Deep cleaning your house doesn’t need to be an expensive process. We know that people tend to believe that they need all sorts of cleaning products to keep their homes spotless, but in reality, cleaning can be cheap and easy if you choose to engage in some DIY.
You can create all sorts of household cleaners using nothing but products that you usually have at home, even when it comes to cleaning wood. Learn how to keep wooden floors clean and shiny and properly clean your wooden furniture using nothing but common household products.
1. Use beer to clean your furniture
If you are ever drinking beer and get distracted and end up with leftover stale beer inside the can, don’t throw it out – instead, repurpose it and use it to clean your wooden furniture.
All you need to do is dampen a soft microfiber cloth with the leftover beer and use it to wipe your furniture gently. It’s a great replacer for your typical wood cleaner spray, and it will leave your furniture clean and shiny. Plus, you end up avoiding waste – the planet will be thankful!
2. DIY Wood Polish
You are cleaning your house, and you find out that you ran out of your store-bought wood floor cleaner – what do you do? Run out to the closest store and get a new one? What if we told you that you could make your own wood cleaner, DIY, and barely take any time and effort?
Get a spray bottle and mix 1-part white wine vinegar with 3 parts vegetable oil and apply this mixture to your wooden floors.
Make them shine by rubbing them gently using a soft clean cloth and keep it up until your feet absorb the full product. Now that you know what to clean wood floors with, you should also know that this homemade cleaner can also be used on wooden furniture.
3. Tea can be the perfect cleaner
But if you prefer a homemade wood cleaner without vinegar, we also have a solution for you. Your hardwood floors will look spotless if you clean them with something as simple as… black tea.
