I've used this type of decoupling membrane before it's called, Watec 2e matting used it on a floor which had two substrates wood & concrete.
It's differant than ditra matting , you dont stick it down you just lay it down and tape the joints.
Also used it on bitumen substrate to. Never tiled a floating floor in my life always walked away from them.
Well thats what I thought but using Watec 2e matting is a floating floor.

Laying loose bit unsure about that, it must work if it's been used on sites

I suppose it's the ultimate decoupling membrane, To clean it you could just pick it up and give it a shake!

Or if you're moving house roll it up and take it with you

just remember these decoupling systems only work on sturdy substrates any movement or spring in the floor then you cannot use them whoever they are made by
