Brilio.net - The bathroom or toilet is an area that gets dirty very quickly, considering that this place is used every day. The surface of the toilet, water tap, and bathroom walls can be covered in yellow stains if not cleaned regularly. It turns out that these yellow stains are caused by the accumulation of calcium, rust stains, and mold. In addition to being unsightly, these yellow stains can also cause an unpleasant odor.
A dirty bathroom can also be a breeding ground for various germs and bacteria. According to healthline.com, bacteria that accumulate in the bathroom, such as Escherichia coli, can cause diarrhea or stomach flu symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Therefore, it is important to clean the bathroom regularly after use.
However, if the bathroom has already turned yellow, people usually use citric acid to remove stubborn stains. Although proven effective, citric acid is not suitable for everyone. Some people experience reactions such as redness or pain on the skin of the hands when exposed to this liquid. In addition, inhaling citric acid can also cause respiratory symptoms, such as coughing and shortness of breath. Very worrying, right?
You can try the method used by a netizen named Zulaikha Pratiwy. She uses kitchen ingredients to effectively deal with stains and limescale in the bathroom.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Zulaikha Pratiwy on Thursday (12/9), one kitchen ingredient needed is vinegar. In addition, she also added toothpaste as a mixed ingredient.
The method is to mix toothpaste and vinegar in a container. For the measurements, you can adjust them to your taste. Once done, stir until both ingredients are perfectly mixed.
"The final shape will be like this pasta, my friends," said the account owner.

Just apply the finished cleaning fluid to the parts in the bathroom. In the video, this netizen is seen applying the cleaning fluid to the surface of the water tap.
"Once it's evenly distributed, just brush it using a toothbrush like this," he explained further.

Not only the water tap, he also applied the cleaning fluid to the toilet. After it is evenly distributed, then scrub the entire surface of the toilet using a soft sponge. Do this process until all stains and yellow crust are gone without a trace.

Once done, rinse all parts of the bathroom with clean water. That way, you can see for yourself how the results of the bathroom are cleaned using the cleaning mixture. The surface of the water tap and toilet are shiny and clean again.
"The yellow stain is gone, no trace left. If you only clean it with water, it will leave water marks on the surface. So it's better to just use this method," he said.
