Notes
Important Notes
- Not for Wood or Laminate: Avoid using this formula on wood or laminate floors. Vinegar and citric acid can dull and soften these surfaces over time, so stick to tile and vinyl for this recipe.
- For Citrus Lovers: If using lemon juice, avoid varieties with high sugar content (like Meyer lemons), as they can leave a sticky residue. Citric acid powder is a great alternative if you want to skip the juice.
How to Open the Swiffer WetJet Bottle
- Heat a pot of water on the stove until boiling, then turn off the burner.
- Hold the Swiffer WetJet bottle upside down, submerging the cap and a bit of the bottle in the hot water for up to 90 seconds.
- With a hot pad or cloth, twist the cap, which should release easily.
