This homemade cleaner will have your floors sparkling within no time

Dedicated floor cleaners can be quite expensive, and will often contain too many chemicals. For a floor cleaner that can simplify your housework, give this four-ingredient recipe a try:

Ingredients

    • 1 part 70% rubbing alcohol
    • 1 part water
    • 1 part white vinegar
    • A couple of drops of liquid dish detergent

Method

Combine the ingredients into a bucket.

After sweeping or vacuuming your floors, dip a microfibre mop into this floor cleaning solution.

Allow the solution to air dry, and in no time your floors will be shining like new again!

This recipe is gentle enough to use on wooden or tiled floors, just try a test-patch first.
