Keeping your home floor clean and sparkling can be a challenge, especially when we’re looking for a flawless shine that isn’t always achieved with regular commercial products. Luckily, there are homemade methods that, in addition to being economical, are effective and take advantage of ingredients that we already have at home.

This method uses a few everyday items that combine perfectly to disinfect, remove stains, and achieve an exceptional shine.

How to leave the floor super white?

Here’s how to prepare and apply this mixture for a clean, white floor, without the need for expensive or harsh products!

Ingredients:

• Refined salt – 2 dessert spoons: Salt is an excellent cleaning agent, as it helps remove stains and sticky residue. In addition, it is slightly abrasive, which facilitates the removal of dirt without damaging the floor.
• Liquid detergent (preferably lemon-scented) – 75 ml: The lemon-scented detergent not only cleans and degreases, but also provides a pleasant aroma and helps to leave the floor free of greasy residues. Lemon is known for its disinfectant properties, which adds a layer of protection to your cleaning.
• Nail polish remover (acetone-based) – 50 ml: Acetone is a strong solvent that helps remove stubborn stains and stubborn residues, such as shoe marks or grease stains. It is only used in small quantities, but it has great cleaning power.
• Water – 250 ml
• Spray bottle

Procedure:

1. In a clean spray bottle, add the 250 ml of water. This will be the base for mixing the other ingredients.
2. Add the two tablespoons of refined salt. Close the bottle and shake well so that the salt dissolves completely in the water.
3. Add the 75 ml of liquid detergent and shake again to integrate it into the mixture.
4. Finally, it incorporates the acetone-based nail polish remover. Close the bottle and shake well so that all the ingredients combine evenly.
5. To apply the mixture, simply spray the product on the floor and wipe with a clean rag or mop. No need to rinse, but you can wipe with a damp cloth if you prefer a residue-free finish.

Additional Tips

• Ventilation: As it contains acetone, it is recommended that the space is well ventilated to prevent the accumulation of vapors. Also, use a moderate amount of nail polish remover so that the smell is not strong.
• Test on a small area: Before applying the mixture to the entire floor, test it in an inconspicuous corner to make sure it’s safe for the type of surface you have.
• Frequency of use: This mixture is ideal for deep cleaning, so you don’t need to use it every day. With once a week, your floor should stay clean and shiny.
• Cleaning specific stains: If you have stubborn stains, you can spray the mixture directly on them and leave it on for a few minutes before mopping.
• Maintenance: Keep the mixture well shaken before each use and store it in a cool place and out of the reach of children.

With this simple and effective method, you can enjoy a flawless and shiny floor, without the need for expensive products or extra effort!
