Why add ground cinnamon to water for mopping the floor: a trick from experienced housewives
Home floor cleaning tips have received an unexpected but effective addition: ground cinnamon, Ukr.Media reports.
Experienced housewives have long used dishwashing gel to enhance floor cleaning products, but adding cinnamon takes cleaning to a new level of cleanliness and aroma.
Adding ground cinnamon to your floor cleaning water has several beneficial properties that can make the process more effective and enjoyable. Here are the main reasons:
Natural flavoring
Cinnamon has a pleasant, warm and calming aroma. Adding it to your floor cleaning water creates a pleasant atmosphere in your home that lasts long after cleaning.
Natural antiseptic
Cinnamon contains natural antimicrobial compounds (such as cinnamic aldehyde) that help fight bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms on the surface of the floor.
Insect repellent
The smell of cinnamon is known for its ability to repel insects such as ants, cockroaches, and even moths. This can be helpful if you have a problem with unwanted “guests” in your home.
Positive impact on emotional state
The smell of cinnamon is associated with peace and comfort, helps reduce stress and creates a comfortable atmosphere at home.
Here's how to prepare the miracle solution:
- Fill the bucket with water.
- Add 1 tablespoon of dishwashing gel.
- Add 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
- Mix thoroughly.
- If desired, strain the solution through a cloth to remove small pieces of cinnamon.

Reservation:
- Test the solution on a small area of the floor to make sure it doesn't leave stains (especially for light or wood floors).
