Brilio.net - When eggs fall and break on ceramic floors , there will be a number of problems that arise. Because, broken eggs not only leave stains, but also make the floor slippery and smell bad.
This condition will be even more troublesome when the slippery egg white mixes with the oily yolk. This will create a layer of stain that is difficult to clean if only wiped as usual.
Moreover, if the floor is not cleaned properly, the remaining protein from the egg can be absorbed into the pores of the ceramic, leaving a fishy smell that lasts a long time. This is not only disturbing comfort, but also has the potential to attract insects and create an unhygienic environment.
To overcome this problem, some people sometimes use some tricks. Usually, the broken eggs on the ceramic will be sprinkled with flour or baking soda. Both of these materials have the property of absorbing liquids, including eggs that have a liquid and slightly thick texture.
But besides flour and baking soda, you can also use other ingredients like those used by Instagram user @renii.asih. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using salt. Yup, this salt can remove egg shards while making ceramics free from fishy smells and not slippery.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @renii.asih on Tuesday (8/27), the first thing to do is to sprinkle salt on the broken eggs. Sprinkle the salt evenly until it covers all the egg stains on the ceramic. After that, stir using a spoon so that the salt and eggs mix.
When sprinkled on top of an egg spill, salt will absorb the moisture from the egg liquid, both the white and the yolk. This process makes the egg that was previously slippery and sticky become denser and drier, making it easier to lift and clean. In addition, salt also has a slightly rough texture, which helps scrape off the remaining egg residue that sticks to the ceramic surface.

Now, if the eggs are mixed with salt, you can collect them in one spot. Then take them using a piece of tissue. Because the texture is already solid, these egg fragments can be easily lifted.

The last step, wipe using tissue or cloth until the floor is completely clean. That way, the ceramic floor becomes shinier and dry. No need to worry about the smell, because salt can also absorb the fishy smell of the broken eggs.
