The Scent Can be Smelled From the Stairs. How to Clean and Perfume Them
It sometimes happens that you smell a good scent coming from some houses. No, we are not talking about a good smell of food, but rather a pleasant, clean aroma. Well, most likely it all depends on what you use to clean and perfume the floors.
How to get a good scent when washing floors?
In reality, achieving well-cleaned and fragrant floors doesn’t require buying expensive products from supermarkets. There are natural methods involving ingredients we all have at our home or can easily obtain without spending a fortune.
The recipes for achieving a pleasant scent after washing the floor may vary a little depending on the material used on the floors. Here are some examples:
- Marble floors: mix water, denatured alcohol, and liquid Marseille soap in a bucket. By washing the floor with this solution, you will automatically give the house a fresh, clean scent. If the floor has an unpleasant odor, add a few drops of lavender, coconut, or lemongrass essential oil to neutralize bad smells. Alternatively, you can use geranium or lemon essential oils. For a more degreasing option, add white wine vinegar to the water, Marseille soap, denatured alcohol, and essential oil to eliminate bad odors.
- Parquet floors: if you have a parquet instead, then you will have to use a different solution. Mix water, baking soda, and a couple of spoons of liquid Marseille soap in a bucket. Wash the floor with this solution and then thoroughly dry everything with a clean cloth.
