HOW TO Clean your floors with VINEGAR & DAWN (AMAZING transformation!)

Wow. So glad I found this. My life needs a total makeover and cleaning and decluttering an old house from the 50s is a sore focal point. My 90ish parents' home has now become mine. One has passed, another in a nursing home. I'm tired, I now work full-time after years of being their caregiver and I have lupus. I have subscribed to your channel after seeing this because it will help me tremendously. Thank you for keeping it real too. So tired of ppl not understanding that life happens and we all have different cards we're dealt. I look forward to going on a journey with your videos to help get me through all the chaos! I love that you're an artist too...I have art stuff all over the place and would love to be organized so I can paint again 🤗🌈.

Okay I love this totally relatable! How house needs repaired but we can't fix it so our floor is ruined too and there's a lot of other things that need fixed so I'm so glad I found a video of someone dealing with the same. I see so many videos of homes that look unlived in and pristine and I get sad but the reality for most people is homes like ours well loved well used homes

[@Coffeecup.0110]

I agree totally. We can’t just throw everything away and get new. We’ve got to figure out how to make what we have clean and usable here in my house, too! ❤😊☮️

[@williameckelberry2743]

I have been in the cleaning business for 30 plus years. A very common problem is using to much soap, that just attracts more dirt. Only use as much soap as needed to remove the dirt,and rinse well after.

[@TracyAkamine]

Thanks for the info!

[@avagrego3195]

rinsing is important

[@sheilamckie8106]

Thanks 😊

[@midlife_minimalist]

I just use a steam mop, no cleaner unless there is a particular issue. The guy that professionally cleans tile said same thing as you - minimize use of cleaners and how much water you put on floor because it pushes dirt into grout. I also found a magic eraser works great at least on ceramic or porcelain tile

[@rogerandjoan4329]

@@midlife_minimalist I’m in the middle of cleaning my grout and you’re right. From now on I’m going to vacuum first and get any mud etc up wi5h a sponge before mopping. I think the grout sealer also needs to be applied far more often than the bottle says. I bet it doesn’t last more than 9 months.

[@barryseaton3121]

Your floor cleaning method interested me but as I live in the UK I had to find an alternative to Dawn, lo and behold it is Fairy who apparently also make Dawn and to the same Specification so off I went to clean my white coloured vinyl that I have struggled with for years, it worked like a miracle after a couple of washes and I am so pleased, thank you.

[@dianemiller3432]

I moved into this apartment in 2016 and I tried everything, I mean every thing to clean the floor and the grout. Thank you so much for this cleaning floor advice. I used everything you mentioned except I didn't have the Dawn dish soap, so I used a little over a cup of apple cider vinegar and a few squirts of Ajax dish soap. I also accidentally boiled my water in the microwave. I then mixed all the ingredients and sprayed away! while waiting, I watched a show on t.v. and here, it was a half hour that the spray was on my floor! lol Anyway, when I went to clean it, I didn't even have to use a scrub brush! I just used an old tee shirt and it came off so easily. I was so amazed! wow! Thank you again for the suggestion about the vinegar, dish soap. I will use this now for everything!!!

[@susanfernandes7748]

I boil the vinegar in my coffee kettle which cleans it and heats it then add it to the Dawn. Thanks for the video!

My mom raised me to clean house very thoroughly. She was a nurse. We used to clean our floors scrubbing them by hand with a bar of Fels Naptha, bucket of hot water, scrub brush and rag, and it worked great! Too old to get on my knees to scrub floors now, but I wish I could because I feel that’s the only way they get really clean your floor looked great, thanks for sharing!

A lot of people commented on the negative effects of vinegar but my feeling was, this cheap, sheet vinyl is so old (at least 25 yrs old) and crappy, I wasn’t worried about what a little bit of vinegar would do (it’s barely any). It was the only thing that got out that deep down, ground in dirt. I’ve since put down self-stick vinyl tiles & sweep mop at least weekly, so tough cleaners aren’t needed anymore.

My mom uses vinegar/water mixture on the regular which was recommended by her floor installer. Heating is to help with mixing, dissolving the grime. Getting the dissolved grime up no matter the solution is key. A microfiber or something to soak it up does well, a mop that smears it around does not. LA's Totally Awesome all-purpose does a great job as does the concentrate for grime buildup. I often think Dawn comes up with these hacks which work some of the time but not any better than other products. Glad you found a solution.

