[quote=UCGal]I used to use Murphy’s oil soap when I had wood floors. Now I have ceramic tile – so pinesol works better.
At least in my perception.
I usually just dust with microfiber rags – no pledge or furniture polish.[/quote]
Have you tried vinegar and *hot* water for tile? I’ve found that to work best of all. I use a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio of vinegar to water. For tough jobs (like after a gross, messy party), a bit more vinegar, up to 1:1, and do a rinse mop afterward.
BTW, I’ve also incorporated the tea tree oil since you had mentioned it before — both in my vinegar/water spray bottle and my mop water. It works well and definitely makes it smell less like a salad bar. Thanks for the tip.
