Vinegar:-
A few drops in the cleaning water will help remove grease panicles. Dull,
greasy film on no-wax linoleum can be washed away with 1/2 cup white vinegar
mixed into 1.5 litres water. Your floor will look sparkling clean.
For Brick and Stone Floors: Vinegar:- Mix 1 cup white vinegar into 3.5 litres water. Scrub the
floor with a brush and the vinegar solution. Rinse with clean water.
For Ceramic Tile: Vinegar:- Mix 1/4 cup white vinegar (more if very dirty) into 3.5
litres water. This solution removes most dirt without scrubbing and doesn't
leave a film. Washing ceramic tiles with soap does not work very well in
hard water areas as it leaves an insoluble film.
Club Soda:- Polishing your floor with Club Soda will make it sparkle.
Oil Soap:- Use according to package directions.
Wax Remover:-
For Vinyl and Asbestos Tiles: Club Soda:- Remove wax buildup by pouring a small amount of club soda
on a section. Scrub this in well. Let it soak in a few minutes and wipe
clean.
For Linoleum Flooring: Isopropyl Alcohol:- To remove old wax by mopping, mix a solution of 3
pans water to 1 pan rubbing alcohol. Scrub this in well and rinse
thoroughly. Be sure the area is well-ventilated and wear gloves.
Special Problems:- To remove black heel marks: Baking Soda:- Rub the heel mark with a paste of baking soda and
water. Don't use too much water or the baking soda will lose its abrasive
quality.
To remove tar: Scrape up excess tar with the side of a dull
knife. Rub again with your fingernail, a Popsicle stick, or anything that
won't scratch the floor. Finally, wipe up the tar with a dry cloth.
To remove crayon marks: Toothpaste:- Crayon marks on the
floor may be removed by rubbing them with a damp cloth containing
toothpaste. Toothpaste will not work well on wallpaper or porous surfaces.
To remove grease from wood floors: Ice Cube or Cold Water:-
If you spill grease on a wood floor, immediately place an ice cube or very
cold water on the spot. The grease will harden and can then be scraped off
with a knife. Then iron a piece of cloth over the grease spot.
