Looking for a more environmentally friendly way to clean your floors? Learn the recipes for five natural DIY floor cleaners in this video by Better Homes and Gardens:

Recipe #1: Vinegar: Mix 1 gallon distilled water with 1/2 cup vinegar. NOTE: Skip this recipe if you have natural stone floors.

Recipe #2: Castile Soap: Add 1 tbsp. castile soap and 3 drops essential oil to one gallon hot water. Keep extra castile soap for future DIY cleaning recipes.

Recipe #3: Liquid Soap: Add 2 tbsp. distilled white vinegar, 2 tbsp. plant-base liquid soap and 10 drops essential oil to one gallon water. Use pine or lemon essential oil for a fresh-scented floor cleaner.

Recipe #4: Vegetable Oil: Mix one cup of water, 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar and 1 tsp. vegetable oil. This small-batch recipe works well for spot treatments.

Recipe #5: Washing Soda: Add 2 tbsp. distilled white vinegar, 2 tbsp. washing soda and 1-1/2 tsp. liquid dish soap to one gallon hot water (it’s important to use hot water to dissolve the washing soda).
