Brilio.net - Rust stains on the floor can be formed from various sources, such as gas cylinders that are placed without a base. These gas cylinders can rust and leave crust on the floor. The marks are very striking, making the floor look dirty and unkempt. Worse, these rust stains tend to be difficult to clean because they are very stubborn. Rust is formed due to a reaction between metal, water, and oxygen which produces a reddish brown compound.
In the kitchen, floors that are often exposed to moisture from spilled water or hot steam make rust from gas cylinders easier to form and stick firmly. In addition, floor materials such as ceramic or porcelain can absorb rust stains deeper, so that ordinary cleaners are not effective enough to remove them. To overcome this problem, a stronger and more precise cleaning method is needed. Using natural ingredients such as vinegar or lemon which contain acid, plus baking soda, can be an effective solution to remove rust stains. If rust stains are still difficult to remove, special cleaning products designed to deal with rust can be used as an alternative.
But instead of melting the right cleaning product, you can mix it yourself with three simple ingredients. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @tari_ari_aja on Monday (12/16), the simple ingredients in question are citric acid, liquid detergent, and vinegar.
