my mum and MIL both use enjo mops, which is a big outlay but you only use water after that and they do work.
we used to use a floor cleaner called cinderella, thats all natural and non toxic. I think it had a pineapple smell.

Can anyone enlighten me on the best ratio of water:vinegar to use?

I usually fill the laundry tub a quarter of the way with HOT water - I add 1 cup of vinegar, 2 heaped tablespoons of bicarb soda and a capful of essential oils (for fragrance).

My tiles come up beautifully!

I do what amysarah does, except I never thought of using essential oils for the smell. Good thinking.

Thanks, sounds good amysarah!

I use very hot water and eucalyptus oil with just a capful of bleach. Eucalyptus oil (or tea tree oil) is antiseptic and makes the house smell much nicer than bleach.
