Heavy duty tile cleaner
It should come as no surprise that vinegar is a great floor cleaner, especially if you have tile floors. Just mix 1/4 cup vinegar, 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap, 1/4 cup washing soda and 2 gallons tap water in a bucket. When the mixture is good and sudsy, use it to mop your tile floors. While this will make your tile floors look as good as new, don’t use it for waxed floors as it makes the wax gunky. Get the full tutorial here.
Three-ingredient laminate floor cleaner
Cleaning your laminate floors should be done frequently, but shouldn’t have to take up too much of your day. The easiest DIY cleaner for laminate floors involves just three ingredients and you need only 5 ounces of each: vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water. Combine these into a spray bottle or spray mop and you’re ready to make your floor shine. (You can add a few drops of essential oil to this mixture if you want a certain smell, but that’s entirely up to you.) Get the full tutorial here.
