Its been a practice at home for a long time, ever since I can remember. It's a routine my late mom keeps, or rather a tip that she applied and has been proven, again and again.
Mop your floor with hot water. It's as simple as that for longer lasting clean floors. At least that's my testament and a recent testament by a good friend of mine.
A pail of hot water, with suitable amount of floor cleaner (some swear by just antiseptic solution e.g. Dettol) and a stick of mop to wash those dirt from your floors. Works well on surfaces such as tiles, marble and terrazo flooring. If you need to mop of wood, make sure the mop is pressed fairly dry.
Try it. You'll be surprise how piping hot suds can do to your floors!
