My floor is so clean this morning! Normally, that’s not really cause for celebration, but I decided to give some homemade floor cleaner a try. Wow! It worked much better than I expected! Spots that normally take a little elbow grease didn’t, and even better- my floor actually feels clean. The last time it felt this clean was when I got down on my hands and knees with a Magic Eraser… yeah, that was a chore!
Now I just need to find a great mop. Is there such a thing?
I have linoleum floors in my house, and this worked beautifully on them. There wasn’t and isn’t any odor of vinegar in the house. Just nice clean floors that I wouldn’t hesitate to eat off of. I found the recipe at Effortless Savings- if you have wood or wood laminate floors, she has an alternative cleaner for you, so be sure and check it out.
Homemade Floor Cleaner
- 2 gallons hot water
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 TBS dish soap
Combine everything in a mop bucket, stir together and use immediately.
awesome, and when you find a great mop, let us all know!
That’s the trick isn’t it? The best thing I’ve ever found for cleaning floors is a sturdy rag and my hands. Not my idea of a good time.
that it awesome. I will definately be trying it out this weekend.
