The right method for a truly shiny floor
- Dip your mop in the mixture, wring it out carefully to avoid excess water, then clean the floor as usual.
- Work in sections and avoid going over the same area multiple times. As it dries, the surface will gradually reveal a cleaner, brighter appearance, without streaks or a sticky feeling.
Bonus: For tougher stains or heavily soiled tile grout, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of warm water to form a thick paste. Apply it to the affected areas, gently scrub with a soft brush or an old toothbrush, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and then apply your vinegar-fabric softener solution to finish cleaning.
On what types of soil can this tip be used?
This method is particularly well-suited to tile, laminate flooring, and washable surfaces. For parquet flooring, caution is advised: use very little water, wring the mop thoroughly, and always test on a small, inconspicuous area before cleaning the entire room.
The advantage? In addition to cleaning effectively, this blend subtly perfumes your home. Lavender for a relaxing atmosphere, lemon for a feeling of freshness… there's a blend to suit every mood for a natural floor cleaning .
