Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 White vinegar and water. It'll clean just about anything. Sharyn From: KLSIRDDOGS@... [mailto:KLSIRDDOGS@...] I ran out of my natural floor cleaner that lasted me almost 2 years. It was ok, but not exceptional. Any ideas on a good floor (linoleum) cleaner that won't kill me or my pets? Thanks, Deborah --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

She has recipes for everything and you can make them at home. elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: KLSIRDDOGS@... health Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 8:56 AM Subject: floors I ran out of my natural floor cleaner that lasted me almost 2 years.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Plain vinegar works really well on windows, mirrors and stainless steel. I never buy window cleaner any more because I'm allergic to one brand and I cannot remember which one it is. A spray of vinegar, followed by a spray of peroxide will disinfect counter tops better than bleach! Since I prepare bulk food for my dogs in the kitchen, this is good to know.... I'm still looking for something good for floors. I found that even vinegar with dawn didn't work very well to clean up muddy paw prints, and it left streaks. I broke down and bought some Lysol and am annoyed that they changed the fragrance and you can only get lemon or pine. I would prefer to use something natural that works. and the K9's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 HARDWOOD FLOOR WASH Note: If you have loose boards or wood tiles, hand wipe these areas with the wash. Excess liquid from the mop can get in the cracks and cause futher buckling. 1 1/2 cups water 1 1/2 cups vinegar 20 drops peppermint essential oil Combine all ingredients in a spray bottle. Use sparingly, working in small sections of the floor. Dry mop the floor after washing. CITRUS FLOOR CLEANER Nothing works like citrus in the kitchen! 1 gallon hot water 2 tablespoons liquid castile soap 15 drops sweet orange essential oil 8 drops lemon essential oil or 1/2 cup lemon juice Combine ingredients in a large bucket. Dip mop into the bucket and squeeze out excess liquid. Clean floor by working in sections, using short strokes and dipping mop as needed. Rinsing is not necessary. TOUGH DIRT & GREASE FORMULA Put the grease-cutting power of vinegar to use with this excellent formula. 1 gallon hot water 2 tablespoons liquid castile soap 1/4 cup washing soda 1 cup vinegar 20 drops eucalyptus, peppermint, or tea tree essential oil Combine ingredients in a large bucket. Dip mop intot he bucket and squeeze out excess liquid. Clean floor by working in sections, using short strokes and dipping mop as needed.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 You are right - Lysol is very toxic to dogs and should never be used.
