Organic Cleaning Solutions for Your Floor


One of the easiest ways to enhance the aesthetics of a room is by keeping floors sparkling clean. It can certainly be expensive to hire professional cleaning services to upkeep the floors in your home, but SCV Floorsmith in Santa Clarita has some simple DIY cleaning solutions, making it easy and affordable to clean your floors. Most of these recipes use ingredients from your pantry, and they work well on all floor types.


Vinegar Solution for Mopping


One of the most basic cleaning options is a vinegar solution, made from equal parts of white vinegar and hot water. As you mop the floors, the vinegar acts as a disinfectant while leaving a nice shine, and the smell dissipates once the floor dries. This vinegar formula is safe to use on all floor types, and it yields powerful results.


Lemon Juice to Shine Wood Floors


If you have wooden floors, you can add some shine to them with three simple ingredients in your kitchen. Mix 1 gallons of hot water, ¾ cup of olive oil, and ½ cup of lemon juice into a solution, and mop your hardwood floor with it. This mixture has a dual function of deep cleaning with the lemon juice, and the olive oil gives it a nice shine. There is no need for rinsing after you mop, as it will dry completely clean.


Borax to Disinfect Your Bathroom


Lastly, if you want a disinfectant solution for a room such as the bathroom that requires regular cleaning, you can utilize the disinfectant recipe. Mix 1 gallon of hot water with ¼ cup of Borax, and you won’t need to rinse the floors after mopping with this either. Borax is a powerful disinfectant and can cut through any mess.

First off, thank GOD it’s finally raining. So Cal was definitely in desperate need of a drenching. However, it’s been so long (especially for us up in Santa Clarita and Stevenson Ranch) that I fear that many of us may have forgotten what rain is. So just a reminder. The stuff falling out of the sky is called rain. It’s just water so relax. You may have noticed that this stuff (rain) gets everywhere. Clothes get soaked. The roads fill up with it. Floors get all messed up. Check out how to maintai
