You can remove it from the recipe, but it will raise the pH. You could try my old recipe, which is not pH balanced: http://pinsandprocrastination.com/natural-wood-floor-cleaner-recipe

I have read that Borax has some carcinogens. Could I try Mrs. Meyers or some other substitute?

In reply to Barbara Karr. Maybe just for a few minutes but once it is dry they shouldn't be too slippery.

Does this recipe make the floor slippery like waxed floors? They look wonderful. I have MS and do not do well on slippery floors.I sure would love to treat my floors ad ave them look like this!!!

In reply to Shelly. I was focused on making sure this recipe was pH neutral, and I also wanted to be able to use it on my tile floors. If you're using it for wood floors only you can still include the olive oil.

I am wondering why you got rid of the olive oil from the original recipe? I’m looking for a cleaner that will condition the wood floor as well.

In reply to Erica. I would say it's about 1/2 tsp, but that's just an estimation.

Directions say “1 pump dish soap” – since my dish soap isn’t in a pump, how much dish soap would you estimate is needed? (E.g. 1 tablespoon, etc.).
