Bathroom Flooring 1

  • floor cleaner with fragrant herbs
    2 tablespoons liquid soap or detergent
    4-8 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
    6 tablespoons fragrant herb tea (peppermint adds antibacterial qualities)

    Combine ingredients in a bucket of water. Swirl the water around until it lathers a little. Proceed as normal. Discard the remainder after use.
      




  • all-purpose floor cleaner
    1 cup (250ml) vinegar
    1 cup (250ml) isopropyl alcohol
    1 cup (250ml) water
    6 drops dishwashing liquid

    For fast floor cleanups, keep a bottle of this all-purpose cleaner handy: Fill a medium spray bottle with the vinegar, alcohol, water, and dish washing liquid. Shake gently to combine. To use, spray sparingly and mop until dry.
     
  • cheap cleaning solution
    1/3 part white vinegar
    1/3 part rubbing alcohol
    1/3 part water
    3 drops dishwashing liquid

    Mix in a (recycled) spray bottle and you have the equivalent of the floor cleaner. Just spray and mop. It also recommended for deodorizing a room and for a fast cleanup. Use this on any tile floors with great results. The alcohol is added to make it dry faster, but you could leave it out, if you want.
        




  • removing lime deposits
    Use one part vinegar to one part water to clean tiles and grouting. On newer tiles, test in an inconspicuous area first, especially if colored grouting has been used. 
  • waxing a floor
    When waxing a floor after scrubbing with a floor stripper, add 1 cup (225ml) of vinegar to the rinse water. It neutralizes the chemicals and makes the wax or floor finish adhere better. 
  • vinyl floor cleaning
    For effortless cleaning and less bending, try squirting vinegar on the head of a moistened mop and wiping over the floor. Environmentally friendly and cheap!
