Brilio.net - The kitchen is often a place where various stains from cooking activities gather. The cooking process can cause food ingredients or cooking splashes to spread, making the kitchen dirty and full of stubborn stains. To clean these stains, a special cloth known as a kitchen cloth is usually used, which is designed to deal with food stains in the kitchen or dining table.
However, over time, kitchen towels can become dirty and smelly due to accumulated oil and grease stains. These stains are often difficult to remove, and many people use special ingredients such as citric acid to clean them. Usually, kitchen towels are soaked in citric acid overnight to dissolve stubborn oil and grease stains.
If you don't have citric acid, there are other kitchen alternatives that are just as effective. This ingredient was once used by TikTok user @ariana_arriana, who showed in her video that this kitchen ingredient is easy to find and is often used in cooking.
As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @ariana_arriana on Thursday (10/10), the kitchen ingredient used is baking soda.
Well, baking soda is very effective in removing oil and grease stains on kitchen towels. In addition, baking soda can also help neutralize unpleasant odors on kitchen towels.

How to use it, just put the kitchen cloth in a basin. Then sprinkle the kitchen cloth with a lot of baking soda. Then pour water until the kitchen cloth is soaked. In the video, he uses hot water so that the baking soda works more effectively to remove stains and odors.

Next step, soak the kitchen cloth until the water becomes colder. A moment later, the soaking water looks really cloudy and dirty. This indicates that the stains on the kitchen cloth have dissolved in the water.

Well, immediately throw away the soaking water. Then wash the kitchen cloth as usual. You can rub it or scrub the kitchen cloth using a brush. Do this process until the kitchen cloth is completely clean and free of stains.

Finally, rinse the kitchen cloth with running water. The washed kitchen cloth can be dried directly in the sun until dry. When dry, the kitchen cloth will be shiny again like new. Previously, the kitchen cloth was used to clean all the super dirty and oily stove components. However, when washed with baking soda, the stains can be easily removed. This indicates that baking soda is very effective in removing stains and unpleasant odors.
