What kind of flooring do you have in your house? Hardwood, carpet, tile, linoleum, laminate, concrete?
How much do you spend to clean all of those different surfaces?
We have 3 different types of flooring in our home, hardwood, tile and carpet. Between cleaners, polishes and the occasional steam machine I was spending a small fortune on commercial cleaners every year. When I first began looking for ways to cut our budget I was surprised at how much I was actually spending to clean our floors, it was ridiculous! That’s when I decided to try making my own floor cleaners.
Here are some of my go to recipes that get the job done, just as well as the commercial cleaners.

This is so helpful! With how often I have to clean my floors I really can’t afford to buy expensive products. Pinning this, tweeting and stumbling. <3
