água de limpeza
Explanation:
Teresa, acho que você pode traduzir apenas como adicione 1 copo de vinagre a água que for utilizar na limpeza. Fica mais claro, já que não temos mesmo uma expressão mais simples para mop water.

veja mop:
mop
n 1 esfregão, esfregalho. 2 punhado (de cabelo). • vt 1 esfregar, lavar. 2 secar a face (para remover suor ou lágrimas).
