How much vinegar do you use in a gallon of water?

pine sol is pretty toxic I think, I personally would not use it around chester, I would say vinegar and water, I have read that pine sol is not a very good disenfectant at all, maybe cleaner

After I got my Yorkies, I was concerned about toxins so I bought a Haan Steam Cleaner and I love it. My floors are clean, disinfected (great for my grandkids too) and my babies are safe even with their faces 3-4 inches from the floor. Plus it's fast and easy for me, I used to do floors on my knees now I stand. What's not to like?

Today I used vinegar and water and really liked the results. Pine-Sol is going down the drain!! Thanks everyone. It's good to hear what others do.

I now use Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap (I buy the rose hemp scented one but there are others) and I use that with white distilled vinegar and water. I add essential oils for different purposes. I find that making my own products is more effective at cleaning, and ALOT cheaper. I also use baking soda, but not on my floors because I find it leaves a white film if I dont rinse and rinse and rinse and rinse. By the time I'm done rinsing, I'm exhausted!

Alot of people like the steam mop, I had one and got rid of it. It never really got my tile floor as clean as I like it so for me it was not a good option.

I am a total convert over to Green Cleaning and my house is cleaner than it ever was!

Same here.. I pretty much make all my own cleaners, including laundry detergent. I like all my stuff better than the commercial stuff, too.

So how is it that I have never heard of this steamer until now? So... is it REALLY that awesome? I want reviews.... pros/cons, etc.
