- 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.
