No need to rinse! The solution dries streak-free and leaves behind a subtle shine and clean scent.
What Types of Floors Is It Safe For?
This cleaning trick is safe for most sealed flooring types, including:
Ceramic tile- Porcelain
- Vinyl
- Linoleum
- Sealed hardwood
- Laminate
Important Note: Avoid using vinegar on unsealed wood, stone floors like marble or granite, or waxed surfaces, as it can break down finishes or cause etching.
Tips for Best Results
- Always sweep or vacuum first to remove dust and debris before mopping.
- Test a small, hidden area of your floor the first time you try this solution to ensure compatibility.
- Don’t overuse fabric softener — a little goes a long way.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks (shake before use).
Bonus Use: Baseboards and Walls
The same solution can be used to clean baseboards, walls, and even doors. Just dip a cloth in the mixture and wipe gently — it removes scuffs and leaves everything smelling fresh and clean.

The combination of fabric softener and vinegar might seem odd at first, but once you try it, you’ll be amazed at how well it works — cleaning grime, restoring shine, and leaving your floors smelling great. It’s quick, budget-friendly, and made with products you probably already have at home.
