  1. Wet a clean cloth with hot water and wipe up the honey spill. You will need to use several cloths to remove as much of the honey as possible. Use the hottest water you can stand.

  2. Pour undiluted white vinegar onto a clean cloth and wipe the floor. The vinegar will remove any residual honey. Rinse with a cloth dampened in hot water.

  3. Clean the floor using a vinyl floor cleaner. Rinse well and allow the floor to air dry.

Tips

Clean up the honey spill immediately. As the honey sits, it will begin to harden, making it more difficult to remove.

If the honey already has hardened, try using a hair dryer on the honey to liquefy it before using hot water to clean it up.

Warnings

Do not use detergent or floor cleaners not designed for vinyl floors as these can leave a dull residue on the vinyl.
