Cleanoccino: A Homemade Cleaner That Looks Like a Cappuccino and Cleans Your Bathroom Better Than Anything From the Store

Cleanoccino is not just another viral fad, but a clever combination of everyday ingredients that together create a thick foam, ideal for cleaning grout, tiles, showers and kitchen surfaces. Its strength lies in its simplicity, and its appeal in its aesthetics – because why should cleaning be boring when it can look like art in a cup?

What is Cleanoccino and why is everyone praising it?

Cleanoccino is homemade cleanser in the form of a thick foam, which is prepared almost like frothed milk for coffee – except without the coffee and with a lot more baking soda. Users around the world use it to clean bathroom grout, ceramic surfaces and even kitchen countertops, as the foam is extremely sticky and spreads easily across surfaces, taking a few minutes to break down dirt.

The biggest advantage of Cleanoccin is that no rubbing required. Once applied, simply leave it to work and then wipe with a cloth. The surface remains clean, shiny and – apparently just as important these days – photogenic. No wonder it became a hit on TikTok, where aesthetics are almost as important as effect.

Recipe: How to prepare Cleanoccino at home

To make Cleanoccin, you only need a few basic household products. The recipe, popularized by PutzMarie, is surprisingly simple:

Ingridients:

• • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon dishwashing liquids
  • 1 tablespoon shine products (e.g. Finish or Denkmit Klarspüler)
  • a little of water (after feeling to get the right consistency)

Preparation process:

1. 1. Mix all ingredients in a small glass or container.
   2. Add a little water – start with a few drops and adjust as needed.
   3. Using a hand-held milk frother or a small electric mixer, whisk until a thick, creamy foam forms. It should be firm and soft – like a good cappuccino.

The result is a thick, durable foam that you can easily apply to various surfaces in your home.

Where and how is Cleanoccino used?

Cleanoccino works best in the bathroom and kitchen – wherever stubborn dirt, limescale and grease stains accumulate. Because the foam adheres well to surfaces, it is ideal for cleaning the joints between the tiles, shower cabins, window frames, armature and even kitchen worktops.

It is easy to use: apply the foam directly to the dirty surface, leave it to act for about 5 to 10 minutes, then simply wipe everything down with a damp cloth or sponge. No scrubbing, no medieval-style disinfection – and best of all, no aggressive odors, as polish is often already scented.

To top it all off, you can also add to Cleanoccino a drop of essential oil, such as lemon or eucalyptus – for that luxurious home SPA feel with a touch of minimalism.

Why does Cleanoccino work?

The magic of Cleanoccin lies in the combination of its ingredients. bicarbonate of soda provides a mild abrasive effect and removes unpleasant odors. Dishwashing liquid breaks down fats and other impurities, while shine agent prevents limescale build-up while creating a smooth, shiny surface. Combined with a foamy texture that stays where you apply it, you get a powerful yet gentle cleaner that is as effective as any professional product – and much more fun to use.

Conclusion: Aesthetics meets efficiency

Cleanoccino is more than just a TikTok phenomenon—it's a practical cleaning tool that combines power, aesthetics, and playfulness. Once you try this foam trick, you'll probably start looking at cleaning as an opportunity to get creative. And who knows—you might start cleaning more often if it involves foam that looks like something you'd find in a trendy Berlin coffee shop.
