Cleaning the floor is, to say the
least, essential to keep our home hygienic and welcoming. With the help of the
right natural remedies we can make these surfaces shine without using chemicals
and doing our part to help the environment.

Clean the stoneware, ceramic and concrete floor
The biggest flaw of stoneware,
although it is made of hard and compact porcelain, is its tendency to absorb
oily substances and leave halos, so we want to create a detergent focused on
the removal of fatty substances. Furthermore, materials such as cement and
ceramics are prone to being scratched, so we have to use a very soft cloth
during cleaning, even better if made of microfiber.
Create your natural detergent by
combining: 3 liters of water, 4 tablespoons of vinegar, 4 tablespoons of
alcohol and a drop of liquid soap.
Be careful to squeeze the cloth well
so as not to leave accumulations of detergent on the floor that could create
rings.
Sticky and greasy stains
If you find grease stains or sticky
areas, sprinkle the areas with vinegar and leave it for a few minutes before
washing with the detergent you have just created.
Clean the floor in marble, granite and stone
Materials such as marble, granite and
stone are very durable and long-lasting, but can still be stained. To clean
these materials without leaving marks, prepare a natural detergent by mixing in
a bucket: 3 liters of hot water, 10 tablespoons of alcohol, 2 tablespoons of
baking soda and 1 tablespoon of natural flake soap.
After mixing well and dissolving the
soap, soak a cloth in the detergent and squeeze it well to make sure you do not
leave annoying halos on the floor.
Remove the opacity
With time, especially marble will tend
to lose its lucidity and become opaque. To bring it back to its shine, mix the
plaster and water until you get a fluid cream. At this point pass the cream
over the entire area to be treated and let it dry for about 30 minutes. When
the plaster is completely dry it aspires to remove the excess and washes the
floor with soap. The plaster will flake the opaque patina (the same way a scrub
acts on the skin) and soap will complete the work enhancing the shine of the
marble.
Clean the parquet and wood floor
So we come to the probably most
difficult material to treat. The wood and in particular the parquet are very
delicate and must be washed in a non-aggressive way, with solutions that do not
foam, easy to rinse and that do not provide excessive doses of water on the
surface. Nevertheless, a simple DIY recipe aimed at removing the layer of dirt
through the action of baking soda is perfect for this type of floor.
In a mixing bucket: 3 liters of water,
2 tablespoons of baking soda and a small amount of soap (which you can dissolve
in boiling water in advance). Now all that remains is to pass a microfibre
cloth soaked in detergent, but well wrung out, on the area to be treated.
If at the same time I wanted to wash
and wax the floor it would be enough to add 3 tablespoons of liquid wax ,
preferably natural to the mixture just created. In this way the floor will be
sanitized and the patina of wax spread on the surface will protect the wood,
giving it that much sought-after brilliant appearance.

How to remove stubborn stains with natural remedies
Finally we come to the section of
stubborn stains. Most of us use chemical cleaners because they find them more
effective and efficient in removing especially stubborn stains, but it is only
because they are using the wrong natural remedy.
We see a brief overview of the most
common stubborn stains on our floors and how to remove them with non-chemical
detergents.
Black scratches an
Ever-green of floors, often left by
shoes or rubber objects. A little simple alcohol will reduce the adhesion of
the rubber to the floor, which after a few minutes will come off with absorbent
paper. Not to be used on marble and parquet to avoid halos.
Halos on outdoor marble
Speaking of halos, let's see how to
remove the residues of limestone and dust left by the beach on the outdoor
marble. I know you're tired that everyone repeats you that the fantastic white
detergent is a cleanser, but it is really a versatile motion solution: pour a
glass in a bucket of warm water and then pass it on the floor, your marble will
thank you.
Urine and grease stains
Grease can be effectively combated by
another pillar of eco-friendly and do-it-yourself cleaning, baking soda.
Sprinkle the affected area with baking soda and let it work for a few minutes, and
then remove with a damp cloth.
Urine is also neutralized by the
composition of bicarbonate, especially on wooden and parquet floors. First, dry
the urine with absorbent paper or old towels, then cover the area with baking
soda and let it work overnight. The next morning, remove the baking soda and
wash the floor, not only will the stain disappear but the smell will disappear
with it.
