Streak Free Floor Cleaner

So you might be thinking - "this has nothing to do with health or fitness"... but it most certainly does... when I set out on my health and fitness journey, I was determined to "clean up" all aspects of my life... Clean food, working out, healthier cleaning products, organic foods, clean up my finances and mind...

So one of the issues I had in my house were my beautiful dark hard wood floors... they look spectacular but they are the biggest pain! They show EVERYTHING!!! Traditional floor cleaner left them streaky with a residue and it drove me crazy! I kept saying "I need to make my own cleaner and try that" but I was consistently lazy with it until one day I needed to clean the floors and I was all out of floor cleaner! Then tah-dah - my streak free floor cleaner was invented! 4 simple ingredients and warning it doesn't smell pretty so if you have some essential oils I would recommend adding a drop or two! You can smell the cleaner as you are using the product, but afterwards you do not smell it!!!

  1. One of my pet peeves is having a floor with streaks on it. I've tried many products and there's always something wrong with them. You seem to have the right combination of ingredients to get the job done. And, that is at a fraction of the cost of getting cleaning products from the store. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
