If you've ever been tasked with mopping the floors, you know how dirty the bucket's water can get.

Even with regular cleanings, floors quickly harbour dirt and dust, which can often mean that you have to change the mop's water multiple times in a single session. But one woman has shared a method that sees her have clean mop water on hand without making several trips to the sink.

Constantly changing the water and adding fresh cleaner is not only time consuming, but it's also not cost efficient. As the cost of living crisis continues, Samina Iltaf has shared her way that won't waste water or products.

The cleaning enthusiast, who posts tips on her TikTok page, shared a video of the savvy trick. Under the profile @samina_iltaf, she showed her 33.4k followers a wide Vileda bucket with a spin function that separates water from the mop.

That means when she spins the mop to get rid of the excess dirty water, it stays separate from the clean bucket. Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: "Instead of mixing the mop into dirty water after every use I used a small bucket filled with warm clean water and floor cleaner."

With one bucket, you usually have to dunk the mop back into the murky water that you just squeezed out. But instead, Samina placed a second bucket with clean water into the wider pail, keeping the dirty water away from the clean liquid.

Samina continued: "Once the area of the floor is moped nicely, I would then rinse out any dirty water left that I used in the first round. I then go onto using the clean water, washing the mop ready for round two, then rinsing it clean.

"This becomes less dirty as you can see the results are shown in the video."

People in the comment section were amazed by Samina's results, with one person saying: "Brilliant hack!" and another simply saying: "This is GENIUS!" A third penned: "Makes so much sense".

Many were wondering why they hadn't thought of this sooner, with one person saying: "So simple, why have I never thought of this? Will be doing this from now on, off I go to clean my floors." Another added: "Wow this is amazing."
