This lockdown has propelled us into embracing tasks that might not typically be our first choice. Take, for example, floor cleaning.

But hope emerges in the form of this floor cleaner!
The recipe, sourced from Food.com, is crafted for industrial-level cleaning, akin to the demands of a commercial kitchen, where it’s tasked with cutting through grease. It worked wonders on my kitchen floor, but the description caught my eye for an unexpected reason – it « smells amazing. »
