Brilio.net - Having a clean, dry, and fragrant floor is certainly the dream of many people, especially for homeowners who want to maintain the comfort and cleanliness of their homes. However, reality is not always as beautiful as expectations, because often the floor feels slippery and smells bad after being mopped.
This problem can cause its own concerns, especially if the house is occupied by children or elderly people who are prone to slipping. Slippery floors are not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous if not immediately addressed in the right way.
Some people may wonder why a floor that has been cleaned regularly feels dirtier after being mopped. One common cause is the use of inappropriate cleaning fluid or excessive amounts, leaving slippery residue on the floor surface.
In addition, dirty mop water or unclean mop cloth can also be the source of the fishy smell that sticks to the floor. If both of these things are allowed to continue, not only will an unpleasant odor appear, but it will also create an unhealthy home environment.
To overcome this problem, the use of cleaning products alone is not enough. It takes effective cleaning techniques and mixtures so that the mopping results are more optimal, do not leave an unpleasant odor, and the floor still feels rough when stepped on.

One interesting solution that went viral on social media came from a TikTok user @misstria_. She shared a simple concoction of floor cleaner with household ingredients, without having to rely on carbolic acid or heavy chemicals.
In the video, he uses an unusual kitchen ingredient: salt. The combination of salt with dish soap and floor cleaner can produce an effective mopping mixture that thoroughly cleans floors.

The method of making it is quite simple. Start by pouring two tablespoons of salt into a container, then add enough dish soap. After that, add the floor cleaning soap according to the required measurement.
The next step is to add boiling hot water to the mixture. Make sure all the ingredients are stirred until completely dissolved so that they are evenly mixed and ready to be used for mopping.
The resulting liquid can then be used to mop the floor as usual. However, there is one important thing that should not be overlooked: always use a really clean mop so that dirt does not spread back onto the floor surface.
Before you start mopping, make sure your hands are protected when wringing out the mop that has been dipped in hot water. This step is important so that your hands are not at risk of burns due to the high temperature of the water.

Although it looks simple, the results of this cleaning fluid are quite satisfying. The floor feels rougher, no longer slippery, and the fishy smell is gone, replaced by a fresher scent.
This method is an effective alternative for those of you who want to keep your house floor clean without having to rely on harsh chemicals such as carbolic acid. In addition to being safer, the ingredients used are also easy to find in the kitchen.
This trick is suitable for everyday practice, especially for those who want to keep their house clean without spending extra money. The most important point is still the cleanliness of the mop and the water used.
If the floor in your house often feels slippery or smelly even though it has been mopped, there's no harm in trying this method. Not only is it practical, but it is also effective in restoring the comfort of the house floor as before.
