Essential oils can help you safely clean your hardwood floors.
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is a great essential oil for cleaning. It has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and can help disinfect your surfaces. As an added bonus, the oil has a fresh, clean smell that helps clear your sinuses. Mix the oil with warm water or vinegar in a bucket or spray bottle to tackle cleaning your new hardwood floors with ease.
Lavender
Lavender is a popular essential oil for many different reasons. People love the calming scent of the oil but it’s also great for cleaning. Its anti-bacterial properties are a little bit milder than some of the other essentials oils. So, you may want to mix it with vinegar and an additional oil for cleaning purposes.
Lemongrass
If you’re looking for something with a little bit more anti-bacterial punch, lemongrass is a great option. The oil not only smells great but, it also has potent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal power. So, if you’re dealing with any kind of fungus or mold issues in your home, lemongrass is a great option.
