Dust, dirt and germs can accumulate on the floor surface, creating an unhealthy environment in your home.

Therefore, it is important to regularly carry out wet cleaning using effective products.

Secret Ingredient: Plain Vinegar

Many housewives know about the miraculous properties of vinegar for cleaning various surfaces.

But few people realize that vinegar is also a great ingredient for cleaning floors. It not only effectively removes dirt and grease, but also disinfects the surface, killing bacteria and germs.

How to Use Vinegar to Clean Floors

  • Classic recipe: mix 1/2 cup of vinegar in a bucket of warm water. This solution is suitable for washing any type of floor except marble and granite.
  • For extra shine: add a few drops of lemon or lavender essential oil to the vinegar solution. This will not only give the floor a pleasant aroma, but also enhance its shine.
  • To combat stains: To remove stubborn stains, apply undiluted vinegar to the stain, leave for a few minutes, then rinse with water.

Alternatives: salt and soda

In addition to vinegar, you can use salt or soda to wash the floor. Salt has abrasive properties and helps remove ingrained dirt. Soda is great for dealing with grease and unpleasant odors.
