We have tile floors and I love them…
However – I was having a terrible time finding some way to clean them that was effective – plus it would be nice to be fast as well. Was that too much to ask?
We tried all kinds of mops and cleaners. We have a Shark steam cleaner – but that left the floors streak-y. We tried a Swiffer – still streak-y. The only way to avoid streaks was with a washrag, and on my knees… That ain’t gonna work!
Recently I’ve been making natural cleaners to avoid so many chemicals in our home. I hit upon a cleaner that is super-effective, quick and easy, AND doesn’t leave my tile floors streak-y! I am so excited.
The cleaner consists of:
1 3/4 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 tsp Dawn
1/4 tsp of a cleaning Essential Oil of your choice (some recommend Tree Tea Oil)
Mix in a spray bottle and use for EVERYTHING! I love it.
Now – here’s the really cool part… I still use a washrag… and my swiffer. Just attach the washrag to the swiffer (eliminating the need to buy replacement cloths).
Then either spray the cloth, or spray the floor directly. Works great – smells wonderful – costs pennies – and is so super quick and easy. It is excellent for quick mop-ups and even works on laminate flooring.
Finally a clean kitchen floor without a big production!
