It depends on what kind of flooring you have. For my tiles and wooden floors, I use my steam mop. The floor is spotless and so clean that you can even it from it. Of course, I still wouldn't do it.

The best homemade floor cleaning solution is a mixture of water, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol and dish soap.

Mix together some warm water, 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol and around 1/8 tsp of dish soap and mix together in a bucket.

Then use your mop to mop the floor with the homemade floor cleaning solution.

You can also use just dish soap or some vinegar to mop and clean your floors with.

If you have some stubborn grime on your floors you can also sprinkle some baking soda and put vinegar on the grime on the floor and mop the floor with the baking soda and vinegar.

A simple mixture of Dawn Dish Soap and Vinegar mixed together makes a great homemade floor cleaning solution that works just as well as most commercial floor cleaning solutions.

Simply mix one part Dawn dish soap and two parts white vinegar, in a bucket and mop the floor with the soapy mixture.

If using plain white vinegar to mop the floors with you will not need to rinse the floor.

There's no need to rinse your vinegar-mopping solution from your floors.

Keep in mind that your floors should be drying very quickly if you've wrung out your mop sufficiently.

When mopping a floor you most often need to also rinse the mop out to remove dirt before going over the floor again.

Many cleaners spray a ton of floor soap, believing "wet equals clean."

Then they forget to rinse out their mop pad, resulting in a floor mop that is fully saturated with dirty water.

Continuing to use the mop pad on the floor leads to smearing dirt, not lifting it.

For a great homemade floor cleaning solution, I mix equal parts water and white vinegar, add a few drops of dish soap, and a few drops of essential oil for a nice scent. It works wonders on most floors and leaves them sparkling clean.In case you're still hunting for this info, I have a suggestion. Sometimes it's impossible to clean everything in one day, especially when it comes to decluttering. When I need extra help, I usually rely on Diamond Home Support. They have a lot of local branches, so it's always possible to find cleaners nearby. You can check them out at https://diamondhomesupport.com/domestic-cleaning/
