If you mean the viral “homemade floor cleaner” recipe suggested by that headline, the headline itself does not contain the actual ingredients, so I can’t identify the original mixture with certainty.
A simple homemade floor cleaner
For sealed ceramic/porcelain tile, vinyl, or other water-resistant floors:
-
4 liters (1 gallon) of warm water
-
1–2 tablespoons mild dishwashing liquid
How to use it
-
Add the warm water to a bucket.
-
Mix in the dishwashing liquid gently; avoid making lots of foam.
-
Sweep or vacuum the floor first.
-
Mop using a well-wrung mop rather than soaking the floor.
-
For sticky areas, let the solution sit for a minute or two, then wipe.
-
If the floor feels soapy afterward, go over it with a clean, damp mop.
-
Let it air-dry.
What about vinegar, baking soda, or bleach?
Be careful with viral cleaning recipes. More ingredients don’t necessarily mean better cleaning. Avoid using vinegar on marble, limestone, travertine, or other acid-sensitive stone. Baking soda can be abrasive, and never mix bleach with vinegar, ammonia, or other household cleaners because dangerous gases can form.
If you send me the photo, video, or text of the specific “this mixture” recipe, I can give you the exact ingredients, measurements, and step-by-step instructions.
