Brilio.net - Maintaining a clean house is very important for the comfort of its occupants. In addition to ensuring that items remain neat, sweeping and mopping the floor regularly is also no less important.
A broom can remove dirt, while a mop is useful for cleaning invisible layers of stains, such as fine dust. A mop is also useful for cleaning up spilled liquids and dirty floors.
Over time, the mop that was originally white will usually become dirty and dingy, even looking dull and black. This indicates that the mop has absorbed a lot of dirt from the floor and house.
Dirty and black mop conditions can reduce its absorption in cleaning dirt. In addition, dirty mops also tend to cause odor, even after being washed many times. Stains that stick firmly will make the mop musty and uncomfortable to use.
To overcome this, the mop needs to be cleaned in a special way, not just with regular detergent. A YouTube user named Adelia Fitri once shared a more effective way to clean a mop through one of her videos.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Adelia Fitri on Wednesday (11/12), the YouTube user admitted to only using simple ingredients found in the kitchen, namely dishwashing soap and vinegar. However, to get the results whiter and cleaner, she also used clothes bleach and citric acid.

The method is, prepare a bucket and put in 1/2 sachet of citric acid. After that, also put in 5 drops of dish soap. If so, mix all the ingredients with warm water. The use of warm water will make the stains on the mop fade quickly.
Next, put the mop into the bucket. Stir it back so that the liquid can be absorbed perfectly into the mop. After that, pour the bleach liquid right on top of the mop. Stir it back again so that the bleach is absorbed. After that, soak and let it sit for at least 1 hour.

Once done, lift the mop and scrub using a clothes brush. While scrubbing, you can add some soap to make the stains easier to remove. Then rinse and brush regularly until clean. If necessary, you can add a little more bleach, then continue to brush until clean.

In addition to adding bleach, also steal the mop with vinegar in between the mop and stains that are difficult to clean. In addition to making it clean, vinegar also makes the unpleasant odor on the mop disappear. Finally, rinse the mop several times until the stains and soap residue are gone.
The cleaned mop can be dried directly in the sun. Once dry, the mop looks really shiny. Its appearance is also white and clean and dry like new. Guaranteed the aroma is also more fragrant.
