## Important Tips
* **Test First:** Before using on hardwood or delicate floors, test a small hidden spot to ensure the vinegar won’t dull the finish. For hardwood, dilute vinegar even more or skip it if unsure.
* **Use a Damp Mop:** Too much water can damage certain floors, so wring your mop well.
* **No Rinse Needed:** The vinegar solution evaporates quickly and doesn’t require rinsing.

## Why This Works Better Than Plain Water
Regular water alone can spread dirt around or leave streaks. Vinegar’s natural acidity breaks down grime and kills bacteria, while essential oils uplift the scent and add cleaning power. Together, they turn simple water into a floor-cleaning superhero.
