I’m 16 and just got diagnosed with a dust mite allergy so it’s really important to keep my space clean. My mom offered to clean for me but she works all day and is always exhausted, she also struggles with her mental health. So I decided to do it myself and this video was really helpful!! I ended up cleaning our entire apartment so she wouldn’t have to clean after work.

We used to have a cleaning service every two weeks and they would always get down and wipe the floors with a microfiber cloth and a bucket of floor cleaner/hot water. To this day it's what I still do and it's not as hard or tedious as it sounds and the results are so much better. There is something about it a mop just cannot replicate when it comes to getting in corners, and you can get the sideboards while you're at it. I feel like it gets every piece of crumb and dirt better too.

Thank you! I have a steam mop and love it but sounds like it’s a no go for hardwood.

Is 'laminate' flooring same as 'engineered wood' ?

[mariegatzmer]

Love my laminate, I was told to use Windex to clean.

I'm 76 years old and you DIY formulas are excellent, with no harsh chemicals and weird perfume smells!
I watched this video in the fall of 2022 and used the laminate DIY to maintain my flooring in my condo, Worked so much better than the Shaw Floor Cleaner recommended by the builder! (We were given a mop with microfiber heads, a bottle of Shaw floor cleaner and told NOT to use Bona.) Only used the Shaw about once a month because if I used it every week there was a built up on the floors. This DIY formula was wonderful and I was able to easily maintain my floors. I used it for constant quick cleans when I was selling my condo last year!
I moved into smaller, new condo with Luxury Vinyl Plank, that supposedly is a commercial grade product, but it is like peel and stick?! Bona was recommended? I have used you DIY formula with great results!

I love your videos ! Thanks for such simple, easy recipes for safe cleaning!

So helpful. Threw a party trying to clean up 🫧

One of the best videos on floors I've seen out of thousands. VINEGAR, ALCOHOL AND ESSENTIAL OIL ( preference ) folks!!! All 3, if needed, could spotlessly clean an entire home! And I agree, if I had millions, I'd be getting cement stamped flooring no doubt !!! 😂Great video ...applause because this one sums up the correct necessities- simply done.

I would love to have polished tiles in kitchen and bathrooms, and I still love carpet in all the other rooms

3 months ago I started watching your videos when I was bored one day. Now I own my own home cleaning business and have a few nice recurring cleanings :)

[bulldogmamabulldogmama]

Have you taken her cleaning course. It’s amazing, ,,,

[bunmom]

My dream floors would be parquet flooring and herring bone tile for the bathrooms 💕
