Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why does fabric softener help keep floors clean longer?
Fabric softener reduces static electricity, preventing dust and pet hair from sticking to your floors. It also adds a light protective layer that repels dirt.
2. Will vinegar damage my floors?
Vinegar is safe for most hard surfaces like tile, linoleum, and laminate. However, for hardwood floors, use a diluted solution or substitute with a gentle cleaner like castile soap.
3. How often should I use this mop solution?
For best results, mop high-traffic areas once or twice a week. Less-used rooms can be cleaned every other week.
4. Can I use this mixture in a spray mop?
Yes! Just pour the solution into your spray mop’s reservoir and clean as usual.
5. Will my floors feel sticky after mopping?
No, as long as you don’t overuse fabric softener. Stick to the recommended amount, and your floors will remain smooth and streak-free.
