Brilio.net - Maintaining body hydration is very important for health. Lack of water can cause various health problems, from dehydration to stomach cramps. Drinking water regularly is highly recommended.
Nowadays, many people choose mineral water in gallon packaging because it is practical and economical. Drinking water in gallons is easy to find on the market at an affordable price. Its use is also direct without the need to boil it first.
Empty gallons can still be used for other purposes, such as plant pots or raw water containers. However, it should be noted that gallons that are left in a damp and watery state are prone to becoming dirty and mossy if not cleaned immediately.
Cleaning a dirty gallon can be a challenge. The narrow shape of the gallon mouth makes it difficult to clean the inside. Therefore, regular maintenance is needed to maintain the cleanliness of the drinking water gallon.
As a solution, some people deliberately use a citric acid solution to clean it. However, if there is no stock of citric acid at home, you can follow this one method. This method is shown by YouTube user zona rusdi. In one of his videos, this netizen provides a tutorial on cleaning his drinking water gallon.
The method is also fairly easy to imitate at home. Moreover, you only need to prepare two simple ingredients to practice this method, namely dish soap and gravel.
First, wet the gallon that will be cleaned. If so, also scrub the entire surface of the gallon with dishwashing soap.
"Rub then rinse the gallon until the entire surface is clean again," explained the account owner, as quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube zona rusdi, Tuesday (1/10).

If the surface is clean, pour enough dish soap and water into the drinking water gallon. Well, don't forget to put the prepared gravel into it.
"Make sure the gravel used is clean. Just make sure it's small in size," he explained further.

Next, shake the drinking water gallon. Do this process until all the moss in the gallon disappears completely. After investigating, the use of gravel can be used as a substitute for a brush that can lift moss.
"When it's clean enough, remove the gravel from the gallon," he said.

Finally, rinse the gallon with running water. Shake it, drain the water, then run the gallon again with water until it is completely clean. After rinsing several times, the drinking water gallon will look clean and shiny again.
"Look at this, the result is clean again, right?" he explained.
