Homemade No Wax Floor Cleaner - Recipe And Instructions

This homemade no wax floor cleaner is kind of complicated to make, but it produces a cleaner with a nice scent on your no wax floors.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup soap flakes* (directions for making these are listed below)
• 1/4 cup washing soda
• 1 cup salt
• 2 cups water
• 2 tsps pine oil
• 1 cup white vinegar

Directions:

Step 1: Make soap flakes by taking a bar of pure soap, such as Ivory, and coarsely grating it with a kitchen grater.

Step 2: Combine the soap flakes, washing soda, salt and water into a saucepan on low heat. Stir continuously until the ingredients have dissolved into the water.

Step 3: Once the ingredients have dissolved turn off the stove, and let the liquid in the saucepan cool until it is lukewarm.

Step 4: After it has cooled sufficiently add the pine oil, and stir until well combined.

Step 5: Pour this mixture into a jar or bottle with a lid.

Step 6: When you are ready to use the cleaner it will need to be diluted. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into a bucket half-full of hot water, and stir well.

Step 7: Once you used this cleaner on your floor, the solution must be rinsed off. Do this by combining a half bucket of clean water with the 1 cup of vinegar, and using this to rinse the floor.
