The Clean Way to Spring Clean:
Easy Lemon Multipurpose Cleaner
Ingredients:
Juice of one lemon (you can also add juice of a lime too)
1 cup water
1 cup distilled white vinegar
Directions:
Juice the lemon. Use a strainer to keep pulp out. Add juice, vinegar, and water to a spray bottle. (Learn how to make your own spray bottle here!) Shake well. Spray onto cleaning areas. Let sit for a few minutes before wiping away with a damp cloth. If cleaning windows there is no need to rinse. Just wipe away with a dry cloth.
The acidity in the lemons and vinegar helps loosen mineral deposits such as lime and calcium. This cleaner also disinfects due to the low pH in the lemons and vinegar, which kills bacteria and microorganisms. Use the cleaner on soap scum and tough coffee stains. This spray is great for kitchen and bathroom sinks!
*For added cleaning power, add some baking soda to mixture and scrub the area. However, do not use this cleaner on marble surfaces.

2 gallons warm water

Add vinegar and soap to bucket, then add water. Mix well. Use reusable mop to wash floors with one coat of cleaner. Let air-dry.
I suggest testing the cleaner on one small area of your floor before mopping the entire space.
