A homemade recipe for clean, shiny and pleasantly scented floors

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
- Pour 2 liters of lukewarm water into a large bucket.
- Add salt and bicarbonate. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Then stir in vinegar (or lemon juice), alcohol and dishwashing liquid.
- Finish by adding fabric softener and mix well.
- 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.
