Notes
I highly recommend you test a small area of floor first when using a homemade natural wood floor cleaner. Ensure that you like the results of the test before attempting to clean the whole floor.
To use the cleaner:
- Sweep or vacuum the floor first to remove dirt and debris.
- Place a mop or microfiber cloth into the bucket and ring out well.
- Mop the floor following the direction of the grain. If using a spray bottle, lightly mist the floor and then mop like normal.
