Brilio.net - Yellow crust that often appears in the bathroom is one of the annoying household problems. This crust usually forms around the tap, sink, bathtub, and bathroom floor due to the accumulation of minerals from hard water, such as calcium and magnesium. In addition to ruining the aesthetics of the bathroom, this yellow crust is also difficult to remove and can give the impression of being dirty and unkempt, even though the bathroom is often cleaned.
Yellow scale forms when water with high mineral content evaporates and leaves residue. This process can be accelerated by high heat and humidity in the bathroom. In addition, using inappropriate cleaning products or products that are not strong enough to dissolve minerals also contribute to the formation of scale. Therefore, it takes a special method to overcome this problem.
Removing yellow scale in the bathroom requires extra effort and often uses special cleaning products designed to dissolve mineral deposits. If you are confused, you can use a trick shared by YouTube user @Gianola Vlog to clean yellow scale bathroom floors.

The final step, rinse the bathroom floor with running water. In addition to the floor, this cleaning agent can also be used to remove scale on the toilet or bathroom walls. Guaranteed the bathroom will be shinier and cleaner even if not brushed hard.
In addition to cleaning, preventing waterlogging is also very important to minimize the presence of crust on the bathroom floor. Make sure the bathroom has good ventilation to speed up the drying of the floor after use. You can install an exhaust fan or open the bathroom window after bathing.
Wiping the floor with a dry cloth after showering can also help prevent water buildup and scale formation. If there is a leak or seepage of water from the pipe, fix it immediately to avoid water accumulation that can cause scale. Finally, use a squeegee or floor cleaning tool to remove any remaining water after showering. With consistent maintenance and proper prevention techniques, your bathroom floor will stay clean and free of scale.
