In summer, open doors do not allow the house to always be scented because the air circulation also brings with it the good smell “preserved” in the house.
This especially happens with floors, which tend to lose their scent immediately after washing them.
But not with our tricks! Today, in fact, we will see how to have floors that smell fresh in summer with these tricks!
Bicarbonate and Marseille soap
The first remedy that we suggest you try is to combine bicarbonate of soda with Marseille soap , which boast very delicate cleaning properties that make them perfect for any type of material without the risk of damaging them. All you have to do, therefore, is add a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda into a bucket containing about 2 liters of water, then pour in a spoonful of liquid Marseille soap and mix everything.
Then, dip a rag in the mixture thus obtained , wring it well and pass it over the surface of your floor , rubbing vigorously to remove all the dirt. We also suggest that you pass it over the floor several times to fix the good scent!
Vinegar
In addition to bicarbonate and Marseille soap, vinegar is also very effective , as it is able to degrease, but also polish! In fact, we remind you that it is used to make the steel in the kitchen shine!
You will therefore have to pour a glass of vinegar into a bucket of water and add 10 drops of essential oil of the fragrance you prefer. We suggest fragrances such as citrus ones to bring a fresh scent into your home! Once you have obtained the mixture, dip a cloth in it, wring it out well and pass it over the floors: and now enjoy the scent!
NB Remember to never use vinegar on marble or natural stone floors because it could dull or corrode them.
Fragrant blend
If you want an even more fragrant mixture, we still suggest combining more ingredients together to obtain a sort of super-scented DIY floor detergent!
Simply add 2 cups of baking soda and a half cup of vinegar in a bucket containing about 1 liter of hot water, and then pour a few drops of lemon, orange, mandarin or mint essential oil .
Then, dip a rag in the solution thus obtained and pass it over the surface of your floor several times. Finally, let it dry and… what a scent!

NB Also in this case, remember not to use vinegar on marble or natural stone floors because it could corrode them.
Cloth trick
Especially in summer, it could be tiring to always wash the floors every time we want to spread a good scent in the house. For this reason, we suggest the cloth trick that can bring a good smell to the floors without too much effort!
Then pour 25 ml of liquid Marseille soap into a graduated jug containing 750 ml of water and then add 25 g of bicarbonate and 5 drops of essential oil of the fragrance you prefer most. Then, pour the mixture into a spray bottle, let it rest for at least a day to let the smell soak in and the next day try the cloth trick!
To try it, you will have to spray the mixture thus obtained directly onto a microfiber cloth wrapped around the mop and pass it over your floor several times. Not only will you smell a good scent spreading through the house, but since you haven’t wet the floor, you won’t even have to wait for it to dry!
NB We remind you to try this trick after having already removed the dust and dirt on the floor with the vacuum cleaner or a broom.
