FAQ:
Q: Can I use this on marble or natural stone?
A: No. The acidity of vinegar and baking soda can etch natural stone. Use a pH-neutral cleaner instead.
Q: Is this safe for pets?
A: Yes, once the floor is dry. Make sure your pets aren’t walking on or licking the wet surface.
Q: How often should I use this cleaner?
A: Weekly for regular maintenance or as needed for deep cleaning.
