Mopping the floor has become a routine activity for some people. However, there are times when the stock of soap or floor cleaning fluid at home runs out. Well, as a replacement, you can use a number of kitchen ingredients that can make the floor smell good like below.
1. White vinegar.
Mix equal parts warm water and white vinegar. Use this mixture to clean the floor. Vinegar has antimicrobial properties and can help remove bad odors.
2. Orange juice.
Use freshly squeezed orange juice to clean the floor. Oranges have a fresh scent that can freshen up the room.
3. Lemon water.
Mix water with lemon juice. Lemon has antibacterial properties and provides a fresh scent.
4. Baking soda.
Sprinkle baking soda on the floor before you mop it. Baking soda can absorb bad odors and give a fresh scent.
5. Mint leaves.

Be sure to test these materials on a small area of your floor first to ensure that they are safe and will not damage the surface of your floor. Also, be sure to avoid using materials that are not suitable for your particular type of floor.
