    First you would use the spray bottle and make a mixture of equal parts of vinegar and water. Then collect up rags that can be used. If you have a swifer you can use old damaged shirts to cut up and fit the swifer. In a small bucket add a teaspoon of natural oil to a gallon of water.

    Always start from top and work your way down in a room. you can use the swifer to get spiderwebs in corners and clean vents that are high. On air-conditioner vents in the house you can use the natural oil water so when the air comes on you have your own special air freshener.

  4. Step 4

    counting what kind of floor you have wither its wood floors, tile, or carpet will determine how you clean the floor. If you have pets you can use the vinegar water on soiled areas on a carpet.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you have pets having a spray bottle of the vinegar and water on hand so that when the animal soils a carpet area you can spray it let it set for just a min or two. Then take a rag and apply pressure to the spot. This helps to prevent the animal from using that same spot again. On wood or tile just clean it up with vinegar water.
  • Be careful not to mix up the rags.
  • cleaning a mirror with a oil rag is not fun.
