“These tricks are everything,” said another.
‘I definitely need to organize my wardrobe and do some cleaning. Thanks for the motivation,” added a third.

Chantel is known online for her handy organization tips and cleaning hacks.
She previously wowed her followers with her chemical-free cleaning hack that will leave floors sparkling clean and dirt-free.
Mom uses a mixture of boiling water, dishwashing detergent, and white vinegar in the mop bucket.
Also add a few drops of essential oil to make the whole house smell amazing and isopropyl alcohol, which makes the cleaner dry super fast and removes dirt.
Chantel said the solution is great for tile and laminate, but she recommended a patch test to see if the mix is suitable for other types of flooring.
She mixed three cups of hot water, 1/4 cup of white vinegar, and a teaspoon of dish soap.
Chantel added two more optional ingredients, 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol and essential oil.
He said isopropyl alcohol helps “floors dry faster and is streak-free, but it’s not suitable for all floor types.” It is ideal for tile and hybrid laminate floors’.
Chantel uses a mixture of hot water, dish soap, vinegar, isopropyl alcohol, and essential oil on her floors. She cautioned that people should do a patch test before using the homemade solution.
The mom said it also removes hidden dirt while the essential oil makes the whole house smell good.
“Please be discreet if you have pets or small children,” he added.
‘Note: Every floor is different so be sure to check if this is right for your floor. Always patch test.
Chantel’s video has been viewed more than 1.9 million times on Instagram and TikTok and generated hundreds of appreciative comments.
‘Testing this!’ one woman responded and another said, ‘I just used this little trick, thanks.’
“Dishwashing liquid and vinegar are a good combination with hot water,” a third agreed.
‘Also mop with the grain, not across,’ someone added.
“Using natural products is always 100 times better than using chemicals, well done,” said another.
Others cautioned against using hot water and vinegar on hardwood and natural wood floors.
Hot water is not good for wooden floors. It expands and contracts, making it more easily deformed,” wrote one viewer.
“If those floors are natural wood, you definitely shouldn’t be using vinegar or anything acidic to clean them,” a second agreed.
Natural wood floors should be cleaned with a pH neutral floor cleaner. Otherwise the soils become dry and porous.’
