A homemade recipe for clean, shiny and pleasantly scented floors

This homemade solution   is generating a lot of attention on social media  , and for good reason: it combines effectiveness, freshness, and economy. This natural blend, made with everyday ingredients, cleans deeply while leaving a   thin protective layer against dust  . And best of all? It leaves your home with a lovely scent for days.

Here is what you need for 2 liters of preparation:

  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 2 tablespoons mild dishwashing liquid
  • 120 ml   white vinegar or lemon juice
  • 120 ml   of household alcohol
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 capful of fabric softener
  • And of course 2 liters of lukewarm water

Simple steps for optimal efficiency

  1. Pour 2 liters of lukewarm water into a large bucket.
  2. Add salt and bicarbonate. Stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Then stir in vinegar (or lemon juice), alcohol and dishwashing liquid.
  4. Finish by adding fabric softener and mix well.
  5. Use this solution as you would a regular cleaning product: soak the mop, wring it out, clean...   and above all, don't rinse it   ! Let it air dry so the mixture can work properly.

Why is this recipe so effective?

Each ingredient has its specific role:

  • White vinegar: degreases, disinfects and adds shine.
  • Baking soda: neutralizes odors and helps loosen dirt.
  • Rubbing alcohol: facilitates drying and disinfects.
  • Salt: Enhances the cleaning effect.
  • Fabric softener: leaves a light dust-repellent film and provides a discreet perfume.

The result:   cleaner floors for longer, a cooler house and much less effort in everyday life.

Where and how should it be used?

This mixture is ideal for:

  • The tiles
  • Vinyl flooring
  • Ceramics
  • Porcelain
  • Laminate or varnished parquet floors (  by reducing the amount of bicarbonate  )

Avoid on:

  • Untreated raw wood
  • Natural porous stone (such as marble)

Bonus tip   : For an extra wellness effect, you can add a few drops  of essential oil   (lavender, eucalyptus or lemon) according to your preferences.
