Works Best On:
- Tile
- Vinyl
- Laminate
- Hardwood (sealed only — avoid excess water!)
Note: Always test a small area first, especially on delicate or porous surfaces.
Bonus Perks:
- Leaves your floors smelling fresh and clean
- Helps reduce static electricity (especially useful in winter)
- Slows down the return of dust and pet hair
- Saves you time by stretching the period between deep cleans
A Few Pro Tips:
- Don’t overdo it. A little goes a long way—too much fabric softener can make floors slippery.
- Skip it on unfinished or unsealed wood. Water and wood are not best friends.
- Want to go natural? Try a similar trick with a few drops of essential oil and a splash of white vinegar for a more eco-friendly option.
Final Thoughts

Even if life gets busy and the mop stays in the closet for a week, your floors will still look like you just cleaned them. Magic? Not quite. But pretty close.
