I commend you for this!! Thank youuuuu
Thank you for this! This past summer we replaced all of our flooring with LV to make our home safer for my shuffling mom. Yay for no thresholds! It cleans really easy, but I’ve never been sure what’s safe to use on it - so thank you!
Omg I needed a video like this! Thanks for uploading!!
Simple and straight forward vlog. 👍
Just clean my hard water windows outside and inside with this mop. I used hand sanitizer that I applied it to a microfiber towel. Now I can't stop staring at beautiful clean windows.
Hi, I have hardwood floors. I always vacuum it. How many times a month do you mop your hardwood floors? Thank you
Hi I have varnished parquet, do I use the same as for hardwood? Won’t he varnish be damaged with the vinegar? Thanks
Love the mop I am 5ft. my ceilings are not that high so did not have to extend but started my late Fall cleaning and loved how I am able to clean them.
Would this work on a porcylin floor tile as well? It looks like wood(the long tiles)
I bought the mop!! LOVE IT! makes mopping so quick and it works very well! thank you!

Like what sticks out to you most?
Question, when cleaning a wood floor, you go with the grain, correct? My floor they put the grain of the wood crosswise. Meaning when I’m entering the kitchen they have the floor grain running horizontally instead of vertically, and with about 4 feet from stove/counter across from other counter. How do you go with the grain to clean? Clean, actually on knees and go down on all fours and clean by hand, or can it just cleaned in this area against the grain on the hardwood floor section? I usually go on all 4’s and clean along the grain, but getting kinda hard to always go on all 4’s to clean by hand on floor to go with grain.
Thanks for the written “recipe” , in your description.
Can I wash the maker mop cloths and makers clean microfiber cloths together?
just installed luxury vinyl plank flooring and contractor said to use mop n glow to mop it. I did a light coat and to looks spotty and streaky in spots so how can I remove it. Also whats the best way to keep it clean and shinny
What about Engineered Flooring? The only thing I’ve found that is okay to use is an enzymatic cleaner.
I can’t tell how much surface area her mop has contact with the floor? Doesn’t appear to be much. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I would also like to know what can be used on marble floors. Definitely can’t use vinegar!
Where do you get your spray bottles? I heard using a glass bottle is better when using essential oils because it lasts longer.
Can you use vanilla or orange or lemon extract instead of essential oils?
On my wood floors I use baby shampoo & baby oil just a few drops go along way.... and I use Suave coconut shampoo on the rest of my floors
That spray bottle doesn't look like it would hold two cups of water, let alone adding the additional ingredients.
How many mop pads do you use for your entire house?
New laminate floors shortly before the new mop arrived. The trio has now been completed. Thanks!👍👋👋
So no dish soap for the laminate?
No dish soap in Luxury Vinyl recipe?
Would you consider ever reviewing koh cleaning products? I value your opinion and would be really curious about what you thought!
😊
My luxury vinyl floor manufacturer says I need to use a pH neutral cleaner... I'm assuming with the vinegar and alcohol it is not? Or does the water neutralize it?
I use dawn and alcohol and water. Wow
Doesn’t alcohol and vinegar leave white streaks on laminate?

No I have laminate and this concoction worked great for my floors!
Vinegar?
Has anyone used this on their laminate flooring? We are getting laminate floors put in our bedroom next week, and I want to try this but I don't want to ruin them!
In another video you said "for engineered hardwood don't use alcohol as hardwood doesn't like alcohol, in this video you put alcohol in the DYI solution for hardwood. Is alcohol in or out for engineered hardwood.
Some idea for cleaners of marble floors ?
Please print the recipes
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ Will the alcohol and vinegar for laminate floors be safe for cats?

Go over it a few times with a warm damp mop. Rinse the mop out in between each pass. There’s too much soap in that recipe. You only need two tiny drops of dish soap for that much water. I would stick to just water and soap for that recipe.

For wood floors, use a TINY BIT of an oil soap, like Dr. Bronners, or Murphys in warm water. I do mean TINY! Tiny means a few drops to 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 or 1 teaspoon, depending on the amount of water in your bucket. And DRY IMMEDIATELY AFTER WITH A SOFT TOWEL OR RAG... DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR VINEGAR ON WOOD FLOORS, or wood surfaces. Rarely, if absolutely necessary, you can use a vinegar combo, but we're talking a stain, or wax buildup; and maybe only one or two times in the life of the wood floor.

@@ritasmith9553 I was going to suggest Murphys Oil 🧼 soap...love that stuff. BASICALLY, I use Castille soap.
I don’t get the Makers mop. How is it useful to clean a floor with such a small surface? Yes there are 2 sides but like I said, I don’t get it🤷♀️

Don’t waste your money. I bought one, I was not happy with the mop. I asked for a refund but never got a reply.
Using vinegar and water as a homemade wood floor cleaning solution can have a negative effect on your wood floor. It's important to remember that when you clean your wood floors, you aren't actually cleaning the wood you're cleaning the chemical finish that's on the wood. The finish is the protective layer of your wood floors. Since vinegar is an acid, it will actually break down the finish on the surface of your floor, and over time it will reduce the shine, and leave a dull appearance. Using vinegar and water to clean floors can also lead to an excessive amount of water on the floor, which can cause swelling and discoloration.
You should NOT be using vinegar on sealed hardwood floors nor unsealed grout. Vinegar dissovles both.
I bought that mop and it was very disappointing. I think it was over $50 the mechanism doesn’t work to hold it into position or to alternate to have a pivot. The so called holders didn’t work very well to hold a cloth for dusting high places or removing cob webs. The Velcro is weak for holding the mop pad in place. I wrote to them, I wanted a refund, I never got a reply. She might have some good cleaning tips but I won’t buy anything from her again!
in a dif video you say not to use anything but the store bought cleaner for laminate🤔🤔
I thought VINEGAR was bad for hardwood floors?
So I just want to make sure I get it right because the order Melissa said they were shown in and the titles cards don’t match. Is that first one with the rubbing alcohol for wood floors or is that the general purpose one?

You should NOT use alcohol on hardwood floors or wood furniture, any kind of wood surface, so I think the last recipe is for hardwood.

Alcohol and vinegar on hardwood sounds like bad idea.
So.....all the same
tbh i'm confused at your directions
