Homemade Floor Cleaner Recipe

When it comes to cleaning your floor, you should always remember that homemade floor cleaner recipes will not apply to each and every surface! Please remember that our advice should be taken with caution, though the ingredients are easy enough to check up online. Here are some tips for cleaning your floors in a natural and safe way.

If you have mostly carpets then I have already talked about the ways you can keep the clean naturally, so just have a read by clicking here. When it comes to other cleaning surfaces, always make sure you have swept or vacuumed to get rid of most of the dirt before trying these recipes.

Hardwood Floors

If you have a hardwood floor, would you believed that tea could help you to clean it?! All you need to do to start is brew up some tea, and have to hand a teaspoon of castile soap and a spray bottle to put them in.

The reason why this recipe works so well is that the tannins found in tea can help to make your floor look a lot more shiny. However, when you are cleaning with this recipe please make sure that your mop is not wet as this could damage the surface of your floor.

Tile or Vinyl

You will need to use a different recipe if you have a tile or vinyl floor, but remember that it’s always important to check what you can and cannot use on your floor before following any of our advice.

The recipe here calls for a quarter of a cup of distilled vinegar alongside borax, and 2 tablespoons of liquid soap mixed with a gallon of warm water. You can use this recipe with a sponge mop as a great way to get rid of dirt as well as any unwanted smells. If you wish to add a scent then simply add an essential oil to the recipe.

Conclusion

Each floor is different so it’s important to understand how to take proper care of your surfaces before making your own floor cleaner recipes. However, if they are suitable for your floor you will find that they are a great way to save money while going green, and they will do an even better job than traditional floor cleaners when it comes to cleaning surfaces and keeping you healthy.
