I have a question regarding how to clean your floor when you have a cat. My apartment consists of an extensive tile floor and a smaller portion with some wood. I generally mop my floor with bleach. Knowing, that bleach isn't exactly the friendliest of all chemicals, I lock up the cat up in a room while I mop the floor. I let the floor dry up completely and the run over it with a dry rag, just to make sure that there is no residue left which could harm the cat.
I was wondering, how do you clean your floor and what cleaning detergent do you use in order to maintain the safety of your pet?
As far as possible I use products from Held (available in most Drogerien). Tile floors get wet-cleaned at least once a week (kitchen, bathroom, loos) or, in the kitchen, as need be after an intense bout of cooking . Wood floors get special treatment every 2 - 3 weeks with dedicated parkett flooring product.
i make a mixture using white vinegar, warm water and i put some drops of lavendar oil into it to cut the vinegar smell. you could add what ever kind of oil you want, though
Vinegar is a great natural cleaner, diluted in water it doesn't really smell and any smell it does have goes after a few minutes. Migros also sell a range of eco cleaners derived from plants, I think they're called Migros Plus oeco power and have a butterfly on the packaging. They do a floor cleaner and it smells of lemons. One cap full in a bucket of water is all you need.
