Ingredients:
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- 1 cup of baking soda
- 1/2 cup of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap
- 10 drops of tea tree essential oil (optional)
- Warm water
- A bucket
- A scrubbing brush or an old toothbrush
- A mop
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
- In your bucket, combine the white vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to fizz and bubble, which helps to break down dirt and grime.
- Add the liquid dish soap and tea tree essential oil (if using) to the bucket. Stir gently to mix.
- Add warm water to the mixture until the bucket is about halfway full. Stir again to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Clean the Floors:
- Dip your mop into the solution and wring out the excess liquid.
- Mop your floors as you normally would, paying extra attention to any particularly dirty areas.
- For stubborn spots, use the scrubbing brush to apply extra pressure.
- Tackle the Grout:
- For grout, dip an old toothbrush into the solution and scrub the grout lines thoroughly. The baking soda and vinegar will help lift stains, while the lemon juice adds a fresh scent and extra cleaning power.
- Rinse the area with clean water after scrubbing.
- Final Touches:
- Mop the floor again with clean water to remove any residue.
- Allow the floor to air dry or use a dry mop to speed up the process.
Results:
- You will never see dirty floors and black grout again; they will remain perfectly clean with this simple yet powerful cleaning recipe!
This cleaning method is not only effective but also natural, avoiding harsh chemicals while still delivering sparkling results.
