Keeping your floors clean is essential for a healthy home environment. Instead of using chemical-laden cleaners, try this natural and effective floor cleaner recipe featuring the refreshing and antimicrobial properties of Eucalyptus essential oil. Combined with the cleaning power of white vinegar, this blend will leave your floors sparkling and your home smelling fresh.

What You Need:

• 10 drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil 
• 2 litres of hot water
• 100ml of white vinegar

Method

Prepare the Cleaning Solution: 

Fill a bucket with 2 litres of hot water. Add 100ml of white vinegar to the water. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and helps break down grime and dirt. Add 10 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil. This oil not only provides a pleasant aroma but also has natural antibacterial and antiviral properties.

Mix Thoroughly: 

Stir the solution well to ensure the Eucalyptus oil is evenly distributed. You can use a mop to do this, swishing it around in the bucket. 

Clean Your Floors:

Dip your mop into the solution and wring out the excess liquid. Mop your floors as usual, making sure to cover all areas, especially high-traffic spots. The hot water will help dissolve dirt, while the vinegar and Eucalyptus oil will sanitize and freshen your floors.

Let It Dry: 

Allow the floors to air dry. The vinegar scent will dissipate, leaving behind the clean, fresh aroma of Eucalyptus.

Benefits of This Natural Floor Cleaner:

• Eucalyptus Essential Oil: Known for its refreshing scent and antimicrobial properties, it helps disinfect and deodorize your floors.
• White Vinegar: A natural cleaner that cuts through grease and grime while killing bacteria.
• Hot Water: Enhances the cleaning power by dissolving dirt and grime.

Switching to a natural floor cleaner with Eucalyptus essential oil and white vinegar is a simple and effective way to maintain a clean and healthy home. Enjoy the benefits of chemical-free cleaning while infusing your living space with the invigorating scent of Eucalyptus. Happy cleaning!

Safety and Tips: 

This cleaner is safe for most types of hard flooring, including tile, vinyl, laminate, and sealed wood. However, always do a spot test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage your flooring. 

Use hot water to maximise cleaning effectiveness, but ensure it’s not scalding to avoid burns. 

Eucalyptus essential oil can be potent, so use it sparingly and keep it away from children and pets.
