¼ Cup baking soda
2 Gallons hot water
1 Tablespoon dawn soap
¼ Cup vinegar
Directions:
Dissolve the baking soda to in the 1 1/2 - 2 gallons of hot water.
Gently stir in 1 tablespoon of dawn soap making sure it DOES NOT GET BUBBLY OR SUDSY or that will leave unwanted marks on floors.
Next add the ¼ cup of vinegar and gently stir and you’re ready to mop.
The last step is to go over the floors with a mop dipped in clean water.
Your floors will be beautiful and shiny clean.
Dip the mop back into your solution often and rinse to ensure that you get the best results.

great for Linoleum and Tile Floors, be sure to test spot before using on wood floors, the finish is different for those.

An easier one is to just put a tablespoon or so in a gallon of water. You can
use that to clean just about anything. Just don't mix it with amonia. I use it to
disinfect my countertops, wash my floors, clean the stove, clean the toilet, sink,
shower, just about everything.

Mix won't work on all floors as well.
Wood for example will scum.
Good however for basic cleaning.

That wasn't my recipe but that may not work for wooden floors.

No no no! You don't use soap on wood floors, not dish washing soap, anyway.
