I am in the process of slowly removing all commercial cleaners from our house and replacing them with a homemade version. Some cleaners I use more than others and so things like window cleaner or an all purpose cleaner have long since been replaced. Others like floor cleaners are finally being used up. Hmmm… maybe I don’t wash my floor that often. Anyway I went to go wash my floor the other day and there were no store bought cleaners on hand. I quickly went through my folder and found this homemade version. I don’t know where I found it and I apologize if someone reading this made it first. I have to say it worked as good or better than any commercial product I’ve ever bought!
I had all the ingredients on hand and it took me no longer to mix this cleaning solution up than it would take to open a bottle of commercial floor cleaner. If you’re looking for a homemade floor cleaner this is it!
To wash your floor mix:
1 cup of vinegar
1 Tbp Dish soap
1 cup of baking soda
2 gallons of water
Wash your floor as usual.
I did not rinse the floor and I was quite pleased with my clean floor afterward! There was evidence of just how dirty the floor was in the sink!
