Hi carina, I tend to use Method products but I’m sure there are others online or maybe in supermarkets. Good luck. Xxxxx

Hello Carrina, as mentioned by Sassy Method is very good it's what I use. I also have a spray mop which I add a few drops of Essential Oil (eucalyptus oil is good) and a squeeze of washing up liquid topped up with water.

We have one of those, brilliant thing. Light as a feather and wide too. We put some Flash in it which doesn't affect me, the Method products are also good.

I also have a spray mop & just use a vinegar mixture - 1/3rd white vinegar 2/3rds water - seems to work ok but I do live in a 3rd floor flat so my floors may not get quite so dirty.

I have a micro fibre mop, you can either use it dry or wet, then rinse it clean or pop it into the washing machine.

In between I use an ordinary floor mop, water and Method spray.

I also use micro fibre dusters .

Vinegar in water works, too.

Could you use a steam cleaner?

Hi Carrina, I mostly use warm water some vinegar and lemon juice for a nice fresh smell.

Or sometimes I add 2 drops of peppermint oil to the warm water. I believe warm water cleans most of floor, if not to dirty. If I clean my tiles in my kitchen I use backing power and backing soda, I wipe the floor with warm water than put the powder on it, wait 5 minutes than wipe away with hot water, nice white tiles again. Hope it will help you a bit. 😘🌹🌹

To avoid all cleaning products use a steam mop and for more stubborn grease and dirt use white vinegar

I use Ecover washing up liquid, toilet cleaner, wash powder and softener. I have Method wood polish, kitchen spray cleaner,handwash and bathroom cleaner. They are all lovely and totally natural. Yes,they are more expensive than the chemical counterparts but health is priceless? I use a white vinegar homemade spray to defrost my car and for various cleaning jobs too. I made an air freshener for the toilet with water,small amount of vodka and natural oil ( I like lavender best) There are lots of recipes on the net for a chemical free home. I wish I could find a natural hairspray that would hold my hair in place though, normal hairspray affects me badly now! I did try a homemade one using sugar,it was a disaster!! :-)

Hello. I usually use vinegar in water, works really good. Also you can buy and use for example steam mop, but you need to find device which will be good for your type of floor. Pay attention on this! By the way if you have a car and you often clean it, I can recommend to choose good pressure washer here cleanup.expert/best-car-hig... such device you can also use for other surfaces!
