How to Use Vinegar for Cleaning Porcelain or Tile Floors
- 1). Sweep your floor well with a bristle broom followed by a dust mop. (The latter is to pick up the smaller particles left behind by the bristle broom.).
- 2). Pour 2 gallons of warm water into a clean mop bucket. Add ¼ cup of white vinegar, as suggested by Builddirect.com.
- 3). Wet your mop in the solution. The mop should be clean and free of debris that can scratch tile flooring.
- 4). Start mopping in the corner of the room the greatest distance away from the doorway. Scrub just a few feet of floor at a time before stopping to rinse your mop in the mop bucket--this makes mopping more effective, so you aren't just transporting dirt from one area to another.
- 5). Dry the floor with clean towels to make the floor more shiny. To do this, either step on the towels, using your feet to move the towels along the floor or swish the towels around the floor using a broom.
