I have a screened in porch on the 2nd level. Directing under my Trek flooring is a green ground cover which I go not want to kill. I need a home made non- toxic floor & screen sill cleaner.Many Many Thanks,Sue W

  • Here is what I would do. Toss a cheap dollar store plastic tarp over the ground cover. Then get a bucket of tap water and give it a few squirts of Dawn dish soap. Give it a good mop, dump the bucket, refill with clean water, mop to rinse. Let dry a bit, then remove tarp from plants below. Easy and quick!

    • So welcome Sue! I wouldn't worry about it too much, most ground cover plants recover pretty quickly unless you use harsh chemicals. Enjoy your space! 🌞

    Dish liquid and warm water should do the trick and should not hurt your green space.

      Many thanks. In past years (when we didn’t have ground cover planted, I’d use warm water & powder borax. Really brighten up the Trek & vinyl siding. But those days are gone. Thanks again,
