1. Prepare the Solution:
Fill a bucket with warm water (about 1 gallon).
Add 1/2 cup white vinegar and 1/4 cup baking soda. Allow the fizzing reaction to settle.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice for an added cleaning boost and pleasant fragrance.
2. Clean Your Floors:
Dip a mop, microfiber cloth, or sponge into the solution.
Wring out excess liquid to prevent soaking the floor, especially for wood or laminate surfaces.
Mop the floor thoroughly, paying attention to corners and high-traffic areas.
For tough stains, sprinkle a bit of baking soda directly onto the area, scrub lightly with a sponge, and then mop over it.
3. Rinse (Optional):
If your floors feel sticky or have residue, rinse the mop with clean water, and go over the floor again to remove any leftover solution.
Tips for Different Flooring Types:

Wood and Laminate:
