Wondering which ingredients should be added to make a homemade floor cleaner? Read on.
Distilled Vinegar
Vinegar offers disinfecting properties and contains a high amount of acetic acid, which helps in breaking and cleaning grease and dirt. Ensure that you are not using it undiluted on the floors of your house as the acidic content can harm your body, and even the floors.
Dish Wash Soap
It is a mild and neutral cleaner, thereby making it a safe ingredient for almost all surfaces. The dishwasher soaps can also remove dirt and grease and can be a great ingredient if not overused. Keep in mind to not use dish soap with bleach or added oils.
Rubbing Alcohol
A good cleaner and disinfectant, rubbing alcohol is needed for a mopping solution as it aids in drying the floor faster and leaves no streaks on the floor. Use rubbing alcohol if you don’t want to rinse your floor.
Essential Oils
If you’re a fan of fragrance and don’t mind walking the extra mile to add a good scent to your house, using essential oils is the best option. Add a few drops of your favourite essential oils to create a custom scent.
