I agree = acuerdo (acordar)
I remember = me acuerdo de (acordarse de)

So, the reflexive acordarse means "to remember, and acordar means "to agree."

I think this is unlikely because you "clean" (limpiar) or "tidy" (ordenar, poner en orden) a flat rather than "wash" it. These examples from real translated speech are all about the floor as well: https://www.linguee.com/spanish-english/translation/lavar+el+piso.html

Thanks for your thoughtful reply and link. Wales46 was asking that question as a kind of joke, because "piso" doesn't just mean "floor", it also means "flat" or "apartment". So the question could also be saying "I always remember to wash the apartment". Obviously, that wasn't the intention, so it's just a funny coincidence. Besides, "piso" meaning "flat" is right there at the top of the link you provided, under the definition.

I've never heard "wash the floor" said in English. It would be "clean the floor."

There is a difference between what is customary and what is correct. "Wash the floor" may not be customary, but it is not incorrect.

In English we don't say 'wash' the floor, we say 'clean' or 'mop' or something, but not 'wash'
