Vinegar To Clean Hardwood Floors

You can use vinegar to clean hardwood floors. A homemade floor cleaner can be as effective as a commercial product and is gentle on your floors.

How To Make floor cleaner with vinegar:

    . 1 spray bottle
    . 1/8 cup of white vinegar
    . 1 tspn lemon juice
    . Warm/hot water
    . 1 swiffer like sweeping product
    . 1 micro-fiber cloth
Combine the vinegar and lemon juice in the spray bottle, then fill the rest of the bottle with warm to hot water. Then spray the micro-fiber cloth with your cleaner and clip the cloth onto the swiffer like mop and try to mop along the seams of the flooring.

Use a microfibre or fabric mop, they are very soft and won't scratch or harm your floor. These mops have a simple sheet that clips onto the head of the mop. The microfibre sheets are usually inexpensive and disposable or the material sheets are more expensive but can be put in the washing maching and used again. Both of these sheets are designed for wood floors and will not scratch or mark them. Also use a minimal amount of liquid when using them so that your floor does not become saturated with water, spaying your cleaning fluid onto the mop rather than the floor is best.
