How much vinegar do you use to clean floors?
Mix together 1/4 cup of white vinegar with a 1 quart of water in your bucket. Mop in small sections and when you need to rinse your mop try to rinse it in the sink before putting it back into your vinegar solution so you are not putting the dirt into the clean solution.
Can vinegar damage tiles?
When it comes to cleaning stone, concrete, and ceramic tile floors, leave the vinegar under the sink. Vinegar will strip away the protective seal coating, making the floor vulnerable to water damage, stains, and pitting. Ceramic tile is fairly impervious to acid, but the grout isn’t.
How do you clean a tile floor with vinegar and baking soda?
Combine 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of dishwashing detergent, 1 2/3 cups baking soda with 2 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar. Stir the mixture until all the lumps are dissolved; then pour it into a clean spray bottle.
