Making your own homemade floor cleaner is simple and cost-effective. You will never go back to commercial products when you’ve made these easy DIY cleaners!

15 DIY Floor Cleaners and DIY Carpet Cleaners

Homemade floor cleaners are often made with ingredients that are easy to find right in the supermarket. Check each cleaner recipe for specifics, but you can often make an assortment of cleaning products with these ingredients. Do note that we always recommend that you test any new cleaning product (commercial or homemade) in an inconspicuous area before using it on your entire floor.

  • Vinegar – Vinegar is a great natural cleaner. It can be harsh and acidic on some surfaces, so use it with caution, and definitely don’t use it on hardwood floors (over time it could eat away at the finish). Cleaning vinegar is formulated to have a less pungent odor.
  • Essential Oils – Essential oils can give your cleaner a pleasing scent. Some have anti-microbial properties and can help to repel insects.
  • Baking Soda – Baking soda absorbs and neutralizes odors. It also helps grease and dirt to dissolve in water, so it is an effective cleaner. Baking soda can be mildly abrasive. Be careful in your application of it.
  • Castile soap – Castile soap is eco-friendly and gentle on skin, so it makes a great cleaning solution.
