I usually use water + lemon juice + vinegar but I have no idea why or any idea if that actually does anything.

    White Vinegar + Water is actually a solid floor cleaner. I’ve never heard of adding lemon juice to it though. One cup of white veingar to one gallon of water is what works for me and what I usually see. There is cleaning vinegar as well that’s more concentrated and can be watered down even more to achieve the same results.

    I’m pretty much stuck with vinegar at this point. I’ve got a cat and this is guaranteed cat safe. She’s also adjusted to the smell because her previous owner used to use vinegar to clean floors as well.

      Came to say the same, vinegar+water works on A LOT of stuff. I’d also say Isopropyl Aclohol 90% or higher + distilled water is a great cleaner for nearly any thing as well.

      Maybe I did it wrong, but the last time I tried this combo, the house still smelled of vinegar the next day.

        I think you probably didn’t dilute it enough. The vinegar smell evaporates pretty quickly here and its not a nose blindness thing because first time my old roommate did it I was shocked how fast it disappeared.