Apple Cider vinegar is for drinking not cleaning. White distilled vinegar is for cleaning because of the high acid content. Better switch it up

[@OGLYASDI]

@@didileong4116 I’m so sorry, I just saw your question: I use about a tablespoon of Dawn and about 1/4 cup of vinegar to 2 gallons of hot water, when I use this combination I noticed that my floors stay cleaner longer. But you would probably have to adjust this to your liking…I just eyeball the mixture every time I make it. Sure hope this helps and once again I apologize for taking so long to answer.

I can't find my fave anymore. Spic N Span. Worked every time!!

I remember that stuff! 😃

Check out Dollar Tree

Woo lookit that floor! Another good way (and for walls cabinets etc) is a little powdered laundry detergent in hot water. The enzymes really break down grease, gunk etc

[@TracyAkamine]

Thanks for the tip! I’m obviously not a good housekeeper so thats news to me, lol. I’m working on it though.

[@carollizc]

That's what my mum used to wash our floors with, just washing powder and hot water. Worked like a charm. It's hard to find the powdered detergent now, and I've been leery of using the liquid stuff as it's so concentrated.

[@sonyahubbard3226]

@@carollizc I get Arm & Hammer powder detergent. It’s a good price, does the job and has a wonderful light clean & fresh scent.

[@carollizc]

@@sonyahubbard3226 Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for it

[@deniseramosgonzalez4799]

I have done this before and yes it works great 😊 great video

[@TracyAkamine]

It works on the tub too😃

[@rogerandjoan4329]

Soap and vinegar is a pretty good idea for really dirty floors. You could also use lestoil with vinegar too. The lestoil does a really good job with grease.

[@adoreivette7373]

Omg yes I saw some in store yesterday and brought back memories. I used to clean my mom's floors as a kid with a scouring pad and lestoil and it would get everything up

[@rogerandjoan4329]

@@adoreivette7373 Hahahaha Once you have kids, you become like a chemist with a Ph.D. to get the floor clean. I’ve been tempted to use it on them.

Thank you from the opposite end of the country! I'm on the Atlantic coast. This I shall try!

[@artspark7697]

Try it in the bathtub. Spray 2 parts vinegar and one part Dawn let it sit for an hour and you barely have to scrub. IT's great!

[@TracyAkamine]

Yes! I’ve used it in tub & it works fantastic 😃

Yezzzz girl!!!! Aloha!!! You did that well 😍😍

Thank you!😊

[@KTB77777]

If my water is super hot, the solution of distilled vinegar and Dawn it works even better. I use it on the inside of my all glass shower and I don’t even need to worry about streaks!

[@TracyAkamine]

Thanks for the tip! I use it on my tub too and it definitely works better than regular cleaners I notice. I ran out & cleaned with other things the last 2 times but didn’t get as good of results. I’m also going to try use less of the Dawn when I make another batch as many people have commented they use way less & it works great. Thank you for watching! 😊

[@JesusisKing222]

i've used this mixture on my shower walls and it works great but can't kneel anymore. Any suggestions for a scrubber for the tub?

[@jasbirkaurvillaschi8019]

Those of you who have marble/limestone or delicate floor can get a great clean with Oxiclean and boiling water especially dirty grout lines

Let me know how it goes! And P.S: it works great on the bathtub too😏

[@MissFortwynt]

I bought some 30% vinegar at Walmart to spray on some mold. Wondering if it would be too strong to use for floors? I'm trying to clean some really grimey, sticky floors for someone that just moved into an apartment. Everything else we've tried so far just can't get up whatever this residue is from the last tenant 😕

[@johndi1962]

Great video down to earth review not the usual everything has to be perfect and rehearsed reviews.

[@mamasitakat]

Hi. I realize this video is a year old, but I have a quick question. Should the liquid still be warm when using it? Maybe for deep cleaning you get better results with it warm, but for everyday use, maybe it doesn't matter? I probably answerred my own question, but I need validation (lol). Great video. Love your honesty and keeping it real. Thank you!

[@TracyAkamine]

I’m not an expert but I’ve used it not warm🙂

[@noreenswiech116]

Love this video. I totally wing it too when it comes to following directions.

[@TracyAkamine]

I’m like that with food recipes too🤪

I use bleach and dawn , comes out great
