Skip the harsh chemicals and clean your vinyl bathroom floor with vinegar.
Your vinyl bathroom floor becomes soiled quickly, as bacteria, soap scum, lotions and other elements splash and dry onto the floor surface. To remove all of these elements from the floor, use a cleaning solution that gets rid of the buildup and also kills bacteria. Make your own inexpensive cleaner from common household ingredients.
Instructions
1. Sweep the vinyl regularly with a broom or vacuum cleaner to collect light buildup.
2. Run your mop under warm tap water, squeeze excess water out of the mop and swipe across your vinyl bathroom floor to remove sticky buildup. Do this on a weekly basis to maintain the vinyl floor surface.
3. Pour 1 cup white vinegar and 1 gallon warm water into a cleaning bucket for a disinfectant cleaner.
4. Swish a clean mop in the bucket of water, and squeeze the mop to release excess water.
5. Wipe the mop bathroom floor, starting at one wall and working your way backwards until you exit the bathroom. This allows you to clean effectively without tracking back over the wet floor.
6. Soak a rag with isopropyl alcohol and rub over any stains or spots. The vinegar solution is often strong enough to remove any buildup, but the alcohol is a stronger agent that breaks apart any remaining stains, including scuff marks from shoes. Wipe the floor with a damp mop after using the alcohol.
7. Let the floor air dry before walking across the vinyl floor to prevent footprints on your clean floor.
