Cleaning hard wood and tile floors Can you all tell me what you use to clean your floors that is not toxic to our pets. Thanks |
Vinegar. |
good answer:thumbup: :thumbup: |
i use vinegar. 1 because i have marble floors and everything else makes it sticky. 2. make not so easy to pee on! |
I vacuum or swiffer up the dust and crumbs first, then I use teh regular swiffer mop, but instead of using swiffer brand clothes, I use those thin microfiber cleaning-clothes (you can get them anywhere....the fibers remind me of teeny tiny terry clothe...if that makes sense). I run the cothe under hot water and squeeze it out, attach to the swiffer and wet mop....works very well, except that Tia needs to be crated...she always wants to "kill" the swiffer! No chemicals! No soap! These clothes are also excellent for cleaning glass (use one wet, and follow with a dry one) and stainless steel appliances. I rarely use soaps or chemicals...but we also have a steam cleaner for dissinfecting (no we aren't germ-a-phobes....we've just learned a healthier way to clean!) I'm a fan of Martha Stewart and she wrote something that kinda stuck with me....a clean house shouldn't smell like anything...not like bleach, or vinegar, or chemicals. There shouldn't be any odour except for fresh flowers (if you have them) or a home cooked meal (if you have the time!) |

Is there a brand name and where do you get them? I would love to try them on my floors! Are they disposable? |
For cleaning small areas (like around/under the puppy pads) I use a vinegar/water mix with a little bit of orange oil, which is natural so it's OK. For the rest of the hardwood floors and tile, I use both dry and wet Swiffers. :) |
I have only three items in my home I use to clean with. I use a little bleach in a gallon of water for moping, and I use alcohol in a spray bottle to clean bathrooms and kitchen, and bartenders friend to scour tubs, sinks or pots when needed. I pour a little bleach in all the pots before going to bed every night, and before leaving on vacation. When I get wood flooring, I will add white vinegar to my list. I like keeping things simple. I don't like suds and fragrances to clean with at all. |
