Fabric softener is sometimes added for its fragrance and its ability to leave a smoother, fresher feel on surfaces, enhancing the overall impression of cleanliness.

Together, they create a basic homemade cleaning solution that can help refresh floors and restore a cleaner-looking finish without complicated products.

To prepare it, hot water is poured into a bucket, followed by about 120 ml of white vinegar and a small cap of fabric softener.

The mixture is stirred gently and then used like a regular floor-cleaning solution, with no additional ingredients needed for basic use.
