Brilio.net - Not a few people use ceramic material for their bathroom floors. Not without reason, ceramic floors have an aesthetic appearance and the price is pocket-friendly. Apart from that, maintaining ceramic floors is also relatively easy.
Bathroom floor maintenance can start from cleaning it regularly. Some people even deliberately brush the bathroom floor using a special cleaning fluid. The goal is to make the bathroom floor look shiny.
The reason is, a dirty bathroom floor is certainly unsightly. Not only that, the buildup of crust or moss also makes the surface of the bathroom floor slippery.
To clean it, you don't always have to use a special liquid. It turns out there are other cleaning agents that can be used. A TikTok user @alastorgroup showed how in one of his video uploads.

Because there are still some leftovers, the cleaning solution that has been made can also be used to scrub the bathroom walls. This netizen even scrubbed the bathroom glass with the same cleaning solution.

After scrubbing evenly, rinse the entire surface of the bathroom floor using running water. Rinse several times until there is no dirt or cleaning solution left.

How to check if baking soda is still active or not.
The way to check whether baking soda is still active or not is to do a simple acid-base reaction test. Here are the steps:
1. Prepare materials.
Prepare a glass of warm water and add a little baking soda to it. You can use about half a teaspoon of baking soda.
2. Stir the mixture.
Stir the warm water and baking soda mixture until completely dissolved.
3. Add a little vinegar.
Add a few drops of vinegar to the solution. If the baking soda is still active, you will see a foamy reaction and release carbon dioxide gas.
4. Watch the reaction.
Observe whether the solution produces bubbles or foams when the vinegar is added. If there is, it shows that the baking soda is still active.
5. Interpretation of results.
If no reaction occurs when you add the vinegar, it is likely that the baking soda is no longer active and will not produce good results when used in cooking or cleaning.
This acid-base reaction test is simple but effective to check whether baking soda is still active or not. If you need active baking soda for a recipe or cleaning, be sure to check regularly. If the baking soda is no longer active, you should replace it with a new one to get the best results.
