Mopping floors is one of the heaviest household chores, not only if we live in very large houses. It is a long procedure, which involves first using the broom or vacuum cleaner, then washing.
Not to mention the different headaches that can arise depending on the type of floor: some materials are more sensitive to certain products, while others even require the use of specific and sometimes expensive maintenance products.
Below we explain how to prepare a homemade baking soda-based detergent that allows us to clean almost all types of floors, leaving them very shiny and streak-free .
For periodic cleaning , capable of removing surface dirt and neutralizing odors , the procedure is quite simple.
Simply dissolve about 200 grams of baking soda well in a bucket full of hot water and use a cloth to clean the entire floor surface.
To avoid streaks, rinse with water only .
If you also want to perfume the floor, you can add a few drops of an essential oil of your choice (I especially like lemon oil).
If there are stubborn stains on the floor , before mopping the floor, moisten a sponge in a vinegar and baking soda solution and rub it over the stain.
Baking soda is also great for deep cleaning and brightening joints . Again, before scrubbing the floor, pour baking soda between the joints and use an old toothbrush moistened with water to scrub thoroughly.
