Instructions:
- Prepare the Solution:
- In a bucket, combine the warm water, vinegar, and baking soda. Stir until the baking soda dissolves completely.
- If desired, add the liquid dish soap and essential oil.
- Test Before Use:
- Before applying the cleaner to your entire floor, test it on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with your flooring type.
- Start Cleaning:
- Dip a mop or microfiber cloth into the solution, wring out excess liquid, and start cleaning your floors. Avoid soaking the floor, especially on wood or laminate, as excessive water can cause damage.
- Allow to Air Dry:
- No need to rinse! The solution evaporates quickly, leaving your floors streak-free and gleaming.
Tips for Best Results
- For Hardwood Floors: Use sparingly and ensure the mop is damp, not wet, to protect the wood.
- For Tile and Grout: Add a bit more baking soda for extra cleaning power in grout lines.
- For Laminate: Stick to the recipe as is, avoiding excess liquid to prevent warping.
- For Stubborn Stains: Spot-treat with a paste made from baking soda and water before mopping.
