Do it yourself floor cleaners can help save you time and money. From hardwood to laminate floor, I've got you covered!

HARDWOOD FLOOR CLEANER
1 cup white distilled vinegar
2 gallon warm water
5 drops essential oils ¡V Lemon and Orange are my preference

Mix ingredients in a large bucket or container. Mop with a barely damp
mop and bucket or by hand with microfiber towels. Rinse often and
change the solution as needed. Make sure your hardwood floors are
sealed and make sure that you never let water sit on the floors. Test
in an inconspicuous spot first.




TILE AND GROUT DEEP CLEANER
cream of tartar
water

Mix up a paste using these two ingredients that is the consistency of
runny toothpaste. Using an old toothbrush or a thin grout brush, dip
the brush in and scrub. Wipe away residue and wash floor after if
needed.
This is also great for cleaning metal appliances like toasters. It
just gets smeared on and wiped gently off.
