You are about to make the most amazing natural and safe cleaners in your own home.
General Floor Cleaner
In a bucket mix 100ml (1/2 cup) of white vinegar with 4lrs (1 gallon) of hot water. This is safe for all hard floor types, tiles and any
washable surfaces.
Natural Kitchen Floor Cleaner
225ml (1 cup) of vinegar
30g (1/4 cup) of washing soda
tablespoon of vegetable oil-based liquid soap
8ltrs (2 gallons) hot water
Combine all ingredient, stirring well to ensure that the washing soda is dissolved. Mop your floor as usual.
Natural Wood Floor Wax
A wax is a semi solid which will feed and seal wood so that it keeps its looks. For best results ensure that the wood is dry.
225ml (1 cup) base oil
110ml (1/2 cup) vodka or rubbing alcohol
28-38g (1-1 1/2 oz) grated beeswax
38-50g (1 1/2-2oz) carnauba wax (depending on firmness of wax needed)
20 drops of essential lavender oil
Note: Carnauba wax is brittle and can be easily and quickly pulverised by plcing in a plastic bag and lightly tapping with a hammer or similar tool.
Put the base oil and waxes into the top of a double boiler and place over the
bottom portion of the double boiler to which water has been added and is already
simmering. At a low heat, stir until all the waxes have dissolved.
Remove from the heat and add the vodka (or rubbing alcohol), the essential
oil and blend together well.
Pour into a heat resistant container and allow to harden. Use a rag to rub into the wood.
