## 🧽 How to Use It:

### Step 1: Mix the Solution

In a bucket, combine warm water with vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap. Stir gently to mix—but be careful! Baking soda and vinegar fizz when combined, so go slowly to avoid overflow.

### Step 2: Mop the Floors

Dip your mop into the solution, wring it out well, and mop as usual. For hardwood or laminate floors, be sure not to soak the mop—damp mopping is key.

### Step 3: Let It Air Dry

There’s no need to rinse—this solution leaves **no sticky residue**. Let the floors air dry naturally, and enjoy the shine!

* **Vinegar** cuts through grease, grime, and dull buildup without damaging most floor finishes.
* **Baking soda** helps lift dirt and neutralize odors.
* **Dish soap** breaks down stubborn spots gently and effectively.
* **Essential oils** not only leave a fresh scent but also add natural antibacterial properties (especially with tea tree oil).

## 💡 Pro Tips for Even Better Results

* **Sweep or vacuum first** to remove debris and dust.
* Use **microfiber mop heads** for a streak-free finish.
* For tile and grout, use a slightly more concentrated version of the solution directly on problem areas.
* **Avoid using vinegar on unsealed stone** floors like marble or granite—it can etch the surface.
