How to clean your home floor with just 3 ingredients: never had it so white

Tired of dull, dirty floors that never seem to sparkle no matter how much you mop? This simple, homemade floor cleaner is the solution you’ve been waiting for! With just 3 common household ingredients, you can make your floors shine brighter than ever, leaving them spotless, streak-free, and beautifully white. No expensive cleaners, no harsh chemicals — just a powerful natural mix that’s safe, effective, and budget-friendly. Whether you’re cleaning tiles, vinyl, or laminate, this DIY solution is a game-changer for any home.

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:

  1. Take a clean bucket and fill it with 1.5 gallons (6 liters) of warm water.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of white vinegar — don’t worry, the fizzing is normal.
  4. Add 5–10 drops of dish soap and stir gently.
  5. Dip a mop or microfiber cloth into the mixture, wring it out, and begin cleaning the floor.
  6. For tough stains or corners, use a soft brush or sponge with the same solution.
  7. 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.

This natural 3-ingredient floor cleaner is not only effective, but also eco-friendly and safe for homes with kids or pets. Try it once, and you’ll be amazed — your floors will be so clean, so white, you’ll never want to go back to chemical cleaners again!
