A mum has shared her simple trick for keeping floors sparkling clean without leaving behind any streaks after using a $2.74 cleaning product.

The Australian woman said she used the $49 Vileda ‘spin mop’, half a cup of cleaning vinegar, which is sold at Bunnings, and boiling water.

‘Cleaning metho [methylated spirit] didn’t like us so it’s a Vileda spin mop, cleaning vinegar and boiling hot water for the win,’ she wrote in a Facebook group. 

‘They made such a huge difference. I’m enjoying the clean floor feels.’

She initially cleaned her floors with a scented methylated spirit cleaning solution but she was left with ‘streaks’ all over her tiles. 

Many were impressed with her results, with some saying they will give the tip a go, while others shared the products they used on their floors. 

‘Looks fabulous. I did my shiny tiles with my spin mop, vanilla scented metho and boiling water. They always come up a treat. Best method I’ve ever used,’ one said.

Another woman said she also used the same mop and cleaning vinegar to wipe her tiles – and she was quite pleased with the results.

‘It works. I still had to dry the floor with a towel under my feet just to shine it up a bit. But it sure has made it easier,’ she said.

Others said they get the same sparkling results by cleaning their tiles with boiling water and dishwashing liquid.
