Yes, but avoid using it daily or weekly. Vinegar is best for occasional cleanings.

I used methylated spirit and water. It made the wooden floor streaky. Any advice?

Then you know it's not right for your floor, so don't use that mixture again. Housekeeping is about experimenting to see what works and what doesn't (within reason, of course). Chalk this one down to something that just doesn't work for you. That's okay!

Yes. Try using 1/2 cup vinegar to every gallon of warm water. Do not soak the floors, and be sure to dry them thoroughly.

How to remove mould stains off delicate fabric?

Community Answer

Apply a mold stain remover, such as household soap, white vinegar, or bleach, and use a toothbrush to brush off the surface mold. Be gentle and try not to damage the fabric in the process.
