Floors take a beating every day—whether it’s from dirt, spills, pet messes, or just everyday foot traffic. Regular mopping might not always be enough, especially when dealing with stubborn grime and deep-set stains. If your floors need a serious refresh, a heavy-duty floor cleaner can restore their shine and cleanliness.
This guide will show you how to make and use a powerful DIY floor cleaner, using ingredients that cut through dirt, disinfect surfaces, and leave your floors sparkling clean!
Why Use a Heavy-Duty Floor Cleaner?
Unlike mild cleaning solutions, a heavy-duty floor cleaner is designed to:
✔ Break down grease and grime
✔ Remove tough stains and sticky residue
✔ Kill bacteria and germs
✔ Eliminate odors
✔ Restore shine to dull floors
Whether you have tile, vinyl, hardwood, or laminate, this method can be adapted to suit your flooring type.
