In the clip, they revealed how to ensure that every time you mop the floors, you use clean water.<\/p>\n

They said to add a small bucket of clean water to your mop bucket so that the “dirty water goes underneath”.<\/p>\n

“Now each time you dip the mop you’re using fresh clean water,” they said.<\/p>\n

This means that when you clean the floor and ring out the mop, the dirty water is going into the main tub.<\/p>\n

Then, when you’re cleaning the floor, you can use the clean water from the smaller bucket.<\/p>\n

Commenters were divided over the hack, with many not believing that it works.<\/p>\n

“Ok but every time you mop and put the mop in the water again to soak it the first stays in the water so I don’t think that really helps,” one person said.<\/p>\n

“But it goes in the clean bucket after being used,” another person commented.<\/p>\n

The person behind the video responded: “Right. But not directly into the dirty water.”<\/p>\n

Other people in the comments said while the hack isn’t necessarily perfect, it does mean the water would be cleaner than it would be normally.<\/p>\n

“I’m confused how a lot of people in the comments don’t get the difference between this and not doing this. Yes, the mop will still be a bit dirty each time but it’s cleaner than it would be,” said another.<\/p>\n

A variety of other people were impressed with the idea and shared their appreciation for the suggestion.<\/p>\n

“This is genius,” one viewer wrote in the comments.<\/p>\n

“This just totally changed my mop game. Thanks!” said another.<\/p>\n

Someone else even suggested using a third bucket.<\/p>\n

They said: “I do the same but I use three buckets. No sense in dipping the dirty mop in clean water. My third mop bucket is just water so I can rinse mop before.”<\/p>\n
