Brilio.net - Water scale in dishwashing sinks usually forms from mineral deposits contained in hard water, especially calcium and magnesium. Over time, these deposits build up and form a hard layer that is difficult to remove. Apart from disturbing aesthetics, water scale can also reduce the efficiency of water channels and cause damage to the surface of the sink.
The problem of water scale not only disturbs the appearance, but can also affect the cleanliness of the kitchen . The crust layer can become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs, which can ultimately contaminate eating utensils and cooking utensils. Apart from that, accumulated water scale can also cause clogged drains, so that water flows more slowly and washing becomes more difficult and less effective.
To make your sink shine, you can copy the trick shared by Instagram user @mikapratisha. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he only relied on simple ingredients he had at home.

However, before applying eucalyptus oil, you can wash the sink first. Use baking soda and dish soap to clean all the stains in the sink. After that, scrub using a brush and rinse until clean.

Next, wipe the dishwashing sink using a cloth. At this stage, white spots will usually appear on the sink, which is water crust. This water crust cannot simply be removed even if the sink has been brushed with soap or other cleaning agent. Therefore, Instagram user @mikapratisha uses eucalyptus oil.

How to use it: pour eucalyptus oil onto cotton. After that, use the cotton to rub the white crusty surface of the sink wall. Do this process repeatedly until the crust is completely gone. That way, the sink will be shiny and cleaner again.
