Almost all of the household chores to clean our homes are long and tedious, but if there’s one that tops them all, that’s definitely floor cleaning. Stains and dirt of all kinds accumulate on it and, sometimes, with the passage of time it can lose its shine and tarnish.

When it comes to cleaning the floor, the first thing that comes to mind is undoubtedly a good degreasing and scented detergent. However, not all of them available on the market are really effective and certainly none of them are good for the environment and our pocketbook.

If you are looking for a cheaper and more ecological alternative, but at the same time much more effective when it comes to cleaning and polishing the floor, the fabric softener and vinegar-based makeup that we suggest below is surely for you.

Applying makeup is extremely simple: into a bucket full of warm water, pour a capful of fabric softener and 150 ml of white vinegar. Stir until the ingredients are integrated and wash the floor as usual.

You’ll notice that, in addition to having a more polished and clean floor, the house will have a wonderful scent that lingers for days.
