Buying a brand new home is exciting! The baseboards are pure white, and the tile floor is spotless. Perhaps most exciting of all, the floors leave your socks a pure white when you slide around barefoot! But then life happens. Kids and dogs happen. And even if you are in the blissful age of retirement, dirt still somehow finds its way into your home and the floors don’t sparkle like they did the day you got the keys to your new home. It is the sad reality of homeownership – keeping your home clean!
Instead of paying big money to a professional cleaning company, there is one simple method to ensure your floors stay clean. It doesn’t take fancy equipment or lots of money. All you need is an old fashioned cotton mop, some dish soap, and some vinegar, and you’re ready.
