We always put a lot of effort into looking after the house. It is a personal pleasure to see everything in order and clean. Even when we have guests, we want to make a good impression. Floors are definitely the business card of our home. But, in addition to general cleaning to remove dust and dirt, we must also take care of another aspect. That is the shine of our floors. Depending on the material they are made of, terracotta, marble, stone or other, the products to be used change. Today in particular we want to talk about the wooden ones. This material is very delicate to handle. In fact, we cannot use too aggressive products that are perhaps very effective on other surfaces. Today, however, we will discover that a kitchen ingredient is enough for a polished wooden floor like new.
Simplicity that works
—
Often, we think that the solution to common everyday problems is to be found in something complex. Instead, many times, it’s the small and simple things that can change our day. We have already covered something about it in the article ” We will no longer throw away the corks because this will save us money“. Many objects, materials, ingredients of common use hide potential that can be very useful. In our case we will fight the wear and tear of wooden floors and we just need to look in the pantry to find the solution. It will not be necessary to go and look for who knows what industrial products. Also, with this trick, we can save a few euros.
A kitchen ingredient is enough for a polished wooden floor like new
With time and wear, the wood loses its brilliance so it is more opaque and less beautiful to look at. To solve this problem, we need black tea. This natural ingredient has excellent beneficial properties that revive the wood. Now let’s see how to use it. We take a pot full of water and put it to heat on the fire. Then we put two or three bags of black tea. Then we bring to a boil and turn off the flame.
Let the water become lukewarm and pour it into the bucket we use to clean the floors. Then we dip the mop or a rag and wipe it on the floor. Remember to squeeze them well before passing them on the wooden surfaces. Water, in fact, if too much, ruins these floors. Instead, we must cover the surface with a homogeneous but very light patina. Then we wait for everything to dry well and we will see our floor as shiny as the first time we entered the house. The advice is to sweep well, or vacuum, before doing this with the tea.
