How to Clean Wooden Floors Safely - September 2018
Vinegar is an excellent cleaner for around the home. It’s cost effective, environmentally friendly and does a great job of cutting through grime, but it’s bad news for wood floors. Using vinegar on wood floor will dull the coating leaving your floor looking dull and lifeless. Try this safe, cheap and effective DIY cleaning solution for your wood floor instead and you’ll keep our floor looking great for years to come.
You will need:
1 litre spray bottle:
1 litre of warm water
5 -7 drops of castile soap
Up to 10 drops of pure essential oil (I love either lemon or orange for a really fresh fragrance)
Shake everything up in the spray bottle.
To use, dry mop or vacuum your floors, then spritz in sections with the floor spray and use a microfibre mop to clean. For stubborn spots, spray and wait about 30 seconds before mopping.
Your floors will be clean and shiny, without harming the finish.
