1 cup white vinegar

1 gallon warm water

1 tablespoon baking soda

10–15 drops essential oil (optional; lemon, lavender, or tea tree for fragrance and added antibacterial properties)

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture:

In a large bucket, combine warm water and baking soda, stirring until dissolved.

Add white vinegar slowly (it will fizz a little).

Optional: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a pleasant scent.

Mop the Floor:

Dip your mop into the solution, wring out excess liquid, and mop the floor as usual.

For stubborn spots, dip a cloth in the mixture and scrub gently.

Rinse (Optional):

Most floors don’t need rinsing, but you can go over them with clean water if desired.

Dry and Shine:
