A Quick Recipe for Making Homemade Hardwood Floor Cleaner
There are some steps to be followed before cleaning your hardwood with the cleaner. First, you need to vacuum or sweep the floor thoroughly to remove all the loose dirt and debris from it. Then only mop the floors by preparing a mixture of your homemade cleaner and water.
Tools and Materials required:
- 1 teaspoon of castile soap (Olive oil-based hard soap)
- 4 cups water and take some extra cups for rinsing
- 4-6 drops of essential oil (peppermint, lavender, or orange) - optional to add
- A spray bottle
- Mop with a microfiber pad
Steps for Making the Cleaner :
Step 1:
Take a spray bottle filled with 4 cups of water and add 1 teaspoon of castile soap to it. Now if you want then add a few drops of essential oil in it. Tighten up the bottle and shake it well to form a gentle mixture of these 3 things.
Step 2:
After making the solution in a spray bottle, test its effect before applying to the whole hardwood floor. Firstly spray the solution in a small area of your home and then rinse it with water. Then check whether this solution suits your hardwood floors without causing any damage.
Step 3:
To clean the entire hardwood flooring in your home, start working in the smaller parts like three square feet at a time. Stay careful to not spray much of this cleaner at once to avoid excess moisture on the wood floors.
Step 4:
Spray the cleaning solution, and then move the mop in back-and-forth motions to apply it to the wood floor. Then rinse and squeeze excess water out from your mop.
