✨ Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup white vinegar – disinfects, cuts through grease, and removes stains
- 1 tablespoon baking soda – whitens, deodorizes, and gently scrubs dirt
- 5–10 drops dishwashing liquid – lifts and breaks down grime
(Optional: Add 4–5 drops of essential oil like lemon or tea tree for extra scent and antibacterial power.)
🧽 Instructions:
- Take a clean bucket and fill it with 1.5 gallons (6 liters) of warm water.
- Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and stir until completely dissolved.
- Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of white vinegar — don’t worry, the fizzing is normal.
- Add 5–10 drops of dish soap and stir gently.
- Dip a mop or microfiber cloth into the mixture, wring it out, and begin cleaning the floor.
- For tough stains or corners, use a soft brush or sponge with the same solution.
- Let the floor air dry naturally. No rinsing needed — it dries shiny and clean!
🏡 Best for Use On:
- Ceramic Tiles
- Porcelain
- Vinyl
- Laminate
- Marble (test on a small spot first)
🚫 Do not use vinegar on real hardwood or natural stone like granite — it may damage the finish.
💡 Extra Tips:
- Change water if it becomes too dirty while mopping.
- For high-traffic areas, mop slowly and allow the solution to sit for a minute before wiping.
- Use a microfiber mop for best shine and no streaks.
