A not so normal way to wash the floor...

Yesterday after lunch Kristen and I cleaned up as usual and then Pali (the cook) told us he was going to wash the kitchen floor, so we stayed to help. Well, we actually ended up being entertained rather than helping. Jano, one of the guys and Pali began washing the floor by squirting an enormous amount of soap all over. Jano was barefoot and began pouring buckets of water on the floor and he slid across tons of soap suds. I told Pali I had never seen a floor washed like this before, and he said “Oh yes, I don’t know people who wash the floor barefoot” as if that was the only strange thing about it. As the music in the kitchen blared Pali and Jano danced and slid around while scrubbing the floor very intensely. Kristen and I sat in the corner sipping our coffee, and wondering how they could so confidently wash the floor like this- I mean soap suds covered the entire floor along with tons of water. After the floor was very thoroughly scrubbed they began to forcefully throw more buckets of water across the floor to rinse the soap away. Luckily the kitchen floor has a couple of drains that the water could go down. After a couple of minutes of throwing buckets of water on the floor the soap suds still were not gone. Next thing we know Jano has the hose that he disconnected from the laundry room next door and he is spraying the floor with it. This was much more efficient and after a short while the soap was gone and the majority of the water had been pushed down the drain and the rest was left to dry. Kristen and I decided we had now really learned how to wash a floor and the next time it needs cleaning we would like to give this new method a try.
