Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bucket, slowly add the baking soda to the vinegar. The mixture will fizz—this is normal. Once it settles, add the lemon juice and warm water. Stir well.
Add Fragrance (Optional):
If desired, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. This helps neutralize the vinegar smell and leaves a fresh scent behind.
Apply to Floor:
Dip a mop or cloth into the solution and wring it out. Mop your floors as usual, making sure to target grout lines with a bit more pressure. No rinsing is required—this mixture evaporates cleanly and leaves no streaks.
Tough Grout Stains?
For deep-set stains in grout, make a paste with baking soda and vinegar separately. Apply it directly to the grout, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then scrub with a brush before mopping.
Why It Works:
Vinegar cuts through grease and leaves a natural shine.
Baking soda adds gentle abrasion to lift grime.
Lemon juice has natural antibacterial properties and a fresh scent.
Safety Tips:
Do not use this cleaner on natural stone (e.g., marble or granite), as vinegar can damage the surface.
Always test a small area first if you're unsure how your floor will react.
This natural cleaning method is effective, eco-friendly, and budget-conscious—perfect for those wanting clean floors without chemical exposure.
