Ingredients
To make your floors shine and stay dust-free longer, gather the following:
1 gallon of warm water
½ cup of white vinegar (natural disinfectant and grease cutter)
1 tablespoon of dish soap (removes stubborn grime)
10 drops of essential oil (eucalyptus, lemon, or lavender for a fresh scent)
1 teaspoon of fabric softener (the secret ingredient that repels dust and prevents buildup)
Instructions

Fill a bucket with 1 gallon of warm water.
Add white vinegar and dish soap, stirring gently to combine.
Enhance with Essential Oils and Fabric Softener
Add 10 drops of your preferred essential oil for a pleasant scent and antimicrobial properties.
Stir in the fabric softener, which helps repel dust and prevents static buildup on floors.
Mopping Process
Dip your mop into the solution, wring out excess liquid, and start mopping as usual.
For stubborn stains, allow the solution to sit for a minute before scrubbing.
Let Floors Air Dry
Avoid walking on freshly mopped floors until they dry completely.
You’ll notice a lasting shine and a cleaner, dust-resistant surface!
