When washing floors, many housewives are forced to use household chemicals.

However, there is a natural remedy that in many cases copes with dirt much better.

In addition, such liquid improves the appearance of the floor covering.

And this saving remedy is the most ordinary black tea.

Why wash floors with tea?

It turns out that sometimes black tea “works” no worse than conventional cleaning products: it cleans the floor quite quickly.

You need to do the following: first, you need to take some deep container that can withstand high temperatures, put 5-6 tea bags in there and pour boiling water over them.

The tea will be quite strong. You need to wait until it cools down.

As soon as the drink reaches a moderate temperature, you need to soak the cloth.

After this, all that remains is to wipe the floor, periodically dipping a piece of cloth into the container with tea.

As a result, the floor covering will be cleaned and will acquire a brighter color. In addition, many damages (including scratches) will be masked.

Can the drink be used in all cases?

"Tea" cleaning is only suitable for two types of flooring: wood and varnished parquet.

You shouldn't wash linoleum or laminate with tea. In these cases, you'll have to use plain water. Sometimes you can't do without additives (soap, special cleaning agents).
