We are beginning the process of building a cob/straw bale house with earthen floors. What can you all recommend for mopping and spot cleaning surfaces? I use a mix of castille soap, vinegar, and water for all purpose cleaning in our current house. Would that be appropriate? Some surfaces will be coated with lime plaster but not all of them.
Thanks in advance!

A well sealed floor can be damp mopped, swept, waxed or vacuumed.
