How to Polish Floors and Perfume Your Home
Step 1: Prepare the Cleaning Solution
- In a clean bucket, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 gallon of warm water.
- Stir until the baking soda dissolves completely.
- Add 2 tablespoons of fabric softener to the solution and mix well.
Step 2: Sweep or Vacuum the Floor
- Before mopping, sweep or vacuum your floors thoroughly to remove loose dirt and debris. This ensures the solution can work effectively without spreading dust around.
Step 3: Mop the Floors
- Dip your mop or microfiber cloth into the solution, then wring it out until it’s damp but not dripping.
- Mop the floor in sections, making sure to cover every corner. The baking soda works to lift grime, while the fabric softener leaves a glossy finish and a refreshing scent.
Step 4: Let It Air Dry
- Allow the floors to air dry completely. You’ll notice the subtle shine and a lovely aroma spreading throughout your home.
Extra Tips for Best Results
- Spot Test First
- Always test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area of your floor to ensure it’s compatible with the material.
- Adjust the Scent
- For a stronger fragrance, add a little extra fabric softener to the mixture.
- Use a Spray Bottle for Touch-Ups
- Pour the solution into a spray bottle and use it for quick touch-ups on high-traffic areas or for cleaning countertops and bathroom tiles.
- Avoid Overusing Fabric Softener
- While fabric softener adds a nice finish, using too much can leave a slippery residue. Stick to the recommended amount.
