I've been wanting to try the vinegar and Dawn solution cleaning hack for a really long time. I have old vinyl sheet flooring that just doesn't seem to want to get REALLY clean so I thought I'd see if the vinegar and Dawn solution would work. My dirty kitchen floors have really got to get scrubbed and CLEANED!

I have been in the cleaning business for 30 plus years. A very common problem is using to much soap, that just attracts more dirt. Only use as much soap as needed to remove the dirt,and rinse well after.

I just use a steam mop, no cleaner unless there is a particular issue. The guy that professionally cleans tile said same thing as you - minimize use of cleaners and how much water you put on floor because it pushes dirt into grout. I also found a magic eraser works great at least on ceramic or porcelain tile

@@midlife_minimalist I’m in the middle of cleaning my grout and you’re right. From now on I’m going to vacuum first and get any mud etc up wi5h a sponge before mopping. I think the grout sealer also needs to be applied far more often than the bottle says. I bet it doesn’t last more than 9 months.

Wow. So glad I found this. My life needs a total makeover and cleaning and decluttering an old house from the 50s is a sore focal point. My 90ish parents' home has now become mine. One has passed, another in a nursing home. I'm tired, I now work full-time after years of being their caregiver and I have lupus. I have subscribed to your channel after seeing this because it will help me tremendously. Thank you for keeping it real too. So tired of ppl not understanding that life happens and we all have different cards we're dealt. I look forward to going on a journey with your videos to help get me through all the chaos! I love that you're an artist too...I have art stuff all over the place and would love to be organized so I can paint again 🤗🌈.

I moved into this apartment in 2016 and I tried everything, I mean every thing to clean the floor and the grout. Thank you so much for this cleaning floor advice. I used everything you mentioned except I didn't have the Dawn dish soap, so I used a little over a cup of apple cider vinegar and a few squirts of Ajax dish soap. I also accidentally boiled my water in the microwave. I then mixed all the ingredients and sprayed away! while waiting, I watched a show on t.v. and here, it was a half hour that the spray was on my floor! lol Anyway, when I went to clean it, I didn't even have to use a scrub brush! I just used an old tee shirt and it came off so easily. I was so amazed! wow! Thank you again for the suggestion about the vinegar, dish soap. I will use this now for everything!!!

A lot of people commented on the negative effects of vinegar but my feeling was, this cheap, sheet vinyl is so old (at least 25 yrs old) and crappy, I wasn’t worried about what a little bit of vinegar would do (it’s barely any). It was the only thing that got out that deep down, ground in dirt. I’ve since put down self-stick vinyl tiles & sweep mop at least weekly, so tough cleaners aren’t needed anymore. It really did work great to get the old stains out though! …If you’d like to see the tile install (did it myself), the link to video is below: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5ulh7hkptPSc5c.html

My mom uses vinegar/water mixture on the regular which was recommended by her floor installer. Heating is to help with mixing, dissolving the grime. Getting the dissolved grime up no matter the solution is key. A microfiber or something to soak it up does well, a mop that smears it around does not. LA's Totally Awesome all-purpose does a great job as does the concentrate for grime buildup. I often think Dawn comes up with these hacks which work some of the time but not any better than other products. Glad you found a solution.

@@sebring31482 Thank you, the floor of my new rented home is not just dirty at the glimpse but also sticky that the sleepers stuck in the tiles and you end up barefoot. That is why I have to use W-40 and a scraper before the towel scrub. I am going to try the vinegar, soap solution, I never seen something like this floor🥵

OMG, you are so cute!!! FYI, I live in an area with the HARDEST water. I learned the only way to get my dishes clean (sometimes I think the hard water rinsing of dishes after use actually makes it worse) I fill my sink with some vinegar and 4x Dawn. It will get the scum and grease off. P.S. I've also been known to run my bath water and add vinegar with some kind of bubble bath (to mask the smell), as this leaves no scum on me or my bathtub.

I use it to spray in my shower and as a spray cleaner for bathroom surfaces. I use it as a deodorizer after p**ping, just flush and spray a bit into the toilet bowl. No more fruity deodorant smells., it really gets rid of stinkiest. When I mop ,I use a cup of my solution in the bucket with hot water and it works really well.
