbent material, such as cotton or microfiber. The mop is often used with water and a cleaning solution to effectively clean various types of flooring, including tile, hardwood, and laminate. To mop a floor, one usually starts by sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose debris. Then, the mop is dipped into the cleaning solution, wrung out to avoid excess water, and moved across the floor in a back-and-forth motion. This helps to lift and trap dirt, leaving the surface clean and sanitized.
