Washing floor with warm water

I have no idea I have never had ceramic tile floors. I am sure the lady of the house knows exactly what she is talking about and it is wise for you to do as she insisits. I know you don't like to be bossed by a lady but in this case she knows best. I hoped you used the warm water.

I don't think so..... coz, washing with hot water will make only the clothes weak... not the floor......

I have no idea, I never had ceramic tiles on the floor before. If it is true that is quite interesting and good to know.

Well, I clean houses for a living and have sone so for the last seven years. I have never washed anyones floors with cold water. I always use warm to hot water. I have never heard about washing a floor with cold water, that it helps it to look cleaner. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day,

i have never heard of that.. too me it wouldnt be as clean because cold water isnt as good at fighting germs but hmm..

Hi ronaldinu I always wash my floors with hot, hot water, not boiling but really hot. I have vinyl flooring so I don't know if that is the same but my floors certainly looks clean after I have washed it!

I am sorry but I have never heard that before and I have always washed my floors with warm or even hot water. I always thought that it got off more dirt and germs that way. But everyone has their ways of doing things different.

i think warm water helps in removing the grimes faster.i learnt it from my maid. happy mylotting

Once it hits the floor it is cold, so what is the point? Not only that, unless the water is boiling, remains that hot for a few minutes, it will not disinfect the floor. And... why do you need a disinfected floor? LOL There is no need to wash anything with hot water. Most detergents cut grease anyway. I do not think the warm water will affect the look of the tiles, but why waste the energy?

I would use warm water. The detergent mixes with warm water much easier than cold. It doesn't have to hot, just warm. I think the tiles are going to look dirt because of the hard water. And if it partially the detergent i would think it wouldn't matter whether the water is hot or cold or warm.

Hi ronaldinu, Well that is the first, no I hve not heard of that, then again I don't have ceramics follor tiles. Tamara

I don't know, I've never heard that. I put a little vinigar in my water to make the floor shine. When it dries there is no smell. Good dfor you helping clean the floors.

I am not so sure of this question myself. I just assumed that warm water or hot water mixed in with the right detergent would clean just as well. I will sometimes add bleach to my water before mopping a kitchen floor.

Maybe it is true,but,I always wash floor with cool water.Thanks for your experience!

Hi, we don't have freezing water here. This is India. LOL!! But I guess hot water does have an adverse effect on your tiles. :) Cheers and happy mylotting

I have never heard that! That's very interesting. I always use warm water...if I didn't I couldn't get up half the stuff that's stuck to it. My little granddaughter likes to bake and some of it ends up on the kitchen floor...so I use warm soapy water to clean it!

I have never heard of that.. All i know is that, i will normally be using cold or room temperature water to wash the floor. ONe thing, it's more convenient, and also easier to wash, unlike warm water.. haha ^_^ I guess your wife has her reasons as to dun let u add warm water to it, and u have to ask her why.. hehe

I don't know, I always wash my floors using hot water, but I don't have ceramic floors, they are vinyl. I've never heard of that before, so does it work?

Hey ronaldinu! I've never heard that before. If it's true I really don't know about it! But even if it is I sure as hell wouldn't wash my floor with ice cold water anyway! I've never known anyone to do that and I don't see how it would make a difference. I wouldn't wash them with extremely hot water, but I still wouldn't wash them with ice cold water either. I need to check into this further. Does she mean that if the water is too hot that it leaves a film? That might be possible, but again I wouldn't use extremely hot water.

not that i ever heard of but then i dont have ceramic floors
