Washing the floor with linseed oil
Cleaning the floor is not only an unpleasant household duty, it can also become quite expensive. The cleaning products you get in the supermarket may not be the cheapest. And above all, they are full of chemistry.
If you want to use a cheap and mainly natural remedy, you can use linseed oil. You may know it mainly from the kitchen, when you are preparing some cold dishes. But the truth is that flaxseed oil has more uses than just the kitchen. It will also help you with cleaning.
It is no coincidence that linseed oil has been used for wood impregnation for several decades. But whether you have a wooden floor, or a vinyl or laminate floor, linseed oil can easily handle everything, without added chemicals.
Washing the floor with this product is actually exactly the same as when you use a regular chemical agent. Just add 6 drops of linseed oil to a bucket of warm water. Dip a mop or soft cloth in the bucket, wring it out and you can get to work. Finally, wipe the floor with a dry microfiber cloth.
Why is linseed oil better for the floor?
If you have a wooden floor, linseed oil is able to penetrate the structure of the wood and nourish it from the inside. As a result, the floor will have a beautiful shine. Overall, the oil creates a thin film on the floor that protects the floor from dust build-up, which means you won’t have to clean the floor as often as it won’t get as much dust and dirt.
This film also protects the floor from possible scratches and moisture. Therefore, whether you organize a weekly cleaning or someone stepped on your floor with muddy shoes, linseed oil will be the ideal natural helper.
