Grit under a wet rag is sandpaper. Chairs up, rugs out, breathable. Broom and edges first, then spot the protein and the dye on my knees, so I can see what I am working on." }, { "id": "s3", "narration": "A teaspoon of mild soap in a gallon of warm water, or a cup of white vinegar if the floor is dull. Barely-damp cotton, with the grain, wrung so it will not drip. And I rinse the rag more often than feels efficient." }, { "id": "s4", "narration": "Start at the far corner, and back yourself to the door. If you walk on what you just washed, you have not washed it. A floor that stays wet in our August will cup. Work it, air it, and learn to trust your own hands.
