For floor cleaner, consider a natural option instead of the Mr Clean or Pinesol. After all, how many times have you puit your hands on your floor? How many times have your children played on the floor and then had breakfast? I don't care how often you wash their hands...those chemicals are everywhere!
So, we buy this. Brommmer's Magic Soap does it all, and when buying a larger size, it isn't so expensive. Honestly, when a gallon is $42 and it replaces 8-10 cleaning products in your house...it does warrant some respect! This can replace your dish soap, used in your glass cleaner, clean your floors....its a vital ingredient and a gallon lasts forever! So, promise yourself that the next time you run low on floor cleaner, bypass the PineSol and instead opt for something that you can feel good about....its an investment, but will pay for itself time and time again.
As for the scent options, Eucalyptus is a good choice, especially since its a natural insecticide against flying bugs (eg cockroaches). Tea tree oil is an effective repellent against mosquitoes, fleas and lice. So, what are your regional/seasonal issues? Since we live in Florida, keeping the cockroaches are the primary issue with us! I don't care how clean your house is, these little critters always want to get in regardless....so why not have your cleaning agents help you fight the good fight?
To use, dilute one-part soap into 40 parts water for light cleaning. Use it full strength for heavy-duty jobs. Use it somewhere in between for dirty floors. So, if you are using 1 cup of this soap in 1 gallon of floor cleaner, you have only used 6% if the entire contents...so less than $3 to clean your floors. Yes, its a bit more expensive than Mr Clean, but not so expensive that its not doable....so simply consider it a green luxury item.
