🌿 What It Does
This water-based concentrate uses a gentle, biodegradable surfactant to remove grime without harsh fumes. Lemon and tulsi add a naturally clean aroma, while a light builder system helps soft water performance so floors dry streak-free.
🧴 Ingredients (makes 500 ml concentrate)
- Distilled water — 360 ml
- Decyl glucoside (non-ionic surfactant) — 100 ml (~20%)
- Lemon hydrosol — 20 ml
- Tulsi (holy basil) extract, water-soluble — 5 ml (1%)
- Sodium citrate (builder) — 5 g (1%)
- Ethanol (optional, faster dry-down) — 10–20 ml (2–4%)
- Preservative (broad-spectrum, water-phase) — per supplier rate
- Citric acid solution (10%) — q.s. to pH ~6.0–6.5 (see Stone-Safe Variant)
- Optional aroma accent: Steam-distilled lemon EO 10–20 drops, pre-solubilized (follow solubilizer supplier ratio)

🔥 How to Prepare
- Sanitize a 500 ml bottle, beaker, spoon, and funnel; allow to dry fully.
- In a beaker, add distilled water and lemon hydrosol. Dissolve sodium citrate.
- Slowly stir in decyl glucoside to minimize foam. Add tulsi extract and (optional) ethanol.
- Add preservative per supplier usage rate.
- Check pH; adjust to ~6.0–6.5 with drops of 10% citric acid solution. Mix gently.
- If using essential oil, pre-solubilize with a suitable natural solubilizer per supplier ratio; whisk in until uniform.
- Funnel into bottle, cap, and invert gently to combine.
🧽 How to Use (Dilutions)
- Bucket mop: 25 ml concentrate in 5 L warm water (≈1:200). Mop as usual; no rinse needed on most sealed surfaces.
- Spray mop / spot clean: 1:10 in a trigger bottle (e.g., 50 ml concentrate + 450 ml water). Lightly mist, then wipe.
- Heavier soil: Up to 1:50 dilution. Test first.
🧭 How You Can Use This Recipe
- For Personal Use: Mix one batch and top up a spray mop all month—fresh, low-fume cleaning.
- For R&D / Formulation: Compare 15% vs 20% decyl glucoside; test ethanol vs no-alcohol; trial sodium gluconate in place of citrate.
- For Small Business: Position as “Aromatic Floor Cleaner Concentrate — Lemon + Tulsi.” Offer 500 ml refills + measuring cap; minimal, eco-forward branding.
- For Gifting: Bundle with a reusable glass spray bottle and microfiber cloths.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Store capped, cool, and away from sunlight. With proper preservation and hygiene, best within 4–6 months. Shake gently before each use.
💡 Pro Tips
- Stone-Safe Variant (marble/granite/terrazzo): Omit citric acid and keep pH ~6.5–7.0. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Sealed wood: Use the spray dilution; avoid pooling. Dry with a microfiber pad.
- Streaks? Reduce dosage or increase water; overly rich solutions can leave film.
- Foam control: Add surfactant last and stir slowly; decant down the beaker wall.
🌿 Why This Works
Decyl glucoside lifts everyday dirt with low residue; sodium citrate softens water to reduce streaks; lemon and tulsi bring a bright, clean aroma that makes spaces feel freshly aired.
⚠️ Note
- For hard, sealed surfaces only. Always spot-test first.
- Avoid unsealed wood, waxed floors, and natural stone if using the acidic version.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest. Avoid eye contact.
