I’ve never really been a mop person.  I’ve always wanted to be one, but never understood the attraction.  That all being said I still need to clean my floors, but I do it with a bucket and sponge (although these days I use my handmade dish cloths).

I’ve used Mop-n-Glo for years, but like most household cleaners, it can be pricey and full of chemicals.  Today I added a DIY floor cleaning solution to my household cleaners arsenal.

I found this tutorial at food.com of all places.  The recipe details how to make a floor cleaner that is a grease cutter as well.  I have a before and after comparison and am pleased with the results.  {DISCLAIMER:  Our floors are 25-year-old laminate and have stood up to 5 dogs and 2 adults for that long.  There are nicks and the style is dated, but it cleans up really well.}

Thanks for stopping by.  I’m off to lather on some Homemade Shea Butter Lotion on my hands. 😉

Until tomorrow,

Remember when I was a puppy and I used to run on your clean floors with my muddy paws?  Fun times.
