Homemade Floor Cleaner

I am a sucker for all things homemade lately... meaning cleaning supplies.  I make my own laundry detergent, tried to do dishwasher detergent {not a fan of that one} and now I have found the BEST floor cleaner!  I have to share...

p.s.  I do this to save money but also because I'm not in love with the chemical smells that products are starting to put off.  I have never really noticed it and, honestly, didn't really care until I made laundry detergent.  I don't think I can use the Tide that I used to love so much again.  And did I mention the money??  I spent around $27 to make a batch {with scent included... although I've changed my mind on how I did that.  We'll talk later :)} and so far it has lasted me 11 months.  I still have enough to go for at least 2 more!  That is some serious moolah for ice cream... just saying.

Anyway... the floor cleaner.

1 gallon of water
1/2 cup of vinegar
1/3 cup of rubbing alcohol
some drops of dish soap

Ta-da!  I stirred it all in a bucket and went to town mopping my kitchen floor.  My tile has not looked this good since it was installed.  I'm not just blowing wind up your skirt either... I love it!  It did smell a bit strong with the alcohol but I've read that essential oils can take care of that problem if it really bothers you.  However, I noticed as soon as the floor started to dry then I didn't smell anything at all.  Super easy.  Super cheap.  And super clean!
