Wood, Laminate and Linoleum Floors
-
Mix equal parts white vinegar and hot water in a bucket or sink.
-
Dip your mop into the mixture and use it to mop your floor.
-
Allow the floor to air dry. You may smell a strong scent of vinegar at first, but this fades as the floor dries. The vinegar also cleans the floor and neutralizes the offensive smell.
Natural Stone Floors
-
Sprinkle a light dusting of baking soda onto the affected areas of the floor. Allow the baking soda to sit for about 10 minutes to kill odors.
-
Dip your mop into hot soapy water and use it to clean the soiled areas.
-
Dip your mop in hot water (no soap) and go over the area once more to remove any soap or baking soda residue.
-
Dry the floor with a towel or allow it to air dry.
