Brilio.net - Water scale on plastic furniture, such as buckets and chairs, is often a disturbing problem both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. This scale is formed from mineral deposits such as calcium and magnesium that remain after the water evaporates. Although it seems trivial, water scale can make the surface of the furniture rough and more susceptible to damage.
One practical solution to overcome this problem is to use baking powder, as shared by Instagram user @cleaning_vibes_homes. Baking powder, which is commonly used as a leavening agent in baking, is effective in cleaning water crust. Here are the steps you can follow, BrilioFood reported from the Instagram account @cleaning_vibes_homes on Tuesday (10/12).

Next, apply the baking powder paste to all parts of the bucket that are crusty. Once it has been evenly applied, let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Then, scrub the bucket using a rough sponge or brush.

Well, the bucket that has been scrubbed can be rinsed right away. Immediately after rinsing, the bucket that was originally dull can be immediately clean, you know. Even its appearance is shinier than before.
