Mopping With Homemade Floor Cleaner

Use this homemade floor cleaner recipe to clean the floors in your home.

A simple floor cleaner you can make in your own home is a solution of a teaspoon or two of dishwashing liquid in a bucket full of warm water.

When mixing your cleaner you want a few bubbles, but avoid using too much soap or detergent because it will make your floor harder to rinse, and a sticky soap film will result.

A soapy residue on your floors will dull the finish, and will also make the floor slightly sticky.

This stickiness will cause dirt to cling to the surface more tightly than it otherwise would have.

Basically, my point is to be careful not to use too much soap or you will create a dirt magnet from the soap residue. (A little goes a long way.)

Also, after washing your floor with this homemade floor cleaner you will need to rinse thoroughly with plain water, to completely remove the soap residue.
