Rather than using traditional cleaning products, she raided her food cupboards instead. 

The woman shared a snap of her sparkling floor to Facebook group Cleaning Tips & Tricks, revealing her home-made solution.

“Scrubbed on my hands and knees then dried with a microfiber towel in a circular motion.”

She mixed up hot water, lemon juice and olive oil – and her handy tip has racked up hundreds of likes. 

Commenting online, one person said: “Need to do this, my floor looks so dull.”

Another wrote: “Nice job, it’s beautiful, thanks for the tip!”

A third thought: “It’s spotless.”

While this person said: “They look great! But that is a level of dedication that I just don’t have right now.”

And someone else added: “You deserve a medal.”
