Homemade Hardwood Floor Cleaner |
|
|
Any ideas on a homemade hardwood floor cleaner (shiner). The store bought (Orange-Glo) works great but so expensive. My entire house is hardwood floors.

Tea on the floor? That just seems gross and something to attract bugs.

For my hardwood parquet floors, I use a natural cleaning solution: for a bucket of water, add a couple of tablespoons of Castile liquid soap (I use almond or tea tree scent) and a couple of "glug-glugs" of white vinegar. Use to damp mop the floor. The soap cuts through any grease or dirt, and the vinegar disinfects.

make a pot of tea and use it to clean your hardwood, will remove minor scratches and gives them a shine. a bit of lemon added will give a nice scent and help with the cleaning.

When we built our home, I talked to the salesman in the Janitorial Supply store and asked him how to keep my floors looking their best. He said that after mopping the floor (I add Mr. Clean which removes the scuff marks and dirt really fast), to use a wide ( mine is 24") dust mop and spray dust off on it and then dust the whole floor. It leaves it shiny. This is all I have done to my floors now for 14 years and they still look great.

I have used cold tea before on my hardwood floors and they came out really nice. Just boil your water with two or three large teabags and let it cool off then wash your floor with that. It's something about the tanic acid in the tea that helps the floors.I do not remember who told me to try this but, I'm glad I did.

I am sorry I don't have a suggestion. other than vinegar and water treatment. I too am interested in hearing if there is a homemade solution to the problem!
