Compare natural floor cleaner options
The main differences between floor cleaners come down to the surfaces they're designed for, how they're prepared and how you prefer to clean. Use this quick comparison to narrow down which option may work best in your home.
| What you're looking for | What to consider | May suit you if... |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaner for tiled floors | Suitable tile types, dilution and whether rinsing is needed | You want an everyday cleaner for tiled and other compatible hard floors |
| Cleaner for timber floors | Suitability for sealed timber and any specific care directions | You have wooden floors and prefer a cleaner specifically designed with timber in mind |
| Concentrated liquid | Dilution ratio, bottle size and how much you use per bucket | You regularly mop larger areas and don't mind measuring your cleaner |
| Ultra-concentrated cleaning pods | How they're mixed, bottle size and how many cleaning solutions you can make | You like the idea of storing a compact concentrate and reusing your own cleaning bottle |
| Fragrance options | Scent choices and fragrance-free options where available | The fragrance left behind after mopping matters to you |
| Lower-waste options | Concentrated formats, packaging and reusable bottle options | You'd like to reduce the number of full-sized cleaning bottles you bring into the home |
If you have several types of flooring at home, you may find one cleaner covers most of your hard floors, while timber or another surface with particular care requirements needs its own product. Check the individual cleaner for the surfaces it's designed for before you start mopping.
For most households, the easiest way to narrow the range is to start with your floor type, then decide whether you prefer a traditional liquid concentrate or a compact pod format. From there, fragrance, packaging and other preferences can help you make the final choice.
Natural floor cleaner FAQs
Can I use the same natural floor cleaner on tiles and timber?
Some floor cleaners can be used across several hard floor types, while timber often needs a little more care. If you have a mixture of tiles and sealed timber at home, look for a cleaner that's suitable for both. Otherwise, a dedicated timber floor cleaner may be the better choice for your wooden floors.
Do I need a special cleaner for timber floors?
It depends on your flooring and its finish. Timber doesn't generally enjoy being saturated with water, and some wooden floors have particular cleaning requirements. A dedicated timber floor cleaner takes some of the guesswork out of choosing. If you're unsure how your floor has been sealed or what can be used on it, check its care instructions before introducing a new cleaner.
How much concentrated floor cleaner should I use?
Follow the dilution ratio for the particular cleaner you're using. Concentrates are designed to be mixed with water, so you generally only need a relatively small amount for each bucket or bottle. Adding extra won't necessarily give you a cleaner floor and can leave you with more product to rinse or remove.
Are floor cleaning pods easy to use?
Yes. Ultra-concentrated cleaning pods are designed to make preparing your floor cleaner simple without storing a large bottle of liquid concentrate. Depending on the product, you'll generally add the pod to the recommended amount of water and allow it to dissolve before use. They're also compact to store and can be a handy option if you like reusing your own cleaning bottle.
Should I choose a scented or fragrance-free floor cleaner?
That's largely personal preference. If you enjoy having a fresh fragrance through the house after mopping, choose from the scented options in the range. If you're sensitive to fragrance or simply prefer cleaning products without added scent, look for a product specifically described as unscented or fragrance-free.
Practical advice for cleaning hard floors
A good mopping routine starts before the mop hits the floor. Sweep or vacuum first to pick up loose dirt, dust, hair and grit, then prepare your floor cleaner at the recommended dilution. You'll get a better result without simply moving debris around the room in dirty water.
More floor cleaner isn't always better
With concentrated floor cleaners, stick to the recommended amount rather than adding an extra splash for good measure. Too much product can leave residue behind and may make floors harder to rinse clean. If you're using cleaning pods, mix them with the recommended amount of water and give them time to dissolve properly before you start.
Go easy on the water with timber floors
Timber and other moisture-sensitive floors generally prefer a well-wrung mop rather than a soaking. Work in manageable sections and avoid leaving puddles or excess water sitting on the surface. If you have beautiful timber floors and you're not sure what finish is on them, it's worth checking their care requirements before introducing a new cleaning product.
Change the water when it looks dirty
There's a point where a bucket of mop water stops helping and starts putting the dirt straight back onto the floor. If the water is looking decidedly murky, change it. For larger homes or particularly grubby floors, starting with fresh water partway through can make a noticeable difference to the finished result.
Give freshly mopped floors time to dry
Let the floor dry before everyone starts walking across it again — particularly pets and children who seem to regard a freshly mopped floor as an invitation. Good airflow can help, and waiting until the surface is dry also gives you a better chance to spot any areas you've missed or any streaks that need another pass.
Keep your mop clean too
A clean floor needs a clean mop. Rinse reusable mop heads thoroughly after use and allow them to dry properly before putting them away. Wash removable mop pads according to their care instructions and replace worn heads when they're no longer doing a good job of picking up dirt.
