### Instructions
#### 1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution
In a bucket, mix 1 cup of white vinegar with 1 gallon of warm water. If you prefer a fresh scent, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, such as lavender, lemon, or tea tree.
#### 3. Sweep and Scrub
Using the damp broom, sweep and scrub your floor simultaneously. Focus on areas with stains or grime buildup, applying gentle pressure. The vinegar solution helps loosen dirt while the broom provides the scrubbing action.
#### 4. Rinse (Optional)
For heavily soiled floors, you can follow up with a rinse using clean water and a mop. However, white vinegar typically evaporates quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky residue.
