Can this floor be cleaned

[Photographer84]

Is there a way to "clean" the floor in photoshop without getting rid of the sturcture (little stones) of the floor?

Welcome aboard!
The only thing that comes to mind and that would come close would be to sample a reasonably clear part of the floor (e.g. the lower left corner), then paste that as a pattern, warp it to create the required foreshortening, then paste it onto the actual image. Then make a curves adjustment layer to mimic the variation in illumination and selectively blend that in. Quite a bit of work, not guaranteed to yield a satisfactory result.

This is one of those cases where actually cleaning the floor and making a new photograph is the easier option.

Pattern and/or texture cloning, with blending. This would be done at high magnification (400x up) on-screen, with a variably small circle (not a crosshair) to replicate the pattern and blend until the blemish has gone. Done with slow, methodical precision, at normal magnification a very good finished result can be achieved, but it does require patience — so it is not a five-minute job! Practice cloning/blending on a copy of the image. There will always be History steps to fall back on if you come a cropper.

the blemish

I really, really doubt whether your proposed approach will work with the 'blemishes' we see here. We're talking about an entire floor surface with wipe marks across it. You can't heal/clone that away, especially not at 400% magnification. I've done far more healing & cloning than I care to remember. It won't work here.

Take a photo of a clean floor from the same POV and paste it in

For what it's worth, I think a clean floor would make this image less interesting.

It looks like the marks that you want to remove are pretty low in frequency and the texture is pretty high in frequency so I would try a frequency separation technique and then either clone out the low frequency layer or even just blur the information away.

You can find a video on YouTube that will teach you how to do frequency separation in photoshop

You can ask CoPilot, but not sure what you are after, just ask it to sweep the floor so it is clean.

Also good to split double exposures back int to 2 images.
