Greener Cleaners - Floor Cleaners!

By
Real Estate Agent with Windermere Real Estate
Here are a couple of ideas you can use to clean your floors, WITHOUT the use of toxic chemicals!  

1) A pencil eraser removes heel marks from a floor.
2) For greasy, no-wax floors:

1 cup vinegar
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tablespoon vegetable oil-based liquid soap
2 gallons hot water
Combine all ingredients, stirring well to dissolve the baking soda. Mop as usual.

As always, feel free to comment with questions, or if you have anything to add!
