This Christmas Tree Floor Cleaner is a great way to continue the holiday magic all year. Its special scent can help us remember our cherished decorations, joyful singing, laughter and the fresh pine scent of a Christmas tree. Unfortunately, all of the added excitement has to end at some point, and it can be hard when you start to undecorate. As we give the tree a new purpose, we can reflect on the happy moments and feel grateful for each memory.
How can you make a Christmas Tree Floor Cleaner?
There is a way to honour your beautiful Christmas tree as you begin to take each ornament from the branches. Trim parts of the vibrant green branches and place them inside a mason jar. Add some fresh or dried citrus slices. Once the jar is full, fill the jar with white vinegar to cover the citrus and pine, tightly closing the lid.
