Homemade Hardwood Floor Cleaner Ingredients

When your floor is ready for a thorough cleaning, you can make a homemade hardwood floor cleaner with one of the following ingredients:
• Vinegar is one of the most frequently used household items for cleaning different areas of the home. To use as a cleaner for your floor, mix ½ cup of white vinegar to one gallon of warm water. Mop with the solution and rinse your mop out frequently. There’s no need to rinse the solution once you have finished mopping since the vinegar leaves no residue behind.
• Mix together the following: 2 cups of white vinegar, 1 cup of lemon juice, ¼ cup of clear dish soap, and 2 cups water. Mop the floor with the solution and then use a soft, dry rag to wipe up any water.
• For a cleaner with a natural polish built in, mix together ¼ cup of olive oil with ¼ cup of vinegar. To give the hardwood floor cleaner a fresher smell, add several drops of essential oils. Apply to floor with a soft mop or cloth and you will have shinier hardwood floors.
• Many people believe that tea is the best ingredient to use in a hardwood floor cleaner since it brings out the grain in the wood and makes it shine. Brew up to two dozen regular sized tea bags in 2 quarts of water. Use the tea to mop your floor covering lightly but not soaking the floor. Be sure not to leave excess moisture on the wood.
• For floors that need a little more help getting rid of the dirt, mix together 1 tsp washing soda with 1 gallon of hot water. Use to gently scrub away grease, dust and dirt from your hardwood floor.
