3 Floor Cleaning Solutions You Can Make at Home

Mar 25, 2015

If you’re cleaning your floor regularly with commercial products, it can be a costly endeavor. However, there are many ways for you to maintain your floors with floor cleaning solutions you can make at home. Not only is cleaning your floors with natural products better for the environment in your home, but it’s also better for the planet. Here are recipes for 3 floor cleaning solutions you can make at home:

  1. Lemon Juice-Lemons have antibacterial and antiseptic properties, not to mention they smell great; so no wonder you find their scent in so many commercial products. They are extremely effective against bacteria in the home, so they make a great product to clean your floors with (especially if you have young children who often play on the ground). Mix half a cup of pure lemon juice to your mop water to leave your floors germ-free and spotless.
  2. Olive Oil– If you have hardwood floors, they love soaking up a little bit of oil. By adding a few drops of olive oil to a vinegar and water solution, you can give your wood floors more shine. Just a minimal amount of oil is all you need to maintain the luster of your hardwood floors without using a chemical solution to bolster shine.
  3. White Vinegar-A natural cleanser, vinegar is a popular ingredient in most natural home-cleaning products. Adding one part vinegar to one part water is all you need to cut crease, lift wax, and remove mildew from your floors. Although you may be turned off at first by the smell of the vinegar, rest assured that once it has dried it will leave your home smelling fresh and clean.
