If you’re looking for a natural floor cleaner, then look no further. Baking soda is an excellent alternative to toxic store-bought cleaners.
In this article, I’ll teach you how to clean floors naturally with baking soda. It’s so simple and easy to do. I’ve been using this method for a while now. Mix a cup of baking soda in a bucket of warm water and use the solution to mop the floor.
Here’s the step-by-step guide.
Let’s start.
What you’ll need:
1 cup of baking soda
A mop
Bucket
Warm water
Optional: Clean cloth
Steps in Cleaning your Floor Naturally with Baking Soda
Step 1: Sweep or vacuum the floor
Don’t forget the first rule: Sweep or vacuum first before you mop. You want to remove any debris before you begin.
Step 2: Make the Baking Soda Solution
Pour 1 cup of baking soda into a bucket of warm water. Mix well.
Step 3: Start Mopping the Floor
Soak the mop into the bucket. Wring it out so that it’s not dripping wet, then start mopping the floor. Focus on sticky spots and stubborn stains.
Step 4: Rinse the Floor
Mop again with clean water to rinse off any trace of baking soda. Do this step as many times as needed.
Step 5: Wait for the floor to dry
You can use a clean cloth to wipe the floor if you want it to dry faster. Enjoy the clean and odor-free floors!
Why use baking soda to mop your floor?
Baking soda is a natural cleaner and deodorizer. So you hit two birds with one stone.
Most importantly, you avoid being exposed to toxic ingredients found in a lot of cleaning products on the market.
Baking soda is non-toxic to pets too. That’s one less worry for us fur-parents.
Warning: Don’t use baking soda on hardwood floors, marble surfaces, and other natural stones. Baking soda is abrasive and may scratch those types of surfaces.
