"oh we just peroxided them. twice a year we spray peroxide on the floor, wait two minutes, then wipe it up with a clean cloth. there's no other way to clean floors as far as we're concerned."

why have you guys never told me this??

that's a new one to me -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Dec 7, 18:42
Are there any issues with breathing the vapor or fumes? -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 18:42 9
- you need to dilute it a fair bit. don't just dump straight H2O2 on your floors. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 18:45 8
  - (they use a spray bottle. not "dump.") -- nm - amanda Dec 7, 18:53
  - marnie said she just buys peroxide from walmart ("we buy three pints for the house") and does it in like 25 square foot sections. they don't dilute. - amanda Dec 7, 18:52 6
    - my grandmother used to dilute it in a bucket of water. I don't remember if her hardwood looked particularly nice. probs nicer than mine now tho. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 18:56 5
      - maybe modern peroxide is already diluted? -- nm - amanda Dec 7, 18:57 4
        
        There's 3% and 6% solutions commonly - Reagen Dec 7, 19:03
        
        I imagine you could buy it in like a 5% solution or something. feels like straight concentrated stuff could damage your wood. - mafic Dec 7, 18:59 2
        
        text: "I think it's like 3%? whatever is on the shelf at walmart." I googsed and it is 3%. -- (link) - amanda Dec 7, 19:02 1
        
        gram was totally a buy the concentrate person. "they're just charging you more for water. I have water already!" - mafic Dec 7, 19:04
my grandmother used to do that. I'd totally forgotten. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 18:41 5
- now this is bringing back other weird grandmother cleaning memories. vinegar and newspaper for streak-free window cleaning! -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 18:57 4
  - I still do this. -- nm - amanda Dec 7, 19:03
  - Vinegar is great for cleaning so many things. -- nm - Krusty Dec 7, 19:00 2
    - The day I learned the vinegar trick for cleaning the inside of the microwave was an amazing day -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 20:09 1
      - I just did this tonight! What an exciting life I have. -- nm - jnine Dec 7, 20:21
one of our cats would lick that shit like it was catnip...cause they are a fucking moron and love licking cleaning supplies -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Dec 7, 18:36 5
- I had one like that, she loved bleach so we had to stop buying any cleaning spray with added bleach. -- nm - Krusty Dec 7, 18:59 4
  - "It'll kill you!!" "Shut the fuck up!!!" -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Dec 7, 19:04 3
    - OMG so much chubbins in this post. see also "eating plastic." -- nm - amanda Dec 7, 19:06 2
      - My dog loves eating plastic bags. Garbage bags, shopping bags, he loves them all. It's had serious consequences more than once, but his love is - jnine Dec 7, 20:23
      - OMG a hair elastic! *nom nom nom* -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Dec 7, 19:07
