Reported by BrilioFood on Monday (13/5), the kitchen ingredient in question is dishwashing soap. Apart from that, he also uses citrus, floor cleaning fluid, bleach, cold water and hot water to remove stubborn stains on the mop.
First, prepare a bucket that is large enough. First remove the mop from the handle. If so, add enough dish soap and dissolve it in cold water until it is evenly mixed and produces foam.
