DIY
An effective cleaner for washing your floors is to mix 1 cup of vinegar in a bucket of water.
To clean your floors a little more deeply and for your parquet floors, you can mix:
- 1/4 cup of liquid Castile soap
- 1/4 cup of white vinegar
- approx. 8 litres of hot water
For the maintenance of your floor, use a little vegetable oil (such as olive oil or almond oil) that you rub with a soft cloth.
