HOUSEHOLD: Floor Wash Formula (TIPS, HINTS, HERBS)

[Guest guest]

Fun, Effective Floor Wash Formula

By Cait Johnson, inspired by Better Basics for the Home by Annie B. Bond

 

If you’re like me, you don’t usually use the words " fun " and " washing

the floor " in the same sentence. But when I discovered Annie’s

floor-wash formula, it put keeping my floor clean in a whole new

category. It uses one of the most effective microbe-busting ingredients

known: vinegar. But it also calls for a secret ingredient that makes the

formula even more effective and gives it a heavenly fresh smell. And you

probably have it in your kitchen cupboard.

 

Now that we’re not tracking dirt into the house with our summer-bare

feet and the windows are shut for cooler weather, clean floors are

important to me. This formula is completely safe for the environment,

smells delicious, and really works. And the secret ingredient makes it

fun to make and use. Get the great formula here:

 

1/8 cup liquid soap or detergent

1/4 to 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar

1/2 cup strong peppermint herb tea (peppermint adds antibacterial qualities)

 

1. Combine ingredients in a pail or bucket.

 

2. Swirl the wash around until it is sudsy, then proceed to mop as normal.

 

3. Discard any unused formula.
