Before cleaning the floor, add 2 things to the water.
Imagine if kitchen waste changed your daily cleaning routine? Two unexpected ingredients could revolutionize the way you clean your floors and take care of your home.
Expired Milk: A Second Life for Forgotten Milk Cartons.
Expired milk, which we often carelessly discard, can be an unexpected cleaning aid. Thanks to its slightly acidic properties, it dissolves stubborn dirt and gives surfaces a shine. This natural product can even neutralize persistent odors.
How to use it?
Mix 250 ml of expired milk with 2 liters of lukewarm water.
Soak the mop in this mixture and clean the floors as usual.
Then, rinse with clean water to remove any remaining odors.
Bonus: the milk nourishes the wood. You can restore shine to your furniture and floors without using harsh chemicals.
Rice water: a hidden treasure for your kitchen
Rice water: a hidden treasure for your kitchen.
Rice rinsing water, often thrown away, is a real goldmine. Rich in starch, it has cleaning and antistatic properties, ideal for floors, especially tiles and glass surfaces.
Steps for a spotless floor:
Once the rice is ready, collect the water in a container.
Dilute it with a small amount of clean water to avoid excess starch.
Clean the floor with a mop soaked in this mixture.
Then, wipe the floor with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
Bonus tip: The subtle scent of rice water helps neutralize unpleasant odors and is a great alternative to often overly perfumed detergents.
Why do these ingredients make a difference?
Unlike conventional products, expired milk and rice water are natural, economical, and environmentally friendly. They allow for smart waste management while highlighting your carbon footprint.
Tip:
By alternating these two methods, you combine effective cleaning with eco-friendly maintenance. Try it now!
