Wood Floor Cleaners

One thing about having a dark wood floor is that they are constantly dirty. Don't get me wrong, I love my floors, but you can see every hair and speck of dust deposited on the floor. So, up till now, I have been cleaning my wood floors with Swiffer's wet mop. Ya, I think is sucks (pardon the language...) This product does not clean my floor and It doesn't even have enough juice to clean my whole floor. While watching one of my favorite shows- HGTV's Get It Sold, Sabrina Soto suggested to use vinegar mixed with water. I couldn't remember the measurements, so I went to the web and found these. I haven't tried any yet, but I will...

1. One of the easiest and most basic solutions for homemade wood cleaners is a mixture of 1/2 cup white vinegar to 1 gallon of warm water. Dip a sponge mop in the floor cleaning solution, and squeeze it several times until the mop is almost dry. Rinse the mop out frequently. There is no need to rinse the floors, but you may want to take a clean cloth or towel and dry any damp areas.

2. 
   An old tried and true solution for cleaning wood floors is to brew 10 tea bags to 1/2 gallon of water. Let the mixture steep until very strong. As with the vinegar and water solution, use a sponge mop dampened with the mixture and wipe dry afterwards.
3. A great, easy, and gentle cleaner for wood floor laminate is a mixture of 2 tablespoons baby shampoo to 1 gallon of warm water. As with any wet solution, use a sponge mop that has been squeezed to the point of being almost dry before mopping the floor. Wipe the floor after mopping with a rag or old towel to soak up any excess water.
4. Another wood laminate cleaner is a mixture of 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 cup unscented, dye-free dish soap. As with any wet solution, use a sponge mop that has been squeezed to the point of being almost dry before mopping the floor. Wipe the floor after mopping with a rag or old towel to soak up any excess water.
5. Mix 1/4 cup of borax and 2 tablespoons baby shampoo with 1 gallon of water. This solution not only cleans well, but also smells nice when you've finished the cleaning job.
   
6. For another great wood floor cleaner, mix 1 part baby shampoo, 1 part alcohol, and 4 parts water. Using a sponge mop that has been squeezed to the point of being almost dry, mop the floor. Immediately wipe the floor after mopping with a rag or old towel to soak up any excess water.
