Floor cleaner liquid is made by formulating several ingredients, including arpus which is used as a disinfectant, texapon as a surfactant and hydroxy ethyl cellulose (HEC) as a thickener. Crude glycerol needs to be added to the floor cleaner formula to soften the texapon and increase the solubility of HEC. This research aimed to determine the effect of the amount of crude glycerol and distilled water on the chemical, physical and organoleptic properties of the floor cleaner fluid produced and to obtain the best floor cleaner. This research was designed using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two variable factors. The first factor is the volume of crude glycerol (A) which consists of 3 levels, including: A1 (50 mL), A2 (70 mL), A3 (100 mL). The second factor is the volume of distilled water (B) which consists of 3 levels, including: B1 (300 mL), B2 (400 mL), B3 (500 mL). The results of the research showed that the volume of crude glycerol had an effect on the pH of the floor cleaner, but had no effect on viscosity, density, preferred aroma, color and level of cleaning ability. The volume of distilled water has no effect on the pH, viscosity, density, preferred aroma, color and level of cleaning ability of the floor cleaner. Based on pH, the best floor cleaner was obtained in treatment A1B1 with an average favorability score of 4.17 (like), pH 7.16, viscosity 129.5 cP and density 1.02 g/cm³.
