I have blogged about this topic before and gotten some fairly “odd” responses. I use Listerine to mop (when I’m out of Borax) – have you?
By now you should have quite a bit of Listerine in your house from shopping at Walgreens last week. If you do, you don’t have to use it to clean your mouth – you can also use it on your floor.
Use Listerine + Vinegar as solution to mop – Vinegar is a natural cleaner, and the Listerine (which has thymol = serves as a fungicidal agent and works great on bacteria)……
I recommend also putting half and half in the spray bottle for shower walls as well.
Have you ever thought of using Listerine to mop?

I have never heard of this before! That is awesome. What kind of flooring do you use it on? Tile? Hard wood?

Tile or Laminate!
Kim says
Great! Thank you SO much. Just yesterday, I was trying to find a better (and cheaper) way to clean my laminate flooring! I hate buying these expensive products that don’t really work! So THANK YOU!

I haven’t tried any – but.. I have used only Listerine. I know that Listerine has Thymol, which have Anti-microbial attributes (hence why it works well). I’m not sure if Crest has that, I have never tried – or, any store brand. I would think so. I’ll have to look when I go to the store next time. We had so much Listerine last year from a sale at Walgreens, and I wanted to find a way to use it all up (I had Crest ProHealth too and hubby likes that better) so I was looking online and found this tip- have been doing it ever since. Dave just thinks I’ve really gone crazy.

Not so weird – Listerine was originally marketed as a floor cleaner. See Wikipedia for more info.

Yes. I use it all the time because it’s better than Lysol and healthier than using bleach. Works fabulous.
