# '''Find a bucket for the mop.'''<br />We would've got one but Bilko went out to buy the mop and the bucket was £12.50! Who's going to pay £12.50 for a bloody mop bucket. Some people suggest you use a box from the dirty room. To be honest, my personal opinion is just go with your gut - you probably won't do too bad. | # '''Find a bucket for the mop.'''<br />We would've got one but Bilko went out to buy the mop and the bucket was £12.50!

# '''Fill that bucket with water'''<br />You're going to want to get some H<sub>2</sub>O up in here! Please make sure you don't confuse any other colourless liquids you find around the Hackspace with water (e.g. hydrochloric acid or deuterium). Stick some of this awesome liquid in the bucket, and why not chuck in a bit of soap. Ensure that your soap is friendly to the surface you're cleaning and make sure the final solution (nothing to do with genocide; different usage of the word 'solution') is fairly mild in strength. | # '''Fill that bucket with water'''<br />You're going to want to get some H<sub>2</sub>O up in here!

# '''Slap the mop on the floor'''<br />You're going to get the floor wet now. I know you probably think that getting the floor wet is a bad thing, but in the name of cleanliness almost anything goes. Spread the water around so it soaks up all the unsweepable dirt. That's basically the crux of this whole mopping ordeal: we're going to make this water dirty and then remove the water, leaving the floor cleaner. Once you've spread the water around, feel free to rub it into the ground a bit to make sure it really soaks up the dirt. | # '''Slap the mop on the floor'''<br />You're going to get the floor wet now.

# '''Soak up the water'''<br />Dry the mop head. If we'd spent the £12.50 on the bucket, we'd have a cool drying section that you press the mop into. But £12.50 is £12.50 and let's just not go there. Maybe start a pledge or something and we can raise the dough. It's an unnecessary luxury though. You'll need to grab it with your hands and wring it dry for the moment (marigolds are optional... BUT RECOMMENDED ;-)). Once it's dry, fly the mop head around the wet patches until either the floor is completely dry or the mop is completely full. If the former, move onto the next step. If the latter, repeat this step. | # '''Soak up the water'''<br />Dry the mop head. If we'd spent the £12.50 on the bucket, we'd have a cool drying section that you press the mop into.
