I honestly just use vinegar and water to clean mine.

@maniemanifest I have done this too - I just want something that kills germs - given we have a dog we take on walks

@loathing It kills tons of germs, vinegar is one of the best cleaning agents around. Another more natural option is Thieves cleaner from Young Living, which I LOVE. And if you do a little research on the chemicals that kids absorb into their hands/feet (and anything they eat directly off a "clean" floor) you might never use another toxic cleaner again!

@tom4548 I just want something that kills this virus - vinegar does not and I don’t believe thieves does either

I made the investment for the norwex mop. Honestly my now 19 month and 5yo eat stuff off the floor and are all over. I vacuum it daily if not twice daily in the kitchen. And mop when I can.

I do Rubbing alcohol, blue dawn, and water in a spray bottle and then put an old rag over my swiffer mop and dry it up. Your floors will be shiny too!
