Spanish floor cleaners like Asevi, Disiclin, and 3 Brujas are becoming a must-have in UK homes. They’re well-known for their long-lasting scents and unbeatable shine, but only if you use them correctly. Too often, people don’t get the best results because they make small but costly mistakes.

Here are the five most common ones (and how to fix them)

1. Using too much product

   
   

   Spanish floor cleaners are highly concentrated. Adding a big splash to your mop bucket doesn't make your home smell stronger, it actually leaves a sticky residue that attracts dirt and dulls your floors.

Fix: Stick to the instructions. Usually 1-2 capfuls in a bucket of hot water is enough.

2. Mixing with other cleaners

   
   

   Some people add bleach or other floor cleaners into the same bucket. This will cancel out the scent, damage certain surfaces, and in some cases create unsafe chemical reactions (if you go mad-scientist mode).

Fix: Use your Spanish cleaner on its own. It is designed to clean and scent in one go.

3. Using on the wrong surfaces

   
   

   Not all Spanish cleaners are suitable for wood or untreated stone. Pouring directly onto delicate floors can cause swelling, staining, or streaking.

Fix: Always dilute before use and check the label, most are perfect for tiles, laminate, and vinyl, but use specialist wood cleaners for parquet or untreated surfaces.

4. Forgetting to ventilate

One of the joys of Spanish cleaning products in their bold, perfume-like fragrance. But if you mop in a closed room, the scent can feel overwhelming rather than refreshing.

Fix: Open a window or leave doors ajar while you clean to let the fragrance spread naturally.

P.S. You'll need to dry that floor quickly before your husband/kids/dogs come in!

5. Expecting instant results on stubborn stains

Spanish floor cleaners are designed for everyday cleaning and fragrance. Now, I am not saying you need to mop every day (although you might want to as cleaning becomes your hobby) but they are not heavy-duty degreasers or stain removers.

Using them on built-up grime or old stains can leave you disappointed.

Fix: Spot-clean tough marks first, then use your Spanish cleaner to maintain shine and fragrance.

Final Thoughts

Used correctly, Spanish floor cleaners can transform your home into a fresh-smelling haven. Avoiding these five mistakes means you'll enjoy the strong scents, long-lasting freshness, and sparkling floors that make products like Asevi, Brumol, La Lucca and Disiclin so popular in the UK.
